  • Publication number: 20210089599
    Abstract: The present invention relates to improvements to systems and methods for filtering a data set. An audience filtering system is configured to perform operations that include accessing a database that comprises user profile data associated with a plurality of users, generating a bit-set based on the user profile data from the database, wherein the bit-set comprises an array of binary values, receiving a user input e.g., via a GUI) that defines one or more filter criteria (e.g., a value of a user attribute), filtering the bit-set based on the one or more filter criteria, and identifying a subset of the plurality of users based on the filtered bit-set, according to certain example embodiments.
