Pinterest uses deep learning to optimize e-commerce content distribution

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a deep-learning system for Pinterest to optimize the distribution of e-commerce content, aiming to show relevant shopping suggestions at the right time. The system uses causal inference to predict the uplift of triggering candidate generators, employing a multi-task model trained with robust pseudo-outcomes. This approach significantly reduced shopping triggers by up to 85% while maintaining key shopping session metrics and improving overall sessions and Pin saves, leading to substantial infrastructure cost savings.
