Abstract:

One variation of a method for tracking placement of products in a store includes: accessing an image recorded by a mobile robotic system within a store; detecting a shelf in a region of the image; based on an address of the shelf, retrieving a list of products assigned to the shelf by a planogram of the store; retrieving a set of template images—from a database of template images—defining visual features of products specified in the list of products; extracting a set of features from the region of the image; determining that a unit of the product is mis-stocked on the shelf in response to deviation between the set of features and features in a template image, in the set of template images, representing the product; and in response to determining that the unit of the product is mis-stocked on the shelf, generating a restocking prompt for the product.

International Classification:

H04N 21/475
H04N 21/466
H04N 21/478

Abstract:

The recommendation system provided with an on-line connection system identifies on-line recommendations of videos and generates a user interface (UI) by including into the resulting presentation selected recommendations of videos. The recommendations of videos presented in the UI are organized into groups that are topically coherent, where each group is decorated with a context annotation—an explanation of why the recommendations in a given carousel are relevant for a member. Each video that is being evaluated by the recommendation system with respect to a subject member profile is assigned an annotation that is selected from a plurality of potentially applicable annotations. The technical problem of optimizing an order of presentation of recommendations grouped by context annotations, in a UI where annotations drive the layout, is addressed by deriving ranks for different context annotations based on global and personalized click through rates and using these values assigned to respective context annotations in constructing the UI.

Abstract:

A system, a machine-readable storage medium storing instructions, and a computer-implemented method are directed to a Digest Engine that identifies a feature(s) that is predictive of relevance, to a target member account in a professional social network, of content from a member group(s) to which the target member account is subscribed. Based on the feature(s), the Digest Engine determines a portion(s) of relevant content created amongst respective member accounts subscribed to the member group(s). The Digest Engine generates a persistent message providing access to the portion(s) of relevant content. The Digest Engine sends the persistent message to the target member account.
