Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for estimating impressions for a digital out of home (DOOH) advertising spaces (e.g., digital billboards and screens). A DOOH advertising system may determine the location of relevant DOOH advertising spaces and the location of certain consumers with known attributes and a known location. Based on this information the DOOH advertising system may estimate a number of impressions for a given DOOH advertising space and a given consumer segment associated with attributes of consumers within a certain distance from the DOOH advertising space. Using this information, the DOOH advertising spaces having the highest estimated impressions for a given consumer segment may be identified.

Abstract: Independent component analysis may be performed on a plurality of detected electronic signals to separate signals within the detected electronic signals that are contributed by different sources. Each of the plurality of detected electronic signals may be received from a separate detector and may correspond to a detected optical signal emanating from a pregnant mammal's abdomen and a fetus contained therein. The detected optical signals may correspond to light that is projected into the pregnant mammal's abdomen from a light source. The separated signals may be analyzed to determine a separated signal that corresponds to light incident upon the fetus, which may be analyzed to determine a fetal hemoglobin oxygen saturation level of the fetus. An indication of the fetal hemoglobin oxygen saturation level may then be provided to the user.

Abstract: A system for maintaining product networks to provide recommendations for bid amounts to third party entity devices. A service provider entity device tracks product purchase history for customers and determines relationships associated with products purchased by the customers. When a webpage is loaded by a customer device, a third party entity device receives a bid request from a publisher device and transmits a bid recommendation request to the service provider entity device. The service provider entity device determines input features including a base bid, a propensity score, and a pacing score based on the relationships. The service provider entity device transmits a bid recommendation response with a recommended bid amount to the third party entity device, based on the input features.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include monitoring, during a ride provided by an autonomous vehicle (AV), passenger communications between a passenger and a remote agent using an in-vehicle electronic device. The method may further include identifying passenger ride preferences based on a passenger request, and in association with a first occurrence of a ride event. The method may also include providing confirmation, via the in-vehicle electronic device, that the request is being fulfilled, the fulfillment of which causes a change in the passenger's AV experience based upon changes to features of the AV. The method may further include generating, based upon the request, a prediction of passenger ride preferences for the passenger and then, during a subsequent AV ride carrying the passenger, applying the predicted passenger ride preferences to an AV during a second occurrence of the ride event. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
