  • Patent number: 12229152
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating dynamic interfaces using explore-exploit models is disclosed. A first interface including a first set of content modules selected from a set of candidate content modules is generated and feedback data representative of one or more interactions with the first interface is received. The feedback data includes positive feedback and negative feedback. A set of weights for each content module is generated by a contextual explore-exploit model based on the feedback data. A request for a second interface including a context is received and a set of ranked content modules is selected for the context based on the weights of each of the content modules in the set of candidate content modules. A second interface including a second set of content modules is generated. The second set of content modules includes a predetermined number of top ranked content modules in the set of ranked content modules.

  • Patent number: 12154135
    Abstract: Systems and methods for content selection and presentation are disclosed. Training data including indicating one or more interactions with one or more content elements and associated with one of a plurality of individual contexts is received. A selection model is trained by applying a reinforcement learning mechanism and an individual explore-exploit mechanism. A context for a user is selected by applying the selection model, which is configured to determine an expected future reward value of at least one of the plurality of individual contexts, determine an expected future reward value of a global context based on a past click-through rate, a reward value, and a future click-through rate, and, select the global context or one of the one or more individual contexts based on a comparison of the expected future reward values.
