Patent number: 12073444Abstract: Embodiments provide a computer-executable method, computer system and non-transitory computer-readable medium for programmatically analyzing a consumer review. The method includes programmatically accessing, via a network device, one or more consumer reviews for a commercial entity or a commercial object. The method also includes executing a consumer review processing engine to programmatically identify an attribute descriptor in the one or more consumer reviews, and executing the consumer review processing engine to programmatically generate a sentiment score associated with the one or more consumer reviews. The method further includes storing, on a non-transitory computer-readable storage device, the attribute descriptor and the sentiment score in association with the commercial entity or the commercial object.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2020Date of Patent: August 27, 2024Assignee: Bytedance Inc.Inventors: Gaston L'Huillier, Francisco Jose Larrain, Hernan Enrique Arroyo Garcia, Juzheng Li, Daniel Langdon, Jonathan Esterhazy, Srinivasa Raghavan Vedanarayanan, Shawn Jeffery, Feras Karablieh, Bhupesh Bansal, Dor Levi, Amit Koren

Publication number: 20240144349Abstract: Embodiments provide computer apparatuses, computer systems and computer-executable methods for recommending a commercial item or entity to a consumer based on geographic zone data. The method includes receiving a first predetermined geographic zone, a first importance score associated with a consumer for the first predetermined geographic zone, and a second importance score associated with a commercial item or entity for the first predetermined geographic zone. The method also includes programmatically generating an overlap score based on the first and second importance scores, and programmatically generating a relevancy score based on the overlap score, the relevancy score indicating a probability that the commercial item or entity is of relevance to the consumer. The method further includes, based on the relevancy score, transmitting instructions to a computing device associated with the consumer to cause the computing device to render a representation of the commercial item or entity.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventor: Daniel LANGDON

Publication number: 20220382794Abstract: Embodiments provide an apparatus, method and computer program product for generating validated attribute descriptors related to natural language processing. Natural language processing is performed to determine a set of attribute descriptors associated with textual information. An attribute descriptor cleaning process is then performed with respect to the set of attribute descriptors to determine a subset of attribute descriptors. Each attribute descriptor of the subset of attribute descriptors is compared to an attribute descriptor record to identify one or more common attribute descriptors. Additionally, a validated list of attribute descriptors is generated by removing the one or more common attribute descriptors from the subset of attribute descriptors.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2022Publication date: December 1, 2022Inventors: Gaston L'Huillier, Jonathan Esterhazy, Dor Levi, Amit Koren, Daniel Langdon, Bhupesh Bansal, Feras Karablieh, Hernan Enrique Arroyo Garcia, Srinivasa Raghavan Vedanarayanan, Shawn Ryan Jeffery, Francisco Jose Larrain

Publication number: 20220284471Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods for providing promotions based on consumer interaction data are discussed herein. Some embodiments may include a system and/or apparatus including circuitry configured to provide electronic user interfaces (or impressions) of promotions to consumer devices and receive consumer interaction data indicating consumer interaction with the impressions. The system may be further configured to determine a selected promotion for providing in a subsequent impression based on the consumer interaction data. For example, the system may be configured to determine a promotion score of available promotion based on consumer interaction data indicating consumer responses to the available impressions. The promotion score may provide a rating by which available promotions may be selected and may be determined based on various criteria discussed herein to provide selected promotions to consumer devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2022Publication date: September 8, 2022Inventors: Daniel Langdon, Gaston L'Huillier
