Disclosed are systems and methods for unified content item ranking across multiple output channels that provide personalized content item recommendations while adapting to different output channel contexts. A machine learning model receives four sets of data for each candidate content item: user engagement history data, content item popularity data, content item information data, and contextual relevance data. The contextual relevance data includes both a query context associated with an output channel and a content relevance based on existing content. The model generates engagement scores for multiple types of engagement actions, which are then weighted according to output channel-specific parameters to produce final ranking scores. By using a single unified model that automatically adapts its scoring behavior based on the specific output channel, the system reduces engineering complexity while maintaining optimized recommendations across diverse output channels such as style-based recommendations, topic-based landing pages, and personalized shopping interfaces.

MULTI-OBJECT IMAGES AND COMPLEMENTARY OBJECT IMAGES RECOMMENDATION
Disclosed are systems and methods that connect an input image, such as an individual product image, to lifestyle images that include multiple products, and then to one or more complementary product images. For example, when a user provides or selects a product image, the disclosed implementations determine one or more lifestyle images of multiple products that include the product or include another, visually similar, product. Still further, the disclosed implementations may also determine, for each of the multiple products in the lifestyle image, a set of complementary product images that may work well together and with the product in the input image.

Disclosed are implementations that enable the linking or connection of objects and different scenes in which those objects are represented. For example, a corpus of scenes (e.g., digital images) that include a representation of one or more objects may be processed using the disclosed implementations to segment from those scenes the individual objects represented in those scenes. The disclosed implementations may further determine clusters of visually similar object segments and form object clusters for those object segments. The scenes that include those object segments are also linked to the object cluster. With scenes linked to different object clusters, a user may select one or more query objects or a query scene and be presented with other scenes that include visually similar objects, even though the overall scenes may be visually different.

Described is a system and method for enabling visual search for information. With each selection of a search term, additional search terms are dynamically selected and presented to the user in conjunction with results matching the currently selected search terms. Likewise, a selected search term may be tokenized and a graphical token presented to the user to represent the selected search term.
Described is a system and method for enabling dynamic selection of a search input. For example, rather than having a static search input box, the search input may be dynamically positioned such that it encompasses a portion of displayed information. For example, a user may touch a touch-based display using two fingers to invoke the dynamic search input and then determine a size and a position of the dynamic search input by moving their fingers on the display. An image segment that includes a representation of the encompassed portion of the displayed information is generated and processed to determine an object represented in the portion of the displayed information. Additional images with visually similar representations of objects are then determined and presented to the user.

END-TO-END TRAINED GENERATIVE SLATE RECOMMENDATION MODEL
Described is an end-to-end generative recommendation model configured to determine a slate of content items to present to a user and the training thereof. The slate recommendation model may employ a generative model (e.g., generative transformer-based model, etc.) that is trained employing a multi-stage training approach. First, a generative model may be trained to learn a sequence model configured to generate a sequence of content items. The trained model may then be fine-tuned to better learn a distribution of slate recommendations. After fine-tuning of the model, a reward model may be trained based on one or more objectives. The reward model may be employed using a reinforcement learning technique or direct preference optimization technique to further fine-tune the model to bias the slate recommendations in view of the one or more objectives.
Described are systems and methods that suggest candidate recipients to receive an object identifier from a first user. For example, a first user, independent of a conversation with a second user, may select, close-up, or otherwise view an object identifier. The system, upon detecting the interaction with the object identifier by the first user, may determine one or more second users to suggest to the first user as candidate recipients with which the first user can share the viewed object identifier. The systems and methods may also suggest object identifiers to share with a selected recipient and/or determine two or more users that have a common connection and share an object identifier related to the connection with each of those users.

SYSTEM AND METHODS TO RECOMMEND ITEMS THAT INCREASE LONG-TERM USER SATISFACTION
Described are systems and methods that resolve the shortcomings of existing recommendation systems that focus on immediate user reward rather than long-term user satisfaction. The disclosed implementations increase user session duration and user session depth during a session by selecting items that incent the user to remain engaged and participating in the session, rather than optimizing for immediate user metrics.
Systems and methods for automatically placing a taxonomy candidate within an existing taxonomy are presented. More particularly, a neural taxonomy expander (a neural network model) is trained according to the existing, curated taxonomic hierarchy. Moreover, for each node in the taxonomic hierarchy, an embedding vector is generated. A taxonomy candidate is received, where the candidate is to be placed within the existing taxonomy. An embedding vector is generated for the candidate and projected by a projection function of the neural taxonomy expander into the taxonomic hyperspace. A set of closest neighbors to the projected embedding vector of the taxonomy candidate is identified and the closest neighbor of the set is assumed as the parent for the taxonomy candidate. The taxonomy candidate is added to the existing taxonomic hierarchy as a child to the identified parent node.
A user preference hierarchy is determined from user response to images. Images may be tagged using machine learning models trained to determine values for images. Products are clustered according to product vectors. Images of products within a cluster are clustered according to composition and groups of images are selected from image clusters for soliciting feedback regarding user preference for products of a cluster. Feedback is used to train a user preference model to estimate affinity for a product vector. A user may provide feedback regarding a price point and products are weighted according to a distribution about the price point. The distribution may be asymmetrical according to direction of movement of the price point. Filters may be dynamically defined and presented to a user based on popularity and frequency of occurrence of attribute-value pairs of search results and based on feedback regarding the search results.
Systems and method for determining a topic cohesion measurement between a content item and a hyperlinked landing page are presented. In one embodiment, a plurality of content item signals is generated for the content item and a corresponding plurality of signals are generated for the hyperlinked landing page. An analysis of the corresponding signals is conducted to determine a measurement of topic cohesion, a topic cohesion score, between the content item and the hyperlinked landing page. A cohesion predictor model is trained to generate the predictive topic cohesion score between an input content item and a hyperlinked landing page. Upon a determination that the topic cohesion score is less than a predetermined threshold, remedial actions are taken regarding the hyperlink of the content item. Alternatively, positive actions may be carried out, including promoting the content item to others, associating advertisements with the content item, and the like.
Systems and methods for automatically placing a taxonomy candidate within an existing taxonomy are presented. More particularly, a neural taxonomy expander (a neural network model) is trained according to the existing, curated taxonomic hierarchy.

An embedding vector is generated for the candidate and projected by a projection function of the neural taxonomy expander into the taxonomic hyperspace. A set of closest neighbors to the projected embedding vector of the taxonomy candidate is identified and the closest neighbor of the set is assumed as the parent for the taxonomy candidate. The taxonomy candidate is added to the existing taxonomic hierarchy as a child to the identified parent node.
Described are systems and methods for implementing a recommendation system that is configured and/or optimized to determine recommended content items based on a long-term objective. The exemplary recommendation system may be generated based on a mapping between content items and the long-term objective. The mapping between the content items and the long-term objective may be determined based on mappings utilizing various interim metrics, which may be determined using trained models configured to predict a respective target variable based on respective inputs. The mapping may also be generated using alignment scores and/or a large language model.
Disclosed are systems and methods that process a selection of a plurality of content items through a Large Language Model (“LLM”) and determine, based on that processing, other content items to present or recommend. For example, one or more non-text content item may be processed to generate one or more captions descriptive of the non-text content item(s). The captions may then be processed by a LLM to determine a narrative description of the content items and the narrative description may be used as a text-based query to determine recommended content items.

In response to receiving an input query, an input query embedding vector is generated that projects into an input query embedding space. The input query embedding vector is processed by the mapping model to map the input query embedding vector into one or more elements of a destination embedding vector in a destination embedding space, resulting in a partial destination embedding vector. Items of a corpus of content are projected into the destination embedding space and the partial destination embedding vector is also projected into the destination embedding space. A similarity measure determines the most-similar items to the partial destination embedding vector and at least some of the most-similar items are returned in response to the input query.

A computer system extracts product data from a website and correlates product records from multiple sources to one another as corresponding to the same product. A website is crawled efficiently by rendering webpages using a virtual browser that ignores blacklisted elements, extracts data from objects without rendering, and suppressing retrieval of remote resources. Data is extracted according to engine control statements including a selector and extractor. A website may be crawled repeatedly and changes in extracted data may be detected and flagged. Engine control statements may be automatically changed in response to detecting a change in the configuration of the website. Images of product records may be correlated with one another by first comparing text of the product records and selecting images for comparison based on composition. Images are compared using a machine learning model. Images determined to be similar may be presented to a human for a correlation decision.

Matching user provided representations of items with sellers of those items
This disclosure describes systems and methods for matching user provided images that include representations of items with sellers of those items. A management service, as described herein, may provide a web site where users can post images, view images, share images, correspond with other users, etc. The management service may identify items represented in the images and determine one or more sellers that offer those items for sale. When another user requests to view the user provided image, the image, seller information identifying the seller determined to sell the item represented in the image, and/or a purchase control that may be selected by a user to initiate a purchase with the seller is presented.
Systems and methods for responding to a subscriber's text-based request for content items are presented. In response to a request from a subscriber, word pieces are generated from the text-based terms of the request. A request embedding vector of the word pieces is obtained from a trained machine learning model. Using the request embedding vector, a set of content items, from a corpus of content items, is identified. At least some content items of the set of content items are returned to the subscriber in response to the text-based request for content items.
