  • Publication number: 20250392781
    Abstract: A method may include obtaining demographic data from multiple households in a cleanroom. The method may include obtaining viewership data associated with displayed content from one or more data sources in the cleanroom. The viewership data may be generated by at least a portion of the multiple households. The method may include generating demographic scores using the viewership data and the demographic data with respect to viewers in the multiple households. The method may include estimating a first count of the viewers and a second count of the viewers of the displayed content. The method may include determining an impression score using the demographic scores and the first count of the viewers. The method may include determining a reach score using the demographic scores and the second count of the viewers. The method may include providing the impression score and the reach score in the cleanroom to a requesting entity.

  • Publication number: 20250363522
    Abstract: A method may include obtaining a request from a user for an attribution report associated with an advertising campaign. The method may also include obtaining, by a cleanroom, first data from a first data source. The method may further include obtaining, by the cleanroom, second data from a second data source. The method may also include aggregating the first data and the second data in the cleanroom into aggregated data. The method may further include performing, within the cleanroom, a transformation on the aggregated data to obtain the attribution report. The method may also include providing the attribution report to the user.

  • Publication number: 20250337971
    Abstract: A system includes non-transitory computer-readable storage media configured to store instructions and processors communicatively coupled to the non-transitory computer-readable storage media. The processors may execute instructions, which may cause the system to perform operations. The operations may include obtaining first data associated with a person location, where the first data may be a subset of a collection of person location data. The operations may also include obtaining second data associated with one or more displays in a venue, where the second data may be a subset of a collection of display data. The operations may further include determining a first weight corresponding to the first data relative to the collection of person location data and a second weight corresponding to the second data relative to the collection of display data. The operations may also include obtaining an estimate of the viewership data using the first data and the second data.

  • Publication number: 20250315861
    Abstract: A method may include obtaining a target audience for an advertising campaign. The target audience may include one or more audience identifiers. The method may also include storing the one or more audience identifiers in a privacy protection environment. The method may further include matching the one or more audience identifiers to an identity graph associated with a targetable universe of consumers to obtain at least one advertising target. The method may also include directing at least one advertisement of the advertising campaign to be provided to the at least one advertising target. The method may further include obtaining impression results associated with the advertising campaign relative to the at least one advertising target.

  • Patent number: 12407497
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating min-increment counting bloom filters to determine count and frequency of device identifiers and attributes in a networking environment are disclosed. The system can maintain a set of data records including device identifiers and attributes associated with device in a network. The system can generate a vector comprising coordinates corresponding to counter registers. The system can identify hash functions to update a counting bloom filter. The system can hash the data records to extract index values pointing to a set of counter registers. The system can increment the positions in the min-increment counting bloom filter corresponding to the minimum values of the counter registers.

  • Patent number: 12158868
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for improved per-frequency counting systems that record interactions between individuals and a group of providers while maintaining differential privacy. A protocol may be defined that specifies frequency bins to categorize identifiers corresponding to individuals. A provider may generate a plurality of private sketches, each corresponding to a plurality of frequencies defined in the protocol. Frequency data is determined for each identifier. Identifiers are encoded into the private sketches corresponding to the identifiers' associated frequency. The plurality of private sketches from each provider in the group of providers are combined to generate a deduplicated distribution across the group. In one implementation, the private sketches of each provider are sequentially merged until all sketches have been combined, from which the total distribution can be estimated.

  • Patent number: 11017099
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for entropy balanced population measurement. Entropy balancing is a statistical technique for preprocessing data to achieve covariate balance. Weighting coefficients may be dynamically adjusted to satisfy balance conditions or constraints to adjust for inequalities in representation, thereby improving covariate moments. Using entropy balancing and linear regression analysis with panel content exposure and results data provides a mechanism to estimate the effects of multiple exposure vectors simultaneously, including instances where panelists are exposed to a vector multiple times. Data may be obfuscated or anonymized for preprocessing via a double-encrypted intersection-based extraction mechanism, allowing both measurement systems and panel providers to retain confidential information.

  • Patent number: 10282357
    Abstract: Methods and systems of reducing computer resource utilization to update rankings based on dynamically generated content are described. The method includes identifying a ranking of content experience types of a list of content experience types. Each content experience type including parameters to generate content experience documents. The method also includes updating the ranking of content experience types. The updating includes iteratively selecting content experience types from the ranking of content experience types to generate an update subset of the ranking of content experience types, generating, for a client device, a feedback request document including a plurality of content experience documents, and receiving feedback information related to the plurality of content experience documents included in the feedback request document to update the ranking of the content experience types included in the update subset.
