Abstract

Systems and methods are directed to automatic listing generation and inventory management based on machine-learning analysis. The system trains a time series-based machine learning (ML) model that forecasts sales. During inference time, the system determines one or more potential categories for a user based on custom preferences and previous analytic queries of the user. High demand items in the one or more potential categories are then applied to the ML model, which outputs probabilities of predicted sales for the high demand items. The system then determines items having a potential inventory gap by cross-checking current inventory with items having a probability outputted by the ML model that satisfies a probability threshold. For each item that satisfies the probability threshold, competitor sales data, predicted sales data derived from the ML model, and editable fields displaying automatic listing thresholds that trigger the automatic generation of a corresponding listing are presented in a user interface.
