  • Publication number: 20210377605
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture to correct misattributions of media impressions are disclosed. An example method includes obtaining first demographic-based impressions via a beacon transmitted in response to access to content by a first set of panelists, obtaining, from a database proprietor, second demographic-based impressions of the content on a second set of persons, forming a pseudo-inverse matrix determined based in part on the first impressions, and having a truncated value and a damped value to form third demographic-based impressions of the content on the second set of persons based on the second impressions, and computing at least partially corrected demographic-based impressions values by multiplying a vector of database proprietor impression data by the pseudo-inverse matrix.

  • Publication number: 20210357973
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for multi-account adjustment in third-party privacy-protected cloud environments are disclosed herein. A disclosed example apparatus includes memory and processor circuitry to execute computer readable instructions to select a demographic characteristic, the demographic characteristic defining a segment of panelists, select a type of client device, determine a number of the panelists associated with the demographic characteristic and the client device, and define a multi-account adjustment factor for the demographic characteristic and the client device, the factor based on a ratio of a number of panelists to a number of user accounts, the user accounts associated with the determined number of panelists.

  • Publication number: 20210357956
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to generate audience metrics using third-party privacy-protected cloud environments. An example apparatus includes a data modifier to obtain a first matrix, the first matrix including first data indicative of entities and embeddings, the entities representative of at least one of search result clicks or videos watched, the embeddings representative of at least one of first classifications of the search result clicks or second classifications of the videos watched, generate a second matrix by reducing the first data in the first matrix to second data that satisfies a size corresponding to an input feature, and store the second matrix in first memory as the input feature, and a model generator to generate a demographic correction model based on the second matrix as the input feature, the demographic correction model to correct demographics corresponding to impressions logged in second memory.

  • Publication number: 20210357957
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to adjust demographic information of user accounts to reflect primary users of the user accounts. An apparatus comprising: memory; and processor circuitry to execute instructions that causes the processor circuitry to at least: determine a first total score for a first panelist associated with a panelist user account based on at least one of a first impression score, a first age score, or a first gender score; determine a second total score for a second panelist associated with the panelist user account based on at least one of a second impression score, a second age score, or a second gender score; and in response to determining that the first total score satisfies a threshold, store demographics of the first panelist for the panelist user account.

  • Publication number: 20210357374
    Abstract: An example apparatus disclosed herein includes a data input interface to access different sets of initial adjustment factors, the initial adjustment factors generated to correct at least one of misattribution or non-coverage of media impressions logged by a database proprietor, a grouping controller to identify a first set of the initial adjustment factors as a set of donor adjustment factors based on (a) first audience members associated with the set of donor adjustment factors satisfying a first threshold and (b) first impressions associated with the first audience members satisfying a second threshold, and identify a second set of the initial adjustment factors as a set of recipient adjustment factors, and an imputation factor generator to generate imputation factors to correct ones of the recipient adjustment factors based on ones of the donor adjustment factors.
