Publication number: 20240152977Abstract: Virality cause determination includes receiving a plurality of historical feedback items. It further includes bucketing a first feedback item in the plurality of historical feedback items into a first partition of feedback items, and bucketing a second feedback item in the plurality of historical feedback items into a second partition of feedback items. The second partition of feedback items is a baseline partition of feedback items. It further includes determining a set of candidate patterns present in the first partition of feedback items. It further includes determining whether a candidate pattern in the set of candidate patterns is disproportionately associated with the first partition of feedback items relative to the baseline partition of feedback items.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2023Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Bradley William Null, Pranav Desai, Hsin-wei Tsao

Patent number: 11922470Abstract: Impact-based strength and weakness determination includes receiving a plurality of industry-wide feedback items, the industry-wide feedback items pertaining to a plurality of entities associated with an industry. It further includes, based at least in part on an evaluation of the plurality of industry-wide feedback items, generating an industry-wide reputation scoring model usable to determine an expected reputation score for a typical entity in the industry based at least in part on a combination of one or more reputation score components. Generating the industry-wide reputation scoring model comprises determining (1) a baseline reputation score, and (2) an expected impact of a reputation score component on reputation scoring for the typical entity in the industry.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Reputation.com, Inc.Inventors: Bradley William Null, Pranav Desai, Hsin-wei Tsao, Chun Fai Chau
