Patent number: 11734813Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for object detection and classification, and particularly produce detection and classification. A system configured according to this disclosure can receiving, at a processor, an image of an item. The system can then perform, across multiple pre-trained neural networks, feature detection on the image, resulting in feature maps of the image. These feature maps can be concatenated and combined, then input into an additional neural network for feature detection on the combined feature map, resulting in tiered neural network features. The system then classifies, via the processor, the item based on the tiered neural network features.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2022Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: Walmart Apollo, LLCInventors: Issac Mathew, Pushkar Pushp, Viraj Patel, Emily Xavier, Gaurav Savlani, Venkataraja Nellore, Rahul Agarwal, Girish Thiruvenkadam, Shivani Naik

Publication number: 20180039925Abstract: Examples of the disclosure provide a system and method for entity-specific inventory optimization. An inventory optimization module obtains inventory data for an individual entity at a given time, including variance date codes associated with an individual item, and identifies at least one item of a plurality of items that exceeds an inventory threshold based on the inventory data. An elasticity estimation module receives the identified item from the inventory optimization module, identifies a value response curve for the identified at least one item based at least in part on entity-cluster data, generates an entity-specific elasticity value for the item, and generates an inventory optimization recommendation based on the generated entity-specific elasticity value and the variance date codes of the inventory data.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2017Publication date: February 8, 2018Inventors: Willie Montgomery, III, Venkataraja Nellore

Publication number: 20170270545Abstract: Examples of the disclosure provide a context-specific forecasting device including a consumption analytics module and a data control module. The consumption analytics module receives a data request for a consumption unit, including an attempted data request value associated with an individual environment and corresponding to a given period of time. The consumption analytics module identifies a forecasted consumption value for the consumption unit corresponding to the individual environment and the given period of time. The consumption analytics module determines a threshold factor for the consumption unit corresponding to the individual environment and the given period of time, and generates an allowance threshold for the data request. The data control module then determines whether to adjust the data request based on the generated allowance threshold and the attempted data request value.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2017Publication date: September 21, 2017Inventors: Willie Montgomery, III, Venkataraja Nellore
