  • Patent number: 11514068
    Abstract: A validation system and method are provided that examine data for use in tracking and/or generating an action plan. Data is received and stored at an implementation data store from production data sources. Evaluation rules are applied to the data by a data storage system. The evaluation rules are applied by running previously created scripts of commands of the data storage system. Applying the evaluation rules to the one or more sets of the data outputs a deviation measure for at least one of the sets of the data. The deviation measure and a restricted list of defined validation decisions is presented to an analyst for the data.

  • Patent number: 11455661
    Abstract: Systems and methods record tracking events during a presentation of supplementary content items to determine whether viewer(s) stopped watching the supplementary content item or watched the supplementary content item in its entirety. This determination may provide value to content publishers or (multi video programming distributors (MVPDs)) through preventing such supplementary content items from showing, whether in certain contexts, to certain viewers, and/or to certain audience segments. In some instances, the systems and methods may utilize machine-learning model(s) to determine which combinations of supplementary content items, contextual signals, viewers, and/or audience segments are likely to abandonment a supplementary content item. Preventing these combinations from showing, improves viewer experiences, permits MVPDs to effectively utilize opportunities for presenting supplementary content to viewers, in order to maximize revenue yield paid by supplementary content providers (e.g.

  • Patent number: 11450124
    Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods, trained through machine learning, score a sentiment expressed in a document. Individual sentences are scored and then overall document sentiment score is computed based on scores of individual sentences. Sentence scores can be computed with machine learning models. Digital matrix generator can generate N×M matrix for each sentence, where the matrix comprises vectors of word embeddings for the individual words of the sentence. A classifier computes a sentence sentiment score for each sentence based on the digital matrix for the sentence. Sentence sentiment scores computed by classifier can be adjusted based on a fuzzy matching of a phrase(s) in the sentence to key phrases in a lexicon that are labeled with a sentiment relevant to the context.

  • Patent number: 11449897
    Abstract: Protected audience selection system. Media consumption histories of browsers which have converted are received at a modeling system where targeting of browsers is prohibity. A model is built by determining a frequency of each respective media consumption event among the histories and comparing each determined frequency of a respective media consumption event to a frequency of the respective media consumption event among a population of browsers without the conversion event. The model is sent to a targeting system which excludes conversion events. A description of the conversion event is received at the targeting system. A history of a targetable browser is received at the targeting system. The model is applied to the history of the targetable browser at the targeting system, where conversion events have been excluded from the history. Advertising content is sent to the targetable browser according to a result of applying the model.
