Abstract: An online incentive network is optimized. Online incentive network data is accessed including data regarding sharing between users of the network from at least one database. Inputted parameters and network data are applied to one or more models for incentivized deal sharing to determine profitability of an incentivized sharing deal to offer to plurality of users via an online network for one or more products or services provided by a merchant. The incentivized sharing deal comprises a deal in which a user purchases a particular deal, and then when the user shares the particular deal with a threshold number of other users who also purchase the deal, the user receives an incentive. The parameters include a price of the deal; a proportion of the deal kept by the merchant or the online incentive network, and the number of incentivized users. An interface offers the incentivized sharing deal to users.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for training and using a deep neural network with adaptively trained off-ramps for an early exit at an intermediate representation layer. The training includes, for respective intermediate representation layers of a sequence of intermediate representation layers, predicting a label based on the training data and comparing against a correct label. The training further includes generating a confidence value associated with the predicted label. The confidence value is based on optimizing an objective function that includes a weighted entropy of a probability distribution of the likelihood, weighted based on whether previous intermediate representation layer has accurately predicted the label. Use of the weighted entropy provides the training with a focus on predicting labels that the previous intermediate representation layers has performed poorly and not labels that have existed before the intermediate representation layer being trained.
