  • Publication number: 20220245654
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining a session record including properties visited by a consumer during a sample period and extracting, from the session record, a select group of properties associated with a particular category of a predetermined taxonomy of various marketplaces. A breadth value of the select group of properties visited during the sample period is determined according to a number of unique properties of the select group of properties. A depth value of the properties visited during the sample period is also determined according to an extent of consumer interaction with content of properties of the select group of properties. A change point, indicating a state transition along a purchase cycle, is determined based on variations in distributions more than one of the breadth, depth, and recency values without relying on an assumption of a specific parametric family. Other embodiments are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20220167034
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving, by a processing system including a processor, network access data for a first device of a first user and a second device of a second user, training a model based on the network access data to develop a first topological signature for the first device and a second topological signature for the second device, determining a relationship among the first user and the second user based on the first topological signature and the second topological signature, and providing network information such as advertising to the first device and to the second device based on the relationship among the first user and the second user. Other embodiments are disclosed.
