USING TRAINED MACHINE-LEARNING MODEL TO DETECT ERRORS BASED ON INTERACTIONS OF USERS OF AN ONLINE SYSTEM WITH PHYSICAL DEVICES

Abstract

An online system uses a trained machine-learning model to detect errors in catalog data based on interactions of users of the online system with physical carts. Upon receiving an interaction signal indicating an interaction by the user with a device in a location of a source or an action signal indicating an action in the location of the source, the online system applies the trained model to the interaction signal and/or the action signal to generate an error score for an item that indicates a likelihood of an error in relation to the item. Responsive to the error score being above a threshold score, the online system generates an error checking signal for confirming that the error is present. Responsive to the confirmation of the error, the online system generates a user interface that alerts about the error and requests an action to correct the error.
