ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPROACHES FOR PREDICTING CONVERSION ACTIVITY PROBABILITY SCORES AND KEY PERSONAS FOR TARGET ENTITIES

The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for accurately and efficiently predicting conversion probability scores and key personas for target entities utilizing an artificial intelligence approach. For example, the disclosed systems utilize a conversion activity score neural network to predict conversion activity probability scores for target entities and utilize a persona prediction machine learning model to predict key personas associated with target entities. In particular, the disclosed systems utilize the conversion activity score neural network to generate a predicted conversion activity probability score for a target entity from input data including client device interactions of digital profiles belonging to the target entity as well as an entity feature vector representing characteristics of the target entity. The disclosed systems also (or alternatively) utilize a persona prediction machine learning model to determine a set of key personas for the target entity from the entity feature vector.

Example methods and apparatus to replicate panelists using a local minimum solution of an integer least squares problem are disclosed. An example apparatus includes memory; and processor circuitry to execute computer readable instructions to: determine weight adjustments based on a ratio of (A) a first dot product of (i) attribute data and (ii) a difference between first aggregate panelist data and second seed panelist data, and (B) a second dot product of the attribute data and the attribute data, the first aggregate panelist data based on the attribute data, the attribute data corresponding to a seed panel; determine weight estimates based on the weight adjustments, the weight estimates to replicate respective seed panelists in the seed panel; and replicate respective ones of the seed panelists based on the weight estimates to generate a synthetic audience representative of return path data reported by a plurality of media devices.

System and method to identify and recommend media consumption options based on viewer suggestions

Systems and methods for determining, based on recommendations provided by users that have consumed a media asset, which consumption options may be configured on a media device such that when configured enhance the user viewing experience for a specific media asset. The method includes accessing comments posted by other users that have consumed the media asset. The comments are analyzed to determine a consumption option recommendation. If the number of comments meet a threshold value, then the system either automatically configures the media device or configures the media device upon user approval with the recommended consumption option. The recommendation to configure a consumption option on the media device is made only if the recommendation is supported by the media device. The system also detects through audio and image analysis which users are consuming the media asset and accordingly configures the consumption options to their preferences.

ACCOUNT BEHAVIOR PREDICTION USING PREDICTION NETWORK
20220385975 · 2022-12-01 ·

In some embodiments, a method inputs a sequence of historical behaviors for a plurality of instances of content into a prediction network to generate a sequence of values that model the sequence of historical behaviors. A restriction on an operation performed by the prediction network is based on a characteristic of an viewing behavior. A sequence of attention scores is generated based on a similarity of a current behavior for a first instance of content to respective instances of historical behaviors in the sequence of historical behaviors. The method adjusts respective values based on corresponding attention scores to generate an adjusted sequence of values. The adjusted sequence of features are sampled to generate an output from the prediction network that models the sequence of historical behaviors based on the current behavior. The output for determining a prediction if the current behavior is indicative of the viewing behavior.

Methods and apparatus to assign viewers to media meter data

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to assign viewers to media meter data are disclosed. An apparatus includes memory, and a processor to execute instructions to: determine first probabilities for first panelists in a first household based on a first number of minutes of first media presented by a first media presentation device monitored by a first meter, determine second probabilities for second panelists in a plurality of second households based on a second number of minutes of second media presented by second media presentation devices monitored by a plurality of second meters, compare the first probabilities and the second probabilities to identify a candidate household from the plurality of second households to associated with the first household, and impute respective portions of the first number of minutes to corresponding ones of the first panelists when monitored behavior of the candidate household matches monitored behavior of the first household.
