Publication number: 20240281837Abstract: Techniques and embodiments described herein include a scalable system for integrating panel-based research with user experience (UX) testing tools, such as online survey applications. The techniques provide for the parallelization of a single request across multiple panel providers. The parallelization across multiple panel providers may occur transparently to users, including the designers of UX testing tools and methodologies, without requiring any complex modifications of the underlying source code. The parallelization may further significantly reduce request processing speeds within the system. Additionally or alternatively, the techniques provide for runtime adjustments of configurations to adjust rates at which respondents with varying attributes are fielded. As a result, qualified UX test respondents may be fielded much more quickly, increasing system scalability by allowing the system to process more requests within a given timeframe.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2023Publication date: August 22, 2024Applicant: Wevo, Inc.Inventors: Jon Andrews, Charlie Hoang, Dustin Garvey, Frank Chiang, Hannah Sieber, Keith Horvath, Mary McMurray, Nitzan Shaer, Shannon Walsh

Patent number: 11972442Abstract: Techniques and embodiments are described herein for detecting and mitigating fraudulent activity within user experience (UX) test applications. In some embodiments, a system applies a set of rules and/or machine learning (ML) models to each respondent of an online survey or UX test. Different ML models may be trained to learn domain-specific patterns indicative of fraudulent activity. The system may then select the ML models based on attributes of the UX test and/or respondent. The selected rules and/or ML models may generate a probabilistic score representing a likelihood that the respondent is currently engaging in or will engage in fraudulent activity with respect to a UX test. If the score exceeds a threshold, then the system may take action to mitigate the fraudulent activity, such as triggering the removal of the user from an accepted respondent pool, halting further engagement between the respondent and the UX test, and generating alerts.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2023Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Wevo, Inc.Inventors: Dustin Garvey, Shannon Walsh, Frank Chiang, Janet Muto, Nitzan Shaer, Hannah Sieber, Charlie Hoang, Alexa Stewart, Keith Horvath, Marshall McCready, Laurie Delaney, Jon Andrews
