Abstract

A system includes a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computing instructions that, when executed, perform operations including tokenizing a query. Tokens are transformed into embeddings. The embeddings are passed through a classification layer, producing log its. A sigmoid function is applied to convert the log its into a probability vector for Part Terminology Identifiers (PTIDs) associated with one or more domains. The probability vector is filtered to retain PTIDs based on respective probabilities satisfying a threshold. A sum of the probabilities is a predetermined sum value. The PTIDs are ranked by their probabilities. Business logic is applied to the ranked PTIDs using a PTID Understanding Model to determine a final result output to a fitment service. The PTID Understanding Model is pretrained to trigger a fitment determination process and/or a query results filter process for the one or more domains when the final result is valid.

Abstract

Examples provide a multi-platform metadata sync and catalog permission granting system using a single shared cloud storage used by a plurality of linked cloud platforms. When new data is created and stored on the shared cloud storage or existing data is deleted or updated on the shared cloud storage, metadata associated with the storage location of the data and permission data associated with access control permissions is extracted from the source system creating the changes. The extracted metadata is migrated substantially in real time to all the other linked cloud platforms. A copy of the extracted metadata is stored by each linked cloud platform. Each linked cloud platform can access the same copy of data stored on the shared cloud storage. This eliminates redundant duplication of data on the linked cloud platforms to reduce system resource usage consumed by copying and storing data.

Abstract

Systems and methods for orienting boxes to ensure they are positioned right side up as they move along a conveyor utilize one or more rotation chambers that rotate the boxes in 90-degree increments. The location of the boxes in the rotation chambers and the rotation direction of the rotation chambers is selected to prevent tumbling of the boxes during the rotation. Sensors may detect the orientation of the boxes moving on the conveyors to determine the number of rotations necessary to reorient the box such that the box is oriented with the correct side up, and the conveyor may be caused to precisely align the box with appropriate corner of the rotation chamber. The system can include multiple rotation chambers in series, allowing for the boxes to be rotated 90, 180, or 270 degrees, and includes sensors to verify the orientation of the boxes prior to and after the rotation.

Abstract

Examples provide validation and visualization of data sources relied upon by a generative (GEN) artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning (ML) model when generating a response to a user query. The data sources are analyzed to determine whether each source is a valid source based on a degree of reliability of the source and relevance of the source to the query. A validation score and/or rank is generated for each source. An interactive user interface (UI) is generated which includes a query-response viewing pane for viewing the query and the response and an interactive source validation viewing pane for presenting the identified sources with the score and/or rank for each source. The interactive source validation pane can include summaries of the sources, links to relevant portions of the sources, collected sources data tables including selected portions of the sources, and text fields for user feedback used to retrain the model.

Abstract

Examples provide a traffic pattern recognition for accurate pixel-level travel time prediction. Historical travel-related data is obtained from vehicles traveling within various geographic regions that includes location data and speed data associated with each pixel in a plurality of pixels at a month, day, and hour level. A trained machine learning (ML) model predicts the speed of travel through each pixel at a weekday-hour-pixel (WHP) level. The ML model is trained using the historical travel-related data enabling the ML model to make accurate predictions of future travel times at the WHP level. The predicted speeds of travel are used to create a table of speed values for multiple pixel-timeslots associated with future dates. Each pixel-timeslot includes a predicted speed value for vehicles traveling through segments of each node on a given future data during a specific hour of the day enabling more accurate estimations of arrival time.

Abstract

Examples provide a system and method for predicting future wastage of perishable goods received at a distribution center based on shelf life of each type of perishable item and age of arrival (AoA) when received. The system implements a ML model to predict the wastage for a given item or batch of items based on item-specific data, supplier data, transit data, etc. The system estimates quantity of throws at a DC level and/or a store level to reduce future wastage and ensure quality of perishable items received at the DC and stores. The system generates anomalous shipment alerts after quality control inspections at user-configurable intervals enabling users to take action to mitigate wastage. The predictions are used to determine whether to recommend rejection of a shipment and return to a supplier or acceptance of the shipment with possible additional actions to mitigate the predicted future wastage.

Abstract

A quick-connect powered case holds an electrically-powered shelf module (e.g., electronic shelf label), and has a pair of power terminal arms and a connector inside that is coupled to the power terminal arms. The case may be quickly affixed to a shelf fixture that supports a product shelf and has electrically conducting brackets. The brackets provide supplied electrical power from conducting vertical shelf rails. When the power terminal arms contact the shelf brackets and the shelf module is plugged into the connector, electrical power flows from the shelf brackets, through the power terminal arms and connector, into the shelf module. For safety, the shelf fixture has an insulating cover over the shelf brackets, with openings that permit each of the power terminal arms to electrically couple with one of the shelf brackets. The power terminal arms are sufficiently thin that the product shelf lies flat on the shelf fixture.

Abstract

Examples provide a system for converting a paper-based list of items into a digital list with greater accuracy using generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) and historical data associated with items frequently purchased with a given geographical region. A text-based list of items is extracted from an image of a paper-based list of items using optical character recognition (OCR), optical marker recognition (OMR), and/or fuzzy matching. The list can include specific items and/or generic descriptions of item types. A machine learning (ML) model analyzes historical data for item purchasing trends and user-specific transaction data to identify the most commonly purchased specific items for each generic item type. A single predicted specific item mapped to each generic item type is used to populate a digital list representing the paper-based list with greater accuracy without user intervention. User feedback enables re-training of the ML model to further improve accuracy of the item recognition.

Abstract

Example implementations relate to output guardrails in automated systems. In an example, a user input from a user device is received by a first trained model and an initial output is generated in response to the first trained model receiving the user input from the user device. The initial output is compared to a set of target response elements, each of the target response elements include at least a portion of a machine generated utterance. A revised output is generated by applying a mitigation logic selected based on the at least one target response element and the revised output is transmitted to the user device when the output of the first trained machine learning model includes at least one target response element. The initial output is transmitted to the user device when the initial output does not include at least one target element.

Abstract

A method includes receiving candidate recommended items based on an item included in routine reorders of a user. For each candidate recommended item, dimension features for each dimension are embedded as embedding vectors. The dimensions include a user preference, a department affinity, a model suitability, and an item conversion potential dimension. The embedding vectors are combined into a feature vector input to a deep neural network (DNN) model to generate a ranking score representing a likelihood that the user engages with the candidate recommended item. Dimension-specific scores are obtained from intermediate layers of the DNN model including a user preference, a department affinity, a model suitability, and an item conversion potential score, which are output by a multilayer perceptron (MLP) network applied to respective embedding vectors. A final score is derived by incorporating the ranking score with respective weighted contributions. The candidate recommended items are ranked by the final scores.

Abstract

Examples provide image quality assessment using computer vision (CV) object detection and recognition with depth estimation. An image quality manager obtains image quality analysis data, including CV object recognition results and depth information for objects of interest. The image analysis data is analyzed to identify image quality issues present in the images. The type of image quality issues includes object detection type, depth type, and payload type issues, such as images with inconsistent distance from an object of interest, images in which the object of interest is either too close or too far away, images having excessive time gaps between images, payloads with too few images, payloads without object detections, etc. Image quality feedback identifying the type of image quality issues detected is generated and provided to users. The system uses image quality feedback to retrain the CV models. The feedback optionally includes suggested actions for resolving the detected issues.

Abstract

Example implementations relate to predicting fulfillment times for user requests. In an example, a user request including item data, a fulfillment location, and a provisional fulfillment time is received by a system. The system requests, via a fulfillment predictor, fulfillment data for the fulfillment location. The fulfillment data including at least a fulfillment order for the user request and ongoing fulfillment orders for the user request. The system, in response to receiving the fulfillment data, determines, by the fulfillment predictor, a predicted fulfillment time for the user request. The system determines whether a difference between the provisional fulfillment time and the predicted fulfillment time is within a fulfillment time threshold and, in accordance with a determination that the difference between the provisional fulfillment time and the predicted fulfillment time is outside the fulfillment time threshold, transmits the predicted fulfillment time to at least one computing device.
