  • Publication number: 20200286154
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems, methods, and computer readable media for training and utilizing an item-level importance sampling model to evaluate and execute digital content selection policies. For example, systems described herein include training and utilizing an item-level importance sampling model that accurately and efficiently predicts a performance value that indicates a probability that a target user will interact with ranked lists of digital content items provided in accordance with a target digital content selection policy. Specifically, systems described herein can perform an offline evaluation of a target policy in light of historical user interactions corresponding to a training digital content selection policy to determine item-level importance weights that account for differences in digital content item distributions between the training policy and the target policy.

  • Publication number: 20200167690
    Abstract: Systems and techniques for multi-task equidistant embedding are described that process categorical feature data to explore feature interactions. A digital analytics system enforces an equidistant relationship among features within a category while extracting high-order feature interactions by punishing both positive correlations and negative correlations among low-dimensional representations of different features. By enforcing an equidistant embedding, information is retained and accuracy is increased while higher order feature interactions are determined. Further, the digital analytics system shares knowledge among different tasks by connecting a shared network representation common to multiple tasks with exclusive network representations specific to particular tasks.

  • Patent number: 10623784
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a content-adaptive digital media content adjustment system, method and architecture. Playback rate of a media content item comprising audio and video content can be increased by removing a portion of the content item's audio content and a corresponding portion of the content item's video content. An increased playback rate of a multimedia content item is accomplished by decreasing the length of the multimedia content item by removing portions of the multimedia content item's audio and video content.

  • Publication number: 20200074504
    Abstract: Recommendation systems and techniques are described that employ change point detection to generate recommendations for digital content. In one example, a change point detection technique is employed by a recommendation system to identify when a change point has occurred at a respective time step of a series of time steps. Detection of this change point may then be used by the recommendation system to reset the statistical model to address this change as well as generate a subsequent recommendation configured for exploration of reward distributions of the items of digital marketing content.

  • Publication number: 20190324606
    Abstract: Systems and methods for customizing an interactive experience based on topics determined from an online topic model. In an example, a segmentation application executing on a computing device accesses past user interaction vectors that represent interaction data from an electronic content delivery system. The segmentation application accesses a segmentation model having parameters. The segmentation application updates the parameters by performing tensor decomposition on a tensor built from the past user interaction vectors and calculating updating values of the parameters from the tensor decomposition. The segmentation application performs a segmentation of user devices by applying the segmentation model with the updated parameters to the present user interaction vector. The segmentation assigns the user device to the user segment. The segmentation application transmits data describing the segmentation to the electronic content delivery system.

  • Publication number: 20190311394
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable storage media are disclosed for determining parameters for digital campaign content in connection with executing digital campaigns using a rank-one assumption and a best-arm identification algorithm. For example, the disclosed system alternately explores response data in the first dimension and response data in the second dimension using the rank-one assumption and the best-arm identification algorithm to estimate highest sampling values from each dimension. In one or more embodiments, the disclosed system uses the estimated highest sampling values from the first and second dimension to determine a combination with a highest sampling value in a parameter matrix constructed based on the first dimension and the second dimension, and then executes the digital campaign using the determined combination.

  • Publication number: 20190243923
    Abstract: A machine-learning framework uses partial-click feedback to generate an optimal diverse set of items. An example method includes estimating a preference vector for a user based on diverse cascade statistics for the user, the diverse cascade statistics including previously observed responses and previously observed topic gains. The method also includes generating an ordered set of items from the item repository, the items in the ordered set having highest topic gain weighted by similarity with the preference vector, providing the ordered set for presentation to the user, and receiving feedback from the user on the ordered set. The method also includes, responsive to the feedback indicating a selected item, updating the diverse cascade statistics for observed items, wherein the updating results in penalizing the topic gain for items of the observed items that are not the selected item and promoting the topic gain for the selected item.
