Patent number: 12619487Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for classifier validation are provided. A set of in-sample examples are partitioned into a reduced in-sample set and a remaining in-sample set. The reduced in-sample set is processed using a set of classifiers. A subset of classifiers are identified as having error counts, over the reduced in-sample set, below a threshold number of errors. A training procedure is executed to select a classifier having a minimum error rate over the set of in-sample examples. If the classifier is within the subset of classifiers, then an out-of-sample error bound is determined for the classifier.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2022Date of Patent: May 5, 2026Assignee: Yahoo Assets LLCInventors: Eric Theodore Bax, Natalie Bax

Patent number: 12175387Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for content item selection for goal achievement are provided herein. A goal of a user is identified. A model is utilized to evaluate the goal, user information, and a set of content items to generate predictions for the content items of how likely each content item will be a causation factor of the user making progress towards the goal in response to the user being provided with each content item. A target content item is selected from the set of content items based upon the target content item having a predicted likelihood of being the causation factor above a threshold. The target content item is provided through a registered media channel accessible through a device of the user.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2019Date of Patent: December 24, 2024Assignee: Yahoo Assets LLCInventors: Eric Theodore Bax, Kimberly Williams, Lisa Giaffo, Nikki Mia Williams, John Donald, Melissa Susan Gerber, Tanisha Sharma

Patent number: 11568434Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for executing feedback actions based upon vehicle practices are provided. For example, sensor data is collected from sensors configured to collect sensor data associated with vehicles. The sensor data is synthesized to attribute sensor data to vehicle motion of the vehicle in relation to other objects. The vehicle motion is synthesized to determine driving actions of the vehicle, such as switching lanes, making a left hand turn, running a red light, etc. Vehicle practices of the vehicle are defined based upon the driving actions, such as a vehicle practice of a driver running red lights. A feedback action is executed to either reward the vehicle practices or incentivize a change in the vehicle practices.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2018Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Eric Theodore Bax, Kimberly Williams, Lisa Giaffo, John Donald, Teppo Veikko Salonen

Patent number: 11243669Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for transmitting response content items to devices are presented. For example, a graphical user interface may be controlled to display an interface. The targeting interface may comprise a selectable input. The selectable input may correspond to a content item. A request for a targeted response to the content item may be received via the interface. The request may comprise a response content item and a selection of the selectable input. A plurality of assignments of the content item to a plurality of users may be determined. The response content item may be transmitted to a plurality of devices. Each device of the plurality of devices may be associated with a user of the plurality of users.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2018Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: VERIZON MEDIA INC.Inventors: Eric Theodore Bax, Kimberly Williams, Lisa Giaffo, John Donald, Teppo Veikko Salonen

Patent number: 11184575Abstract: One or more devices, systems, and/or methods for presenting real-time videos of views that are obstructed are provided. For example, a first video may be received from a first camera. The first video comprises a real-time representation of a view opposing a first side of an obstruction. The first video is processed using a set of video parameters to generate a second video. The second video is transmitted to a display device. The second video is displayed on a display area positioned on a second side of the obstruction. A third video, comprising a real-time representation of the display area, is received. The set of video parameters are modified to generate a modified set of video parameters, based upon a comparison of the third video with the first video.
