Abstract
An online system employs real-time and pre-generated images for recommendation. The system leverages generative machine-learning models, such as diffusion models, to generate images dynamically. The selection and creation of these images rely upon user data and session data, which are collected during a user's application session. These data are employed to generate a text prompt string, which directs the image generation process. For instances where real-time computation may be a resource constraint, the system utilizes pre-generated images linked to user-context clusters—data set groupings related to user characteristics and session context. This method enables the system to present tailored recommendations to the user, making use of both dynamic generation and pre-existing image resources, thereby optimizing the balance between customization, computational resources, and latency.
