Abstract
Various embodiments described herein assist in identifying one or more product items of interest (e.g., high demand product items) based on surge activity, such as user buying surges, user selling surges, and user product listing (e.g., electronic or online listing) surges on an online marketplace system, and can further notify one or more users of selling opportunities of the identified products items of interest.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- identify, using a machine learning model, an item based on a surge activity associated with the item;
- determining a first set of user accounts associated with an interest to list the item;
- identifying a second set of user accounts, each account being associated with a current listing of the item;
- determining, using the machine learning model, a user segment associated with one or more attributes based on the second set of user accounts;
- determining a subset of the first set of user accounts based on the user segment;
- and
- causing display of a notification on one or more devices associated with the subset of the first set of user accounts, the notification indicating an opportunity to list the item for sale.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a computer-storage medium having instructions stored there on that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
- identify, using a machine learning model, an item based on a surge activity associated with the item;
- determining a first set of user accounts associated with an interest to list the item;
- identifying a second set of user accounts, each account being associated with a current listing of the item;
- determining, using the machine learning model, a user segment associated with one or more attributes based on the second set of user accounts;
- determining a subset of the first set of user accounts based on the user segment;
- and
- causing display of a notification on one or more devices associated with the subset of the first set of user accounts, the notification indicating an opportunity to list the item for sale.
A non-transitory computer-storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
- identify, using a machine learning model, an item based on a surge activity associated with the item;
- determining a first set of user accounts associated with an interest to list the item;
- identifying a second set of user accounts, each account being associated with a current listing of the item;
- determining, using the machine learning model, a user segment associated with one or more attributes based on the second set of user accounts;
- determining a subset of the first set of user accounts based on the user segment;
- and
- causing display of a notification on one or more devices associated with the subset of the first set of user accounts, the notification indicating an opportunity to list the item for sale.
