Abstract: The instant systems and methods are directed to a contextual bandits machine learning model configured to enable granular synchronized ecosystem personalization and optimization. The system and methods determine an objective and feed the objective and one more lifecycle model propensity scores as inputs to the contextual bandits machine learning model. The contextual bandits machine learning model then generates one or more potential weighted model rewards, wherein each potential weighted model reward includes at least a desired user action, a weight, a channel, and an expected change to the objective, and selects a weighted model reward that optimizes the objective. An action recommendation is subsequently transmitted to a user device based on the weighted model reward, wherein the action recommendation is presented in a selected channel associated with the weighted model reward. Feedback associated with the action recommendation is collected and used in training and fine-tuning of the model.

Abstract: An inferred seniority system, in one example embodiment, may be configured to determine seniority levels for member profiles maintained by an on-line social network system, based on information stored in the member profiles, and also based on a hierarchical structure termed a seniority pyramid. The system may first determine seniority labels for each of the profiles in a group of member profiles based on information in respective member profiles. The system then determines, for groups of profiles that are given their respective seniority labels, percentages of profiles associated with respective seniority labels. Respective seniority levels for the groups of profiles are determined based on respective percentages of profiles associated with respective seniority labels and the percentage ranges associated with seniority levels that are stored in the seniority pyramid structure.

Abstract: A system maintains data relating to members and business organizations on a social networking service. The system analyzes the data to identify attributes of employees at a first business organization, creates an employee profile for the first business organization using the identified attributes of the employees, compares the employee profile for the first business organization to a profile of a member, and recommends to the member a job posted by the first business organization when the employee profile for the first business organization is similar to the profile of the member.

Abstract: A system maintains member profiles and job profiles on a social networking service, identifies a first business organization using one or more of the member profiles and the job profiles, identifies a job title or a job function at the first business organization using one or more of the member profiles and the job profiles, and creates a job profile for the job title or job function at the first business organization using the member profiles and the job profiles.

Abstract: A system maintains one or more of member profiles, company profiles, and job postings on a social networking service. The system identifies a business organization using the one or more of member profiles, company profiles, and job postings. The system identifies a job title or a job function at the business organization using the one or more of member profiles, company profiles, and job postings.
