  • Patent number: 10740802
    Abstract: Systems and methods to analyze a person's social media photos or videos, such as those posted on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. and determine properties of their social life. Using information on the number of people appearing in the photos or videos, their ages, and genders, this method can predict whether the person is in a romantic relationship, has a close family, is a group person, or is single. This information is valuable for generating audiovisual content recommendations as well as for advertisers, because it allows targeting personalized advertisements to the person posting the photos. The described methods may be performed (and the advertisements or other content may be selected for recommendation) substantially in real-time as the user accesses a specific online resource.

  • Patent number: 10453099
    Abstract: Example implementations include a system and method of recognizing behavior of a user. In example implementations, a first post and at least one subsequent post indicative of a product and associated with a first social media account is obtained. A relevance probability is calculated for each of the obtained first post and the at least one subsequent post. The obtained first post and the at least one subsequent post are sequentially analyzed by a second neural network to determine output values relevant to probability of purchasing the product. A probability of purchasing the product is calculated based on the determined output values associated with each post and the calculated relevance probabilities. Product-related information is transmitted to the user associated with the obtained first post based on the determined probability of purchasing the product.
