• Abstract: Different from shopping in physical stores, where people have the opportunity to closely check a product (e.g., touching the surface of a T-shirt or smelling the scent of perfume) before making a purchase decision, online shoppers rely greatly on the uploaded product images to make any purchase decision. The decision-making is challenging when selling or purchasing second-hand items online since estimating the items' prices is not trivial. In this work, we present a vision-based price suggestion system for the online second-hand item shopping platform. The goal of vision-based price suggestion is to help sellers set effective prices for their second-hand listings with the images uploaded to the online platforms. First, we propose to better extract representative visual features from the images with the aid of some other image-based item information (e.g., category, brand). Then, we design a vision-based price suggestion module which takes the extracted visual features along with some statistical item features from the shopping platform as the inputs to determine whether an uploaded item image is qualified for price suggestion by a binary classification model, and provide price suggestions for items with qualified images by a regression model. According to two demands from the platform, two different objective functions are proposed to jointly optimize the classification model and the regression model. For better model training, we also propose a warm-up training strategy for the joint optimization. Extensive experiments on a large real-world dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of our vision-based price prediction system.

  We address the problem of dynamically pricing complementary items that are sequentially displayed to customers. Coherent pricing policies for complementary items are essential because optimizing the pricing of each item individually is ineffective. We empirically evaluate our approach using synthetic settings randomly generated from real-world data, and compare its performance in terms of constraints violation and regret.

Unlike the existing fixed pricing mode, the PBT pricing mechanism we propose is more flexible and diverse, which is more in accord with the transaction needs of real-world scenarios.

Our results reveal that the display prices do affect the design of ad auctions and the platform can leverage such information to optimize the performance of ad delivery.

  We propose a Human Pose Detection based unsupervised method to scan the image set of a product for the missing ones. The unsupervised approach suggests a fair approach to sellers based on product and category irrespective of any biases. We surveyed 200 products manually, a large fraction of which had at least 1 repeated image or missing variant, and sampled 3K products(20K images) of which a significant proportion had scope for adding many image variants.

We demonstrate that PreSizE is capable of achieving superior prediction performance compared to previous state-of-the-art baselines. As a proof of concept, we demonstrate that size predictions made by PreSizE can be effectively integrated into an existing production recommender system.
