  • Publication number: 20190188740
    Abstract: An online system displays a first set of content items to a user of a test group and displays a second set of content items to a user of a control group. The online system presents a poll to each user to evaluate the user's recall of the content item associated with the poll. The online system receives a poll response from each user, which is input, along with a set of features associated each user, into a prediction model. The prediction model enables the online system to determine a poll response prediction of a third user based on a set of features associated with the third user. The poll response prediction enables the online system to determine if it would be effective to present the content item to the third user.
