    Abstract: Various embodiments described herein assist in identifying one or more product items of interest (e.g., high demand product items) based on surge activity, such as user buying surges, user selling surges, and user product listing (e.g., electronic or online listing) surges on an online marketplace system, and can further notify one or more users of selling opportunities of the identified products items of interest.

    Abstract: Described are aspects of a sharded monitoring system that collects metrics data from a plurality of targets within a monitored system. The monitoring system includes multiple monitoring-server instances each collecting metrics data from a respective subset of the targets, as well as a federation server that collects aggregated metrics data from the other monitoring-server instances. Mappings between monitoring targets and monitoring-server instances collecting their metrics data may be stored in a temporal routing map, e.g., on the federation server, which may build the map based on time-series routing metrics received from the other monitoring-server instances. The routing map may be used to direct queries for metrics data from a client to the appropriate monitoring-server instance.

    Abstract: A system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and a computer-implemented method for simulating the fit of a particular garment on a user using a fit simulation garment. The fit simulation garment is wearable by a user and comprises a plurality of actuators configured to simulate tightness of regions of the particular garment. The method includes receiving a garment fit model defining the fit of the particular garment on the user. The method further includes parsing the garment fit model to generate control data for controlling the fit simulation garment, and transmitting the control data to the fit simulation garment to cause the plurality of actuators to collectively simulate the fit of the particular garment on the user.

    Abstract: Outfit curation by generative artificial intelligence is described. A prompt is generated, based on a seed clothing item, for input to generative artificial intelligence to create an outfit that includes the seed clothing item. The prompt is provided to the generative artificial intelligence to cause the generative artificial intelligence to initiate a search of an online marketplace to locate complementary clothing items for the outfit that are available on the online marketplace. Responsive to the search initiated by the generative artificial intelligence, search results containing listings of the complementary clothing items for the outfit that are available on the online marketplace are received. The listings of the complementary clothing items for the outfit are arranged in a user interface for user selection.

    Abstract: Various methods and systems for providing indications of inconsistent attributes of item listings associated in item listing videos. An item listing video—of an item listing—is accessed. The item listing video is accessed via an item listing interface of an item listing system. Extracted item features—via a machine learning engine—of an item from the item listing video, are accessed. The extracted item features are extracted based on listing-interface item features associated with listing the item. The extracted item features of the item are compared to the listing-interface item features of the item. Based on comparing the listing-interface item features to the extracted, an inconsistent attribute—between an extracted item feature and a listing-interface item feature that is associated with listing the item—is identified. An indication of an inconsistent attribute is communicated to cause display of the indication of the inconsistent attribute at the item listing interface.

    Abstract: Virtual account use in an online marketplace is described. Listings published to a multitude of client devices by the online marketplace include a first listing for a first item and a second listing for a second item. The first item is listed by a first user account and the second item is listed by a second user account. In connection with a third user account purchasing the first item, the online marketplace provides a first monetary compensation to the first user account from the third user account by updating a balance of a virtual account of the first user account to include the first monetary compensation. In connection with the first user account purchasing the second item via the second listing, the online marketplace provides at least a portion of the balance to the second user account directly from the virtual account as second monetary compensation.

    Abstract: A data quality check using a structured query language hint is described. A query optimizer of a database management system may receive a data quality check instruction as part of a database query statement for a database query. The query optimizer may modify a query execution plan for the database query based on the data quality check instruction so that completion of the database query is dependent on a result of a data quality check defined by the data quality check instruction. The database management system may execute the modified query execution plan.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for are provided for predicting impending failure of a database and preemptively initiating mitigating failover actions, for example by shedding connections or redirecting connection requests to an alternate database that can fulfill resources being requested. In an example embodiment, to detect a slow or unstable database, connection wait times are monitored over a rolling window of time intervals, a quantity of intervals in which at least one excessive wait time event occurred are counted during the time window, and if the quantity exceeds a threshold, the database is deemed unavailable, thereby triggering connection adjustments.

    Abstract: An audio output device may include one or more audio sensors configured to detect ambient sound and noises around the audio output device. The audio output device may include a controller configured to analyze the detected sound and noises and may adjust audio settings of the audio output device accordingly. In an embodiment, the controller may analyze and recognize that the detected noise is another person's attempt to get the user's attention or to talk to the user, such as audio sound of the user's name. In response, the controller may stop the audio output or lower the volume of the audio output.
