  • Publication number: 20240193665
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, devices, and the like for making content-based recommendations using a user profile likelihood model. In one embodiment, a system is introduced that includes a plurality of models and storage units for storing, managing, and transforming product and user profile data. The system can also include a recommendation engine designed to determine a probability that a product is relevant to a user based on a user profile. In another embodiment, the probability that a product is relevant to a user may be determined based in part on a frequency of interactions with a product and a time of interaction with the products.

  • Publication number: 20210073854
    Abstract: In response to detecting a purchase of a first product by a user, a computer system determines a category of the first product. In response to determining the category of the first product, the computer system determines a blackout time period for the user based on a maximum revenue impact amount corresponding to the blackout time period, a probability that the first product will be repurchased, and a probability that the first product is purchased after an impression is viewed, and wherein the blackout time period corresponds to a time period where one or more impressions of at least the first product purchased by the user are not transmitted for display to the user. In response to determining the blackout time period for the user, the computer system causes the blackout time period to be applied to the user.
