Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for determining send times to provide electronic communications based on predicted response rates by utilizing a Bayesian approach and multi-armed bandit algorithms. For example, the disclosed systems can generate predicted response rates by training and utilizing one or more response rate prediction models to generate a weighted combination of user-specific response information and population-specific response information. The disclosed systems can further utilize a Bayes upper-confidence-bound send time model to determine send times that are more likely to elicit user responses based on the predicted response rates and further based on exploration and exploitation considerations.
