Patent number: 12182723Abstract: A method includes accessing web browsing history for a plurality of users, generating embedding vectors based on the web browsing history for websites, and selecting a model configured to receive embedding vectors and output probability of a conversion events. Further, the method includes calculating a probability of a conversion event for the various websites using the model, selecting a subset of websites from the various websites based on websites having associated probabilities greater that a predetermined probability threshold, and receiving an indication that an impression has been displayed to a user when the user visits a website from the subset of websites, obtaining a plurality of conversion rates, each conversion rate is determined for each website from the subset of websites based on a number of conversion events associated with the plurality of visitation events, and updating the model parameters of the model using the obtained plurality of conversion rates.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2023Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: Dstillery, Inc.Inventors: Jason Jerard Kaufman, Amelia Grieve White, Christopher Allen Jenness, Mark Alan Jung, Melinda Han Williams

Publication number: 20240378512Abstract: A computer-implemented method can facilitate delivery of targeted content to user devices in situations in which historic tracking data (e.g., cookie data) is generally unavailable and/or unreliable. A p-dimensional embedding of websites can be generated based on a group of user devices for whom tracking data is available. Conversion event data that indicates indicating whether that audience member performed a conversion action can be received. A machine learning model can be trained using the conversion event data and the positions of websites appearing in the conversion event data within the p-dimensional embedding to predict a likelihood of conversion and/or a type of content to provide given a position in the p-dimensional embedding. When an indication that a user device is accessing a website is received, a position of that website in the p-dimensional embedding can be determined and targeted content can be delivered to the user device.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2024Publication date: November 14, 2024Applicant: Dstillery, Inc.Inventors: Amelia Grieve WHITE, Melinda Han WILLIAMS, Christopher Allen JENNESS, Jason Jerard KAUFMAN, Evan Bard HILLS, Mark Alan JUNG

Patent number: 11727313Abstract: Some embodiments described herein relate to a computer-implemented method that includes accessing behavioral data, such as web visitation data, of multiple users. A sparse behavioral vector can be defined for each user based on the behavioral data. Each element of each sparse behavioral vector can represent a different potential detectable behavior such that each sparse behavioral vector encodes the behavioral data for that user. Multiple supervised learning models to each sparse behavioral vector to densify the vectors, defining multiple dense behavioral vectors. An unsupervised machine learning technique can be applied to the dense behavioral vectors to cluster, or define subpopulations, based on similarities between the dense behavioral vectors. Delivery of targeted content to a user can be facilitated based on a dense behavioral vector associated with that user being associated with one or more of the clusters or subpopulations.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2019Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: Dstillery, Inc.Inventors: Melinda Han Williams, Reka Daniel-Weiner, Amelia Grieve White, Claudia Reisz

Patent number: 11128722Abstract: A system and method for analyzing media requests and evaluating the authenticity of geographic data associated with the media requests. A mobile device may use media requests to retrieve media items that are displayed to a user. A media request may include geographic data with latitude and longitude information and entity data identifying a user, application, mobile device, or combination thereof. The system may analyze the geographic data to identify locations and may analyze the entity information to identify user activity. The user activity may be internet activity of an application running on another device (e.g., user's desktop). The system may then correlate the user activity (e.g., accessing a venue web site) with the geographic locations (e.g., venue locations) to evaluate the authenticity of the geographic data associated with the mobile requests.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2018Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: Dstillery, Inc.Inventors: Melinda Han Williams, Ori M.

Publication number: 20200186883Abstract: Some embodiments described herein relate to a method that includes surveying and/or passively monitoring content consumption by mobile communication devices. Each signal received from a mobile communication device can be associated with a common location. For example, an out-of-home device positioned at the location can be operable to receive requests from mobile communication devices that represent requests to access network locations. An audience profile for that common location can be defined based on a network location that is identified as being statistically overrepresented. Content targeted to the audience profile at the common location can then be provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2019Publication date: June 11, 2020Applicant: Dstillery, Inc.Inventors: Ori M.
