  • Publication number: 20250181965
    Abstract: A method including applying a propensity model to a subject vector to generate a propensity value estimating a probability that a subject will perform an action. The subject vector has a data structure having features storing information regarding the subject. The method also includes applying a Shapley additive explanation tool to the propensity model to generate a subset of the features that contributed to the propensity value more than a remaining set of the features. The method also includes selecting an actionable feature from the subset of the features. The actionable feature includes a feature in the subset that an entity is able to influence. The method also includes applying a correlation model to labels for training data and the actionable feature to generate an output that describes a reason why the subject performs the action. The method also includes presenting the actionable feature and the output.

  • Patent number: 11797891
    Abstract: The instant systems and methods are directed to a contextual bandits machine learning model configured to enable granular synchronized ecosystem personalization and optimization. The system and methods determine an objective and feed the objective and one more lifecycle model propensity scores as inputs to the contextual bandits machine learning model. The contextual bandits machine learning model then generates one or more potential weighted model rewards, wherein each potential weighted model reward includes at least a desired user action, a weight, a channel, and an expected change to the objective, and selects a weighted model reward that optimizes the objective. An action recommendation is subsequently transmitted to a user device based on the weighted model reward, wherein the action recommendation is presented in a selected channel associated with the weighted model reward. Feedback associated with the action recommendation is collected and used in training and fine-tuning of the model.
