  • Patent number: 11853723
    Abstract: Application personalization techniques and systems are described that leverage an embedded machine learning module to preserve a user's privacy while still supporting rich personalization with improved accuracy and efficiency of use of computational resources over conventional techniques and systems. The machine learning module, for instance, may be embedded as part of an application to execute within a context of the application to learn user preferences to train a model using machine learning. This model is then used within the context of execution of the application to personalize the application, such as control access to digital content, make recommendations, control which items of digital marketing content are exposed to a user via the application, and so on.

  • Publication number: 20230013199
    Abstract: Techniques and systems are described to enable users to optimize a digital marketing content system by analyzing an effect of components of digital marketing content on audience segments, environments of consumption, and channels of consumption. A computing device of an analytics system receives user interaction data describing an effect of user interaction with multiple items of digital marketing content on achieving an action for multiple audience segments. The analytics system identifies which of a plurality of components are included in respective items of digital marketing content. The analytics system generates data identifying different aspects that likely had an effect on the achieving an action on the items of digital marketing content, such as components of the items of digital marketing content, environments of consumption, channels of consumption. The analytics system outputs a result based on the data in a user interface.

  • Patent number: 10943257
    Abstract: Techniques and systems are described for analyzing components of digital content. A computing device of an analytics system receives user interaction data that describes an effect of user interaction with a plurality of items of digital content on achieving an action. The analytics system identifies which of a plurality of components are included in respective items of digital content. The analytics system then generates outcome data describing a likely effect of the plurality of components on achieving the action based on association with respective items of digital content. Additionally, the analytics system generates a recommendation to configure a subsequent item of digital content based on the outcome data. The recommendation is based on the likely effect of the different ones of the plurality of components, to generate more effective digital content.

  • Publication number: 20190095949
    Abstract: Techniques and system are described to control output of digital marketing content with respect to digital content. This is achieved by leveraging additional insight that may be gained from external service systems that describe the digital content, e.g., social network systems, digital content review systems, and so forth. In one example, the techniques and systems are configured to collect social network data that describes social network communications communicated via a social network system. Natural language processing techniques are then performed as part of machine learning to detect interest of a user population associated with the social network communications.

  • Publication number: 20180234796
    Abstract: A digital medium environment is described to control provision of digital content within a physical environment to a mobile device associated with a user. User identification data and position data are received. The position data describes a physical location at which the mobile device is disposed within the physical environment. A user profile is selected based on the user identification data. The user profile describes user online interaction with digital content. Digital content is generated that is personalized based on the selected user profile and the position data. Output is then controlled of the generated digital content to the mobile device.
