Abstract: An online system accesses a two-tower model trained to identify candidate items for presentation to users, in which the model includes an item tower trained to compute item embeddings and a user tower trained to compute user embeddings. The user tower includes a long-term sub-tower trained to compute long-term embeddings for users and a short-term sub-tower trained to compute short-term embeddings for users. The model is trained based on item data associated with items, user data associated with users, and session data associated with user sessions. The system uses the item tower to compute an item embedding for each of multiple candidate items. The system also uses the long-term sub-tower to compute a long-term embedding for a user. The system then receives session data associated with a current session of the user and uses the short-term sub-tower to compute a short-term embedding for the user based on this session data.

Abstract: An online concierge system uses a model to predict a user's interaction with an item, based on a user embedding for the user and an item embedding for the item. For the model to account for more recent interactions by users with items without retraining the model, the online concierge system generates updated item embeddings and updated user embeddings that account for the recent interactions by users with items. The online concierge system compares performance of the model using the updated item embeddings and the updated user embeddings relative to performance of the model using the existing item embeddings and user embeddings. If the performance of the model decreases, the online concierge system adjusts the updated user embeddings and the updated item embeddings based on the change in performance of the model. The adjusted updated user embeddings and adjusted updated item embeddings are stored for use by the model.

Abstract: An online concierge system enables users to create lists of items and generate a link allowing other receiving users to access a list by selecting the link. When a receiving user selects the link, the online concierge system generates a user-specific list from the original list. The user-specific list includes user-specific items selected for the receiving user that replace items in the original list based on item availability to the receiving user, receiving user preferences, and other receiving user-specific criteria. The receiving user can then view the user-specific items in the user-specific list via an interface allowing the user-specific items in the user-specific list to be included in an order in a single interaction.

Abstract: An online system selects an item to present to a user of the online system. The online system accesses user interaction data for the user. The online system transmits the user interaction data to a model serving system and receives, from the model serving system, item embeddings for the items with which the user interacted. The model serving system may use an LLM to generate the item embeddings based on the user interaction data. The online system generates a user embedding array based on the item embeddings. The online system applies a transformer network to the user embedding array to generate a user embedding describing the user. To select an item to present to the user, the online system compares the generated user embedding to item embeddings for a set of candidate items. The online system selects a candidate item based on the interaction scores.

Abstract: An online concierge system allows users to purchase items from warehouses and delivers the purchased items to the users. When displaying items offered by a warehouse, the online concierge system predicts an availability of the items at the warehouse using a trained model. When displaying items offered by the warehouse to a user, the online concierge system accounts for the predicted availabilities of different items. For example, the online concierge system determines scores for different items at the warehouse based on relevance to the user and adjusts a score for an item by its predicted availability. The online concierge system uses the adjusted scores for items when displaying items, demoting positions in an interface in which items with lower predicted availabilities are displayed. Additionally, the online concierge system may display a visual indication of a predicted availability of certain items, such as items with less than a threshold predicted availability.

Abstract: An online concierge system allows a user to provide a nutritional goal and uses the nutritional goal as a constraint for selecting candidate orders to display to the user. From prior orders from the user, the online concierge system generates order templates including combinations of generic item descriptions corresponding to items previously included in orders from the user. From the order templates, the online concierge system generates candidate orders including specific items from a warehouse corresponding to the generic item descriptions. The online concierge system selects a set of the candidate orders that each include specific items with combined nutritional information satisfying the user's nutritional goal. Based on probabilities of the user purchasing different candidate orders of the set, the online concierge system selects one or more candidate orders of the set for display to the user.
