How the pandemic readied Alibaba’s AI for the world’s biggest shopping day

The news: While the US has been hooked on its election, China has been shopping. From November 1 to 11, the country's top e-commerce giants, Alibaba and JD, generated $115 billion in sales as part of their annual Single’s Day shopping bonanza. Alibaba, who started the festival in 2009, accounted for $74.1 billion of those sales, a 26% increase on last year. For comparison, Amazon’s 48-hour Prime Day sales only crossed the $10-billion mark this year.

Broken models: In the initial weeks after the coronavirus outbreak, both companies saw their AI models behaving oddly. Because the pandemic struck during the Chinese New Year, hundreds of millions of people who would have otherwise been holiday shopping were instead buying lockdown necessities. The erratic behavior made it impossible to rely on historical data. “All of our forecasts were no longer accurate,” says Andrew Huang, general manager of the domestic supply chain at Cainiao, Alibaba’s logistics division.

People were also buying things for different reasons, which was flying in the face of the platforms’ product recommendations. For example, JD's algorithm assumed people who bought masks were sick and so recommended medicine, when it might have made more sense to recommend them hand sanitizer.
