  • Framework for managing features across environments
    Patent number: 11704370
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system obtains a feature configuration for a feature. Next, the system obtains, from the feature configuration, an anchor containing metadata for accessing the feature in an environment. The system then uses one or more attributes of the anchor to retrieve one or more feature values of the feature from the environment. Finally, the system provides the one or more feature values for use with one or more machine-learning models.
    Type: Grant

  • Persona based data mining system
    Patent number: 10157351
    Abstract: Data mining systems and methods are disclosed for associating users with items based on underlying personas. The system associates each user account with one or more underlying personas that contribute to the user's interactions with different items, and predicts an active persona for a user based on the user's recent interactions with items and make item related recommendations that are oriented to the active persona. Thus, for example, even though multiple individuals may share a computer and/or account, the content (e.g., item recommendations) presented during a browsing session may be based primarily or exclusively on the past browsing behaviors of the particular individual conducting the browsing session.

  • Probabilistic matrix factorization system based on personas
    Patent number: 10089675
    Abstract: Data mining systems and methods are disclosed for associating users with items based on underlying personas. The system associates each user account with one or more underlying personas that contribute to the user's interactions with different items, and models user-to-item associations in accordance with the underlying personas based on probabilistic matrix factorization. The system may further predict an active persona for a user based on the user's recent interactions with items and make item related recommendations that are oriented to the active persona.
