  • Publication number: 20220101357
    Abstract: Computer-implemented techniques for recipient session attribution in an online service. When the techniques are implemented in the context of an online service in which end-users are alerted about the online end-user actions of other end-users, the impact of the online actions on the online session activity of the recipients of the alerts can be measured post-hoc, after the online actions have been taken and the online sessions have been conducted. The techniques may be implemented in the context of a single-randomization AB experiment with the online service to measure the recipient session impact of the treatment feature of the experiment where the end-user action under test of the experiment is an alert-triggering action.

  • Patent number: 10970325
    Abstract: In an embodiment, the disclosed technologies include receiving a set of digital inputs; where the set of digital inputs includes a candidate entity-member entity pair that includes candidate entity data and member entity data; where the member entity data has been extracted from a node of an online service; where an exact match has not been found between the candidate entity data and the member entity data; in response to the set of digital inputs, outputting models of the candidate entity data and the member entity data, respectively; where the models indicate weight values assigned to text in the candidate entity data and weight values assigned to text in the member entity data, respectively; calculating a similarity score using the models; in response to the similarity score matching a threshold, inputting the candidate entity-member entity pair to a classifier to produce a classification; where the classifier uses a machine learning model that has been trained using features derived from previously-analyz
