  • Patent number: 11816696
    Abstract: Machine-learning based multi-step engagement strategy modification is described. Rather than rely heavily on human involvement to manage content delivery over the course of a campaign, the described learning-based engagement system modifies a multi-step engagement strategy, originally created by an engagement-system user, by leveraging machine-learning models. In particular, these leveraged machine-learning models are trained using data describing user interactions with delivered content as those interactions occur over the course of the campaign. Initially, the learning-based engagement system obtains a multi-step engagement strategy created by an engagement-system user. As the multi-step engagement strategy is deployed, the learning-based engagement system randomly adjusts aspects of the sequence of deliveries for some users.
