In one example, a method for automatically determining consumer eligibility for a gated offer using a hashed dataset comprises, receiving an eligibility claim from a requester, receiving credentials from a consumer, selecting a verification source based on the eligibility claim and the credentials, determining an eligibility status of the eligibility claim by comparing the credentials against a hashed dataset of the verification source, and transmitting the eligibility status to the requester. In this way, a verification platform may determine consumer eligibility to a gated offer using hashed data, without holding the underlying personal data of the consumer, thereby reducing data exposure of the consumer. | 2021-04-15 |
20210110426 | VISUAL ATTENTION MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Embodiments relate to detecting the effectiveness of advertisements and other messages on remote platforms such as trucks or billboards.

20210110427 | UNIFIED PAYMENT AND RETURN ON INVESTMENT SYSTEM - The unified payment system, product and method provide an effective and efficient way to better communicate to a merchant the value of running a promotion and determine a deal structure that works for the merchant, the customer, the promotion system, or any combination thereof. The unified payment system, product and method provide real-time ROI calculations that a merchant and sales representative can collaboratively simultaneously work on to identify a deal structure for the merchant to select. In this way, the merchant and sales representative may arrive at a mutually acceptable payment plan. | 2021-04-15 |
20210110428 | Click-Through Prediction for Targeted Content - In some examples, a computing device includes at least one processor and at least one module, operable by the at least one processor to receive, from a client device of a user, a request for one or more advertisements to display at the client device with a set of messages. The set of messages is associated with the user in a social network messaging service. The at least one module may be further operable to determine a probability that the user will select a candidate advertisement using a machine learning model based on point-wise learning and pair-wise learning. The at least one module may be further operable to determine, based on the probability that the user will select the candidate advertisement, a candidate score for the candidate advertisement, determine that the candidate score satisfies a threshold, and send, for display at the client device, the candidate advertisement. | 2021-04-15 |
20210110429 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATION OF AT LEAST ONE OUTPUT ANALYTIC FOR A PROMOTION - There is provided a method and system for generating an output analytic for a promotion. The method includes determining, using an optimization machine learning model trained or instantiated with an optimization training set, at least one determined parameter for the promotion which optimizes at least one of received input parameters, the optimization training set comprising received historical data; forecasting, using a promotion forecasting machine learning model trained or instantiated with an forecasting training set, at least one output analytic of the promotion, the prediction training set comprising the received historical data, the at least one received input parameter and the at least one determined parameter; and outputting the at least one output analytic to the user. | 2021-04-15 |
20210110430 | Dynamic Ad Insertion Decision-Making for Linear Live TV - Example methods and systems for ad insertion decision-making comprise: identifying an ad insertion opportunity in which an underlying advertisement is available for replacement by an addressable advertisement; determining a first expected revenue corresponding to presentation of the addressable advertisement and a first expected cost corresponding to presentation of the addressable advertisement, wherein the first expected cost is based on a current pacing of an advertisement campaign of the addressable advertisement; determining a second expected revenue corresponding to presentation of the underlying advertisement and a second expected cost corresponding to presentation of the underlying advertisement, wherein the second expected cost is based on a current pacing of an advertisement campaign of the underlying advertisement; determining an expected value of the ad insertion based on the first and second expected revenues and the first and second expected costs; and causing performance of the ad insertion based on the expected value. | 2021-04-15 |
20210110431 | MACHINE LEARNING SYSTEM FINDS UNITS OF INTEREST (UOI) BASED ON KEYWORDS, INTERESTS, AND BRANDS IN SOCIAL MEDIA AUDIENCES FOR THE PURPOSE OF TARGETING DIGITAL ADVERTISEMENTS - A targeted advertising campaign may be developed by a server that received an identifier for a source resource associated with a social media platform for a digital advertising campaign. Source resources may be URLs and/or URI that provide a location of information stored on the Internet. Often times, the source resource is associated with a social medial platform. The source resource may be accessed and one or more units of interest (UOIs) may be collected therefrom. A UOI and an associated source resource may be associated together as a target audience. A set of target audiences may be generated and provided to a user, who may select one or more of the target audiences for the advertising campaign. The advertising campaign may be run and metrics regarding performance of the advertising campaign may be gathered. These metrics may be used to iteratively improve the advertising campaign. | 2021-04-15 |
20210110432 | Automatic Item Placement Recommendations Based on Entity Similarity - Automatic item placement recommendation is described. An item placement configuration system receives an item for which a recommended placement is to be generated and identifies an entity associated with the item. The item placement configuration system then identifies a multi-domain taxonomy that describes relationships between different entities based on items associated with the different entities published among different domains. A representation of the entity associated with the item to be placed is then identified within the multi-domain taxonomy, along with a representation of at least one similar entity. Upon identifying a similar entity, historic item placement metrics for the similar entity are leveraged to generate a placement recommendation for the received item. In some implementations, the placement recommendation is output with a visual indication of a similar entity and associated performance metrics that were considered in generating the recommended placement. | 2021-04-15 |
