    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically generating a video associated with an item in the marketplace. An image receiver receives images associated with an item of an item listing. An image extractor generates visual descriptors for each image through computer vision analysis and extracts a unique set of images by removing redundant images. An image sorter sorts images in the unique set of images based on an item category and generates a sequence of images for generating a video. A text placer automatically identifies a region in an image and inserts text into the image using textual attributes as predicted by a model. A video data optimizes a generated video using another model trained based on manual adjustments previously made to other exemplary video data. The disclosed technology publishes the automatically generated video data for viewing by viewers in the marketplace.

    Abstract: Systems and methods change a user interface for the purpose of guiding a user in supplementing a product listing with an image to evidence the product's authenticity. Example embodiments include a machine-implemented method for accessing at least one database to retrieve an authenticity criterion mapped to a product and at least one reference image that depicts adequate detail of a product specimen to fulfill the authenticity criterion. The machine can further cause a user device to display the reference image to the user along with a suggestion that the user submit a candidate image depicting similar detail of the product. In some example embodiments, the method further includes retrieving the candidate image, confirming receipt of the candidate image, and displaying the candidate image, as well as adjusting a rank for a candidate specimen based on various factors.

    Abstract: A categorization analysis system is provided. The categorization analysis system includes one or more hardware processors, a memory including a first plurality of listings categorized in a first target category, and a categorization analysis engine executing on the one or more hardware processors. The categorization analysis engine is configured to determine a label for each listing including performing a search on title, select a set of training listings based on the determined labels, train a first model using the set of training listings and the determined labels, the first model being a classification model configured to classify categorization of listings, identify a suspect listing categorized in the first target category, apply the suspect listing to the first model, thereby generating a categorization result for the suspect listing, the categorization result indicating miscategorization of the suspect listing, and identify the suspect listing in the memory as miscategorized.

    Abstract: Techniques for creating a user network based on user interest in a product are described. For example, a first search query is received from a first client device. The first client device is associated with a first user. A second search query is received from a second client device. The second client device is associated with a second user. The first search query is matched to a product. The second search query is matched to the product. A user network corresponding to the product is created. The first user is added to the user network based on the matching of the first search query to the product. The second user is added to the user network based on the matching of the second search query to the product.

    Abstract: Methods for enhancing or automating a review process of annotation tags for a set of tokens is described. A system may receive a list of tokens with associated tags for each token for a data set and may output any identified inconsistencies where a token is assigned at least two different tags. For example, instead of a human looking at each token individually or taking a sample set of the tags for review, the described techniques may look at all tokens with the associated tags in a set of data and may leverage reorganizing the tokens and associated tags to highlight errors to be fixed. Accordingly, the system may look across all tokens within an entire data set, while a review (e.g., by a human) of possible errors of the data set is limited to the highlighted errors flagged by the system.

    Abstract: Contextual menus based on images submitted to a network based publication system are disclosed. Images depicting a variety of locales such as businesses, or other items, may be stored in an image repository in the system and used to identify images that users may submit as photograph images taken by cell phone, camera, webcam, a laptop with camera capability. After identification of the submitted image the system may categorize the image and provide the user a category driven menu relating to the photograph, the menu based on both the submitted image and the user's intent when he or she is capturing the image.

    Abstract: A process for linking related images and videos is disclosed. The process can include receiving listing information including the images and the video, processing the images using an image processor to determine one or more image descriptors, processing the video using a video processor to determine video descriptors, comparing the image descriptors to the video descriptors, calculating a similarity value for each of the image descriptors in relation to each of the video descriptors, and linking the videos and the images based upon the calculated similarity value. The method can also include causing the display of a user interface including a video linking user interface element operable to cause playback of a relevant portion of the video linked with the displayed image and an image linking user interface element operable to cause display of a relevant image linked with a portion of the video playback.
