  • Patent number: 9978362
    Abstract: A “Facet Recommender” creates conversational recommendations for facets of particular conversational topics, and optionally for things associated with those facets, from consumer reviews or other social media content. The Facet Recommender applies a machine-learned facet model and optional sentiment-model, to identify facets associated with spans or segments of the content and to determine neutral, positive, or negative consumer sentiment associated with those facets and, optionally, things associated with those facets. These facets are selected by the facet model from a list or set of manually defined or machine-learned facets for particular conversational topic types. The Facet Recommender then generates new conversational utterances (i.e., short neutral, positive or negative suggestions) about particular facets based on the sentiments associated with those facets. In various implementations, utterances are fit to one or more predefined conversational frameworks.

  • Publication number: 20180101863
    Abstract: Disclosed is an online system providing a fair measurement platform for people-based measurement of performance of an online campaign across different third-party systems that eliminates bias for certain third-party systems. The online system determines the measurable portion of the online campaign, where this is a portion of the campaign for which the online system knows the identities of the users and the online system knows that the impressions were viewable. The online system extrapolates with a model out from the measurable portion of the campaign to provide a broader measurement for the campaign including impressions for which identify coverage is incomplete and for which viewability is not available to provide a full, unbiased measurement for the online campaign across various third-party systems, regardless of whether they account for viewability, have identity coverage, or detect fraud.

  • Publication number: 20180097815
    Abstract: An online system maintains characteristics for its users and may access characteristics of users maintained by a third party system. The online system may select content for a user of the third party system based on characteristics maintained by the third party system. If the third party system does not maintain a characteristic for its users, the generates a model predicting the characteristic for third party system users based on a set of online system users identified based on characteristics of third party system users. The online system clusters third party system users based on the predicted characteristic for other third party system users connected to the third party system user. Using verified characteristics for third party system users from a trusted third party system, the online system determines an accuracy of the predicted characteristic for third party system users in a cluster.

  • Publication number: 20180060753
    Abstract: An online system obtains a set of resolved impressions based on historical data about multiple publishers. A set of features is then extracted, for each resolved impression, based on a comparison of historical data about the first publisher and the second publisher. The online system performs training of a machine-learned model based on the set of features. Data about a plurality of new impressions are input into the trained machine-learned model to obtain an output of the trained machine-learned model. A reach overlap metric and unique reach metric can be computed based on the output of the trained machine-learned model.

  • Publication number: 20180048722
    Abstract: An online system associates a user with a characteristic attribute of a geographic area in response to the user visiting the geographic area. The geographic area is identified based on visits by users of the online system, and attributes of entities associated with locations within the geographic area. A characteristic attribute is identified from the obtained attributes. A visit to the geographic area by a first user not associated with the characteristic attribute is identified. In response to identifying that the first user has visited the geographic area, the first user is associated with the characteristic profile attribute. Based at least in part on the association between the characteristic profile attribute and the first user, a content item is sent to a client device for presentation to the first user.
