  • Patent number: 11972455
    Abstract: Systems, methods and media for adaptive real time modeling and scoring are provided. In one example, a system for automatically generating predictive scoring models comprises a trigger component to determine, based on a threshold or trigger, such as a detection of new significant relationships, whether a predictive scoring model is ready for a refresh or regeneration. An automated modeling sufficiency checker receives and transforms user-selectable system input data. The user-selectable system input data may comprise at least one of email, display or social media traffic. An adaptive modeling engine operably connected to the trigger component and modeling sufficiency checker is configured to monitor and identify a change in the input data and, based on an identified change in the input data, automatically refresh or regenerate the scoring model for calculating new lead scores. A refreshed or regenerated predictive scoring model is output.

  • Patent number: 11909701
    Abstract: Dynamic content can be delivered via email. Email messages include HTML content with one or more hyperlinks referring to a network-connected dynamic content server. The hyperlinks are accessed upon rendering of the email on a client device, triggering a request to a dynamic content server. The dynamic content server determines a content item to be served in response to the request. The dynamic content item determination may be based on factors including the identity of the requester, the email communication in which the hyperlink is embedded, recent activities or behavior on the part of the requester, and/or known preference or demographic information associated with the requester. The request can be directed to a selected content item stored within a content delivery network, for transmission back to the requester and display to the user within the email.

  • Patent number: 11887160
    Abstract: The subject technology provides a targeted content curation and placement optimization system comprising a processor connected to a publication network, the publication network navigated by an online consumer seeking actionable content. An online demand side portal is accessible, via the publication network, to a content provider. An online supply side portal is accessible, via the network, to a publisher of content on the publication network. An integrated bidding exchange is communicatively coupled to the demand side portal and the supply side portal and presents user interfaces enabling receipt of bids from the content provider for placement of content by the publisher at a specified location or domain on the publication network. A geographic insights generator may generate geo-specific intender attributes that may be used to curate the targeted content and optimize one or more bidding parameters of the content provider.

  • Patent number: 11798041
    Abstract: An ad collision machine can be configured to evaluate collision queries for possible ad collisions and is associated with an ad datacenter configured to evaluate and respond to bid requests on behalf of a plurality of advertisers. The ad collision machine can comprise a plurality of nodes and a data cache containing a plurality of user ID—campaign ID keys representing recently submitted bids in response to bid requests. Once a selected node receives a collision query, a user ID—campaign ID key is retrieved from the collision query. If the first key is not found in the data cache, it is written to the data cache by the node and the ad collision machine returns that user ID—campaign ID pair as available to be bid on.
