    Abstract: A method of creating a delay queue architecture for relaying messages between a producer and a consumer is provided. The method includes creating an ordered sequence of delay queues. Each delay queue is assigned in the ordered sequence based on a fixed delay time associated with each delay queue. A first message is assigned to a first delay queue of the delay queues in the ordered sequence and a second message is assigned to a second delay queue of the delay queues. The first and second messages have time delays and are assigned to the first and second delay queues based on the time delays. A passage of a first-time delay is detected and the second message is moved to the first delay queue based on the passage of the first-time delay.

    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: Systems, methods, and computer program products for identifying a candidate product in an electronic marketplace based on a visual comparison between candidate product image visual text content and input query image visual text content. Unlike conventional optical character recognition (OCR) based systems, embodiments automatically localize and isolate portions of a candidate product image and an input query image that each contain visual text content, and calculate a visual similarity measure between the respective portions. A trained neural network may be re-trained to more effectively find visual text content by using the localized and isolated visual text content portions as additional ground truths. The visual similarity measure serves as a visual search result score for the candidate product. Any number of images of any number of candidate products may be compared to an input query image to enable text-in-image based product searching without resorting to conventional OCR techniques.

    Abstract: A system, a method, and a device for authentication of a product includes one or more databases configured to store data of one or more products, and a user device communicatively coupled to the databases via a network. The user device includes at least one memory configured to store computer executable instructions, and at least one processor configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to receive, from an authenticator, product search data of the product, and to search the product in the databases based on the product search data. The product is listed by a user for authentication, and the product is authenticated by scanning an authentication tag attached to the product. The authentication tag is pre-programmed and becomes inactive when detached from the product. There is also a dual-purpose device for authenticating a commercial product and associating a brand with the authentication of the product.

    Abstract: In various example embodiments, a system and method for dynamically generating virtual marketplace platforms are presented. The system receives a set of facility data, a set of selections for a set of user interaction objects, and a set of object placement selections. The set of user interaction objects includes a first subset and a second subset. The system generates a virtual facility comprising the facility data and the set of user interaction objects distributed based on the object placement selections. The system receives user data for a user interacting with the virtual facility and one or more objects of the first and second subset of user interaction objects, dynamically arranges the second subset of user interaction objects into a second arrangement and causes presentation of the virtual facility and the set of user interaction objects to the user.

    Abstract: A search engine is provided that generates search results proportional to a natural distribution. Search results identified and ranked by the search engine for a search query are redistributed so that a fixed number of top ranked search results include search result attributes proportional to the natural distribution, as determined from interaction tracking of prior search results. A natural distribution index mapping prior search queries to search result attributes and a proportional representation of interactions with the search result attributes is generated. The natural distribution is determined from the proportional representation of interactions. The search engine redistributes the fixed number of top ranked search results by minimizing a gap between the ranked set of search results for the search query and the natural distribution.

    Abstract: Search techniques are described that support locating and displaying prospective objects in digital images based on a removed object. A digital image, for instance, is received by a computing device as an input depicting a physical environment with various objects and displayed in a user interface. An object depicted by the digital image is removed. An aspect of the removed object is identified. A search system leverages the aspect to locate a prospective object. The prospective object is configured for display within the digital image. As a result, the digital image is displayed in the user interface as having the configured prospective object depicted in the physical environment.

    Abstract: Dynamic link preview generation techniques are described that overcome the challenges of conventional techniques by supporting link preview generation by a content provider system that proves the digital content via a respective network address. In one example, a content provider system, based on a request received from a service provider system, identifies a communication platform of the service provider system that is to be used to communicate the shared link. Upon identifying the communication platform, the content provider system locates customization data that describes how the link preview is to be generated for the communication platform. In response, the content provider system renders digital content available via the network address to generate the link preview.
