Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for generating a diversity index. A diversity index system determines distribution values indicating a distribution of a set of users among demographic groups defined by two or more diversity dimensions. The diversity index system generates a distribution vector based on the distribution values. The diversity index system determines, based on the distribution vector and a similarity matrix, a set of diversity index values forming a diversity index vector. The similarity index includes a set of similarity scores for the demographic groups. The diversity index system determines a diversity index score for the set of users based on the diversity index vector and the distribution vector. The diversity index score indicates a level of diversity amongst the users from the set of users.

Abstract: A method and system for interactive advertising may use digital watermarks embedded in multimedia content displayed to a user of a mobile device that includes a camera. The user may capture the digital watermark by simply recording the multimedia content using the camera on the mobile device. A digital watermark value obtained from the digital watermark may be sent to a watermark service provider who validates the digital watermark value and returns an advertising token to the mobile device. The advertising token may be usable by the user to receive promotions, offers, and other information associated with an advertiser.
