Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to generate audience metrics for connected television. An example system includes at least one memory, programmable circuitry, and instructions to cause the programmable circuitry to obtain media access data corresponding to connected television media and a user identifier corresponding to a media access device, generate, using a machine learning model, probability values for corresponding audience demographics in a household composition corresponding to the user identifier, the probability values indicative of likelihoods that corresponding ones of the audience demographics are accessing the connected television media, determine a person-level characteristic based on the probability values of the audience demographics, the person-level characteristic corresponding to an audience member of the connected television media, and assign the media access data to the person-level characteristic.

Abstract: A method of preparing a halophthalic acid is disclosed which comprises the steps of contacting in a liquid phase reaction mixture at least one halogen-substituted ortho-xylene with oxygen and acetic acid at a temperature in a range between about 120° C. and about 220° C. in the presence of a catalyst system yielding a product mixture comprising less than 10 percent halogen-substituted ortho-xylene starting material, a halophthalic acid product, and less than about 10,000 ppm halobenzoic acid and less than about 1000 ppm halophthalide by-products based on a total amount of halophthalic acid present in the product mixture. In addition methods for the preparation of halophthalic anhydride, and recovery of high purity acetic acid from an aqueous acetic acid stream comprising HCl, which is generated during the preparation of the halophthalic acid are also disclosed.
