  • Patent number: 11756058
    Abstract: Determination of high value customer journey sequences is performed by determining customer interactions that are most frequent as length N=1 sub-sequences, recursively determining most frequent length N+1 sub-sequences that start with the length N sub-sequences, determining a first count indicating how often one of the sub-sequences appears in the sequences, determining a second count indicating how often the one sub-sequence resulted in the goal, and using the counts to determine the most or least effective sub-sequences for achieving the goal.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 6, 2020
    Date of Patent: September 12, 2023
    Assignee: ADOBE INC.
    Inventors: Ritwik Sinha, Fan Du, Sunav Choudhary, Sanket Mehta, Harvineet Singh, Said Kobeissi, William Brandon George, Chris Challis, Prithvi Bhutani, John Bates, Ivan Andrus

  • Patent number: 11095544
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for determining latent components of a metrics time series and identifying anomalous data within the metrics time series based on one or both of spikes/dips and level changes from the latent components satisfying significance thresholds. To identify such latent components, in some cases, the disclosed systems account for a range of value types by intelligently subjecting real values to a latent-component constraint for decomposing the time series and intelligently excluding non-real values from the latent-component constraint. The disclosed systems can further identify significant anomalous data values from latent components of the metrics time series by jointly determining whether one or both of a subseries of a spike-component series and a level change from a level-component series satisfy significance thresholds.

  • Publication number: 20210224857
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for generating lookalike segments corresponding to a target segment using decision trees and providing a graphical user interface comprising nodes representing such lookalike segments. Upon receiving an indication of a target segment, for instance, the disclosed systems can generate a lookalike segment from a set of users by partitioning the set of users according to one or more dimensions based on probabilities of subsets of users matching the target segment. By partitioning subsets of users within a node tree, the disclosed systems can identify different subsets of users partitioned according to different dimensions from the set of users. The disclosed systems can further provide a node tree interface comprising a node for the set of users and nodes for subsets of users within one or more lookalike segments.

  • Patent number: 10992972
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for detecting impermissible account sharing among user accounts of a streaming media service including the steps of determining a plurality of locations accessed by a given user account of the user accounts; determining a device access count for each of the locations, the device access count indicating how many times the corresponding location was accessed by at least one device associated with the given user account; identifying one of the locations having the highest device access count as a base location; calculating a risk coefficient for each remaining location; generating a sharing score for the given user account by summing the risk coefficients; and determining impermissible account sharing of the given user account has occurred when the sharing score exceeds a threshold.
