Abstract

Techniques for optimizing a food service configured to receive food orders from multiple customers, and consolidate orders based on respective days, times, and locations associated therewith. The food orders may include deliveries, customer pick-ups, and dine-in options for eating at a restaurant. The optimized food service may be configured to assign a restaurant to the consolidated orders and send a preparation instruction to the restaurant to prepare the consolidated orders for a designated pick-up or dining time. The optimized food service may additionally instruct an order supervisor to travel to the restaurant to assist in preparation of the consolidated orders. The order supervisor may additionally serve a food order, such as for a dine-in option or full service, catered delivery. For delivery orders, the optimized food service may assign a courier and, in some examples, a delivery assistant, to deliver the orders to respective customers.

Abstract

Systems and methods for minimizing transporter wait times are disclosed. A server computer associated with an item fulfillment service organization (e.g., an organization that manages the delivery of items, such as food, to end users), can estimate the amount of time it will take to prepare an item (e.g., a meal) by a service provider (e.g., a restaurant). The server computer can also estimate the amount of time it will take a transporter (e.g., a delivery driver) to travel to the service provider in order to retrieve the item. The server computer can use machine learning to perform this estimation process. Based on these time estimations, the server computer can time the release of messages to transporters and service providers, in order to minimize the amount of time that a transporter is waiting for an item to be prepared by a service provider.

Abstract

Various embodiments can reduce variance in a target metric (e.g., experiment outcome). Embodiments can use historical pre-experiment outcomes to predict a metric (forecasts) that is expected for a future measurement time. The forecasts can then be used as a covariate to reduce the variance of the target metric. When predicting forecasts, various embodiments can use an automation pipeline that can generate better and quicker forecasts. When there are multiple covariates that may be considered to reduce variance in the target metric, various embodiments can use a closed from solution for determining optimal coefficient of each covariate.

Abstract

In some examples, a location of a merchant is updated as the merchant moves. A server receives the location of the merchant, and compares that location to the location of a user, so as to determine whether the merchant is located within a first threshold distance or a second, smaller threshold distance from the location of the user. If the user is within the first threshold distance, the server presents a first point of sale (POS) interface to initiate an order from the merchant and present the user with an option to fulfill that order through delivery. If the merchant is located within the second, smaller threshold distance from the user, the server presents the user with a second POS interface that gives the user an option to fulfill the order through pickup instead of delivery.

Abstract

Provided are various mechanisms and processes for generating dynamic merchant similarity predictions. In one aspect, a system is configured for receiving historical datasets that include a series of merchants from historical browsing sessions generated by one or more users. The merchants are converted into corresponding vector representations for training a predictive model to output associated merchants based on a generated weighted vector space. Once sufficiently trained, data from a new browsing session may be received, which may include a target merchant. The target merchant is input into the predictive model as a vector to output one or more context merchants having vectors with the highest cosine similarity value to the target merchant vector. Selected context merchants may then be transmitted to the user device as targeted merchant suggestions in the new browsing session. The predictive models may be continuously trained using data received from subsequent browsing sessions.

Abstract

Techniques are provided for determining and updating locations in databases for providing to transport user devices to facilitate picking up (retrieving) an item and delivery. Location points (e.g., for retrieval or delivery) can be measured by transporter devices when an item is retrieved, and a central value can be determined from the measured location points. The central value can be used to update a pin location in a database for a destination, e.g., when more paths by the transport user devices cross a boundary (geofence) around then central value than a boundary around an existing pin location.

Possible routes for each pairing are generated and scored based on weighted factors. The scores are optimized to achieve a set of routes with a maximum score. The routes are then offered to the corresponding courier if the courier will arrive at or after the created order is completed by the merchant. A neural network may be implemented to recognize the optimal score for a given duration.

Abstract

In some examples, a computer system may receive an image and associated location information corresponding to a location at which the image was captured. The system may provide the image as input to a machine-learning model previously trained to determine whether the received image includes a threshold amount of information to indicate that received location information indicates a location corresponding to the received image. Based at least in part on an output of the machine-learning model indicating that the received image meets the threshold, the system may store the associated location information as mapping information associated with the location.
