Patent number: 11941067Abstract: Disclosed herein are various embodiments, for a content display and clustering system. An example embodiment operates by receiving a request to display the plurality of content items. At each of multiple levels different pairs of content items are identified and a similarity score is computed for each pair. A subset of pairs for which their similarity score exceeds a similarity threshold for the respective level are identified and clustered. This process is repeated for one or more iterations at the same level, and then the process is repeated for each of the multiple levels. A final clustered subset is identified, and output for display, responsive to the request to display the plurality of content items.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Roku, Inc.Inventors: Fei Xiao, Ronica Jethwa, Zidong Wang, Jing Lu, Jing Ye, Nam Vo, Jose Sanchez, Abhishek Bambha, Khaldun Aidarabsah

Publication number: 20240064354Abstract: Disclosed are mechanisms for selecting a recommended item for a current item being viewed by a user account based on a view history of the user account with reduced bias. For a current item being viewed by the user account represented by a current node of a co-watch graph, embodiments can select a recommended item represented by an associated node in the co-watch graph likely being viewed by the user account, and determine a probability of the recommended item likely being viewed. The co-watch graph can be generated based on a view history of the user account. An edge between a first node and a second node of the co-watch graph can have a weight representing a number of co-occurrence times when the first item represented by the first node and the second item represented by the second node are viewed in sequence within a predetermined time interval.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2022Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: FEI XIAO, ZIDONG WANG, JOSE SANCHEZ, ABHISHEK BAMBHA, RONICA JETHWA

Patent number: 11720919Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for the determination of optimal communication scheduling. One method includes an operation for training a machine-learning program to generate a frequency model that determines a frequency for sending communications to users. The training utilizes training data defined by features related to user information and responses of users to previous communications to the users. The method further includes determining, by the frequency model and based on information about a first user, a first frequency for the first user. The first frequency identifies the number of communications to transmit to the first user per period of time. Further, the method includes operations for receiving a communication request to send one or more communications to the first user and determining send times for the one or more communications to the first user based on the first frequency. The communications are sent at the determined send times.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2020Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: Twilio Inc.Inventors: Claire Electra Longo, Brendon Kyle Villalobos, Liyuan Zhang, Jorge Chang, Elizabeth Yee, Abhishek Bambha

Patent number: 11625751Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for the determination of optimal communication scheduling. Send Time Optimization (STO) uses machine learning (ML) to recommend a personalized send time based on a recipient's past engagement patterns. The purpose of the ML model is to learn patterns in the data automatically and use the patterns to make personalized predictions for each recipient. The send time recommended by the model is the time at which the model believes the recipient will be most likely to engage with the message, such as clicking or opening, and use of the send time mode is expected to increase engagement from recipients. Additional customizations include communication-frequency optimization, communication-channel selection, and engagement-scoring model.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2020Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: Twilio Inc.Inventors: Claire Electra Longo, Brendon Kyle Villalobos, Liyuan Zhang, Jorge Chang, Elizabeth Yee, Abhishek Bambha
