  • Publication number: 20250124498
    Abstract: An online system presents a sponsored content page to a user in conjunction with a model serving system. The online system accesses a content page for a food item and identifies one or more sponsorship opportunities at the content page. The online system identifies one or more candidate sponsors for each sponsorship opportunity. The online system selects a bidding sponsor for the sponsorship opportunity from the one or more candidate sponsors and a candidate item associated with the bidding sponsor as a sponsored item. The online system provides a content page, a description of the sponsored item, and a request to generate a sponsored content page for the sponsorship opportunity to a model serving system. The online system receives a sponsored content page generated by a machine-learning language model at the model serving system and presents the sponsored content page to a user.

  • Publication number: 20250117442
    Abstract: An online concierge system receives unstructured data describing items offered for purchase by various warehouses. To generate attributes for products from the unstructured data, the online concierge system extracts candidate values for attributes from the unstructured data through natural language processing. One or more users associate a subset candidate values with corresponding attributes, and the online concierge system clusters the remaining candidate values with the candidate values of the subset associated with attributes. One or more users provide input on the accuracy of the generated clusters. The candidate values are applied as labels to items by the online concierge system, which uses the labeled items as training data for an attribute extraction model to predict values for one or more attributes from unstructured data about an item.

  • Publication number: 20250095046
    Abstract: An online system obtains a target food from an order for a user and alcohol preferences from an order purchase history. The online system generates a prompt for a machine learning model to request alcohol candidates based on the target food category. The prompt includes the alcohol preferences, and requests for each alcohol candidate, a pairing score indicating how well the target food category pairs with the alcohol candidate and a user preference score indicating how well the alcohol candidate aligns with the alcohol preferences. The online system receives as output the candidate alcohol items. Each alcohol candidate has the pairing score, the user preference score, and a textual reason for scores. The online system matches at least one alcohol item from a catalog with each alcohol candidate. A subset of alcohol items is presented to the user as a carousel.

  • Publication number: 20250086395
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to utilizing a language model to automatically generate a novel recipe with refined content, which can be offered to a user of an online system. The online system generates a first prompt for input into a large language model (LLM), the first prompt including a plurality of task requests for generating initial content of a recipe. The online system requests the LLM to generate, based on the first prompt input into the LLM, the initial content of the recipe. The online system generates a second prompt for input into the LLM, the second prompt including the initial content of the recipe and contextual information about the recipe. The online system requests the LLM to generate, based on the second prompt input into the LLM, refined content of the recipe. The online system stores the recipe with the refined content in a database of the online system.

  • Publication number: 20250069298
    Abstract: An online concierge system trains a fine-tuned generative image model for distinct categories of items based on a generative image model that takes a textual query as input and outputs and an associated image. Training of the fine-tuned generative image model is additionally based on a small set of representative images associated with the various categories, as well as textual tokens associated with the categories. Once trained, the fine-tuned generative image model can be used to generate realistic representative images for items in a database of the online concierge system that are lacking associated images. The fine-tuned model permits the generation of different variants of an item, such as different quantities or amounts, different packaging or packing density, and the like.

  • Publication number: 20250037323
    Abstract: An online system performs a task in conjunction with the model serving system or the interface system. The system generates a first prompt for input to a machine-learned language model, which specifies contextual information and a first request to generate a theme. The system provides the first prompt to a model serving system for execution by the machine-learned language model, receives a first response, and generates a second prompt. The second prompt specifies the theme and a second request to generate a third prompt for input to an image generation model that includes a third request to generate one or more images of one or more items associated with the theme. The system receives the third prompt by executing the model on the second prompt, provides the third prompt to the image generation model, and receives one or more images for presentation.

  • Publication number: 20250005279
    Abstract: A computer system uses clustering and a large language model (LLM) to normalize attribute tuples for items stored in a database of an online system. The online system collects attribute tuples, each attribute tuple comprising an attribute type and an attribute value for an item. The online system initially clusters the attribute tuples into a first plurality of clusters. The online system generates prompts for input into the LLM, each prompt including a subset of attribute tuples grouped into a respective cluster of the first plurality. Based on the prompts, the LLM generates a second plurality of clusters, each cluster including one or more attribute tuples that have a common attribute type and a common attribute value. The online system maps each attribute tuple to a respective normalized attribute tuple associated with each cluster. The online system rewrites each attribute tuple in the database to a corresponding normalized attribute tuple.
