Publication number: 20260154704Abstract: Embodiments present techniques for determining a list of recommended items in response to a user query. An embodiment can determine a first ordered list of items including a plurality of items stored by a content platform. Based on a reward discount parameter, a first total discounted future reward for the first ordered list of items can be determined. Based on a risk discount parameter, a first risk estimate for the first ordered list of items can be determined. Similarly, a second ordered list of items can have a second total discounted future reward and a second risk estimate. The second ordered list of items can be the list of recommended items when the second total discounted future reward is larger than or equal to the first total discounted future reward, and the second risk estimate is less than or equal to the first risk estimate.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2026Publication date: June 4, 2026Applicant: Roku, Inc.Inventors: Abhishek MAJUMDAR, Rahul Agarwal, Nitish Aggarwal, Yu Zhou, Kapil Kumar, Ratul Ray, Yuzhong Li, Srimaruti Manoj Nimmagadda

Publication number: 20260037531Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for ranking a plurality of content items for presentation to a user. An embodiment generates a ranking score for each content item by: providing input to a deep machine learning (ML) model, the input including at least one or more query features and one or more content item features, determining, by the deep ML model and based at least on the input, a first probability of a first type of interaction between the user and the content item and a second probability of a second type of interaction between the user and the content item, and calculating the ranking score for the content item based at least on the first and second probabilities. An embodiment ranks the content items for presentation based on the ranking score associated with each content item.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2025Publication date: February 5, 2026Applicant: ROKU, INC.Inventors: Kapil KUMAR, Rahul AGARWAL, Thanh DANG, Ratul RAY, Danish SHAIKH, Srimaruti Manoj NIMMAGADDA

Publication number: 20260032315Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for determining a list of recommended items in response to a user query. An embodiment can generate an ordered relevance list of items, and determine an initial reward value based on an array of relevance scores and an array of revenue values corresponding to the ordered relevance list of items, a parameter alpha assigned to the array of relevance scores, and a parameter beta assigned to the array of revenue values. The embodiment can generate a next list of recommended items from an initial list of recommended items, and further calculate a next reward value associated with the next list of recommended items, and determine a list of recommended items in response to the query based on a comparison of the initial reward value and the next reward value.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2025Publication date: January 29, 2026Applicant: Roku, Inc.Inventors: Rahul AGARWAL, Abhishek MAJUMDAR, Yu ZHOU, Ratul RAY, Yuzhong LI, Nitish AGGARWAL, Srimaruti Manoj NIMMAGADDA

Publication number: 20250036638Abstract: A content retrieval system may receive a query associated with a plurality of content items in a repository. For each content item of the plurality of content items: a respective first and second similarity score may be generated based on a similarity between embeddings indicative of a first and second data type generated from the query and for the content item; and a respective normalized similarity score may be generated based on a combination of the respective first and second similarity scores. A set of content items with respective normalized similarity scores that satisfy a similarity score threshold may be identified. An exact-match (lexical) search may yield respective mapping scores for content items that may also be ranked. An output indicative of content items that are identified in the set of content items with high-ranking similarity scores and identified in the set of content items with high-ranking mapping scores.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2024Publication date: January 30, 2025Applicant: ROKU, INC.Inventors: Peter Martigny, Fedor Bartosh, Danish Shaikh, Vinh Nguyen, Manasi Deshmukh, Ratul Ray, Nitish Aggarwal, Srimaruti Manoj Nimmagadda, Kapil Kumar, Sameer Girolkar
