Abstract: Methods and systems for correcting errors in transportation routes are provided. In one embodiment, a method is provided that includes receiving a transportation request that includes at least two locations. A first route prediction may be generated based on a first set of previously-completed routes associated with the at least two locations. A first predictive model may compare the first route prediction with route information associated with a second set of previously-completed routes identified based on the first route prediction. A second route prediction may be generated based on the comparison and may be sent to a mobile device for presentation to a user.

Abstract: This disclosure covers machine-learning methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems that generate a multiplier that efficiently and effectively provides on-demand transportation services for a geographic area. The methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems dynamically adjust the multiplier with machine learners to maintain a target estimated time of arrival for a provider device to fulfill a request received from a requestor device. In some embodiments, the methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems generate a multiplier report comprising a representation of a geographic area and an indication of the multiplier to facilitate inflow and outflow of provider devices within and without the geographic area.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a transportation matching system that utilizes a combination of an offline transportation optimization model and an online transportation optimization model to generate transportation metric functions for predicted and received transportation requests based on optimization parameters. The disclosed systems utilize an offline transportation optimization model to predict transportation requests and to generate corresponding transportation metric functions for given locations over particular time intervals. The disclosed systems further utilize an online transportation optimization model to receive transportation requests and generate transportation metric functions for the received requests based at least in part on the predicted transportation requests and corresponding metric functions.

Abstract: Techniques for communicating notifications to subscribers are described. An apparatus may comprise a channel component and a notification component. The channel component may be operative to receive an event from a social networking service to communicate to a subscriber of the social networking service and to determine one or more channels of a plurality of channels by which to communicate the event to the subscriber according to rankings associated with each channel, the rankings specific to the subscriber and determined according to subscriber history. The notification component may be operative to construct a notification based on the event and to transmit the notification to the subscriber using the determined one or more channels. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Techniques for determining and communicating presence are described. An apparatus may comprise a presence component and a display component. The presence component may be operative to determine whether a first user is present to receive short message service (SMS) messages on a mobile device. The display component may be operative to indicate to a second user whether the first user is present to receive SMS messages on the mobile device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Techniques for validating a delivery channel are described. An apparatus may comprise a validity component operative to query a database of device subscriber information for device information of a device associated with a delivery channel, to analyze the device information to determine whether the device is associated with a user, and to determine whether the delivery channel is valid for communication with the user based on whether the device is associated with the user. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
