To determine dissimilarities the network system can determine a suggested route, determine a predicted route, receive executed trace data, and compare the predicted route data to the executed trace data for the suggested route. The network system may aggregate trace data when determining a dissimilarity. The network system can quantify the differences between traces to determine dissimilarities. Quantifications can include, ratios, bounds, and scores. The network system can determine and alternate route if a dissimilarity indicates that the state of a road segment has changed (e.g., from “open” to “closed”). The network system can modify guidance instructions if a dissimilarity indicates that a guidance instruction is misleading.
A network system provides interventions to providers to reduce the likelihood that its users will experience safety incidents. The providers provide service to the users such as transportation. Providers who are safe and have positive interpersonal behavior may be perceived by users as high quality providers. However, other providers may be more prone to cause safety incidents. A machine learning model is trained using features derived from service received by users of the network system. Randomized experiments and trained models predict the effectiveness of various interventions on a provider based on characteristics of the provider and the feedback received for the provider. As interventions are sent to providers, the change in feedback can indicate whether the intervention was effective. By providing messages proactively, the network system may prevent future safety incidents from occurring.

NETWORK COMPUTER SYSTEM TO POSITION TRANSPORT PROVIDERS USING PROVISIONING LEVEL DETERMINATIONS
A computer system operates to receive transport service requests from computing devices of requesters within a geographic region. The system matches each transport service request with an available transport provider operating a service vehicle within the geographic region, and determines a location bias for a first transport provider that operates a corresponding vehicle within the geographic region, the location bias being associated with a preferred location of the first transport provider. The system may then match the first transport provider to a transport service request based on (i) the location bias of the first transport provider, and (ii) a destination of the transport service request which, upon fulfilling the transport service request, results in the first transport provider being positioned to arrive at the preferred location within a future time interval.
A method and system for filtering service requests by destination and deadline are described. A network computer system receives provider data corresponding to a specified destination and a deadline from a service provider. The network computer system tracks a current location of the service provider through a device equipped with one or more location-based resources and receives request data corresponding to requests for service from users. The network computer system analyzes the request data for each of the requests for service to identify a subset of the requests that are assignable to the service provider based on whether the service provider is able to fulfill the request and travel to the desired destination before the deadline. The network computer system transmits a message to the service provider's device requesting that the service provider fulfill one of the requests for service from the identified subset.
A network system can receive a set of multi-user request data corresponding to a multi-user request for service for a set of users that includes a first user. The set of multi-user request data can indicate a common start location for the set of users and identification information for at least the first user of the set of users. In response to receiving the set of multi-user request data from the requesting user device, the system transmits a first set of data to a first user device of the first user to cause the first user device to prompt the first user to input a destination location for the first user. The system then identifies a set of service providers to fulfill the multi-user request for service for the set of users.

Example embodiments are directed to systems and methods for providing pickup point assistance. In example embodiments, a network system uses data received from one or more sensors to detect a location of a user that is requesting a transportation service. The network system also tracks, a driver along a route to the pickup point. Based on the tracking, an estimated time of arrival (ETA) of the driver at the pickup point is determined. Using the location of the user and the ETA of the driver, the network system performs analysis to determine whether an issue exists that affects the rider arriving at the pickup point on time to meet the driver. Based on the analysis, a notification to the user regarding the issue is automatically presented, whereby the notification is displayed on a device of the user.

Indexing documents in a nested hierarchy of directories
An online storage system receives a plurality of documents to be stored in a directory. The storage system stores document data from each document in a document database. The storage system generates an entry for each document in an entry table and indexes the documents stored in the directory. The storage system samples a subset of the plurality of documents assigned to the directory in a directory index to determine a sampled subset of the plurality of documents. The storage system indexes the sampled subset in a directory index. The storage system can receive a request, from a client device, to view the indexed documents in the directory. Responsive to the request, the storage system presents the indexed documents in the directory retrieved from the directory index.
A network system can communicate with user and provider devices to facilitate the provision of a network-based service. The network system can identify optimal service providers to provide services requested by users. The network can utilize context data in matching service providers with users. In particular, the network system can determine, based on context data associated with a user, whether to perform pre-request matching for that user. A service provider who is pre-request matched with the user can be directed by the network system to relocate via a pre-request relocation direction. When the user submits the service request after the pre-request match, the network system can either automatically transmit an invitation to the pre-request matched service provider or can perform post-request matching to identify an optimal service provider for the user.
