Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to accurately credit streaming sessions are disclosed. A meter device records streaming session information. Cluster creation circuitry trains a model by grouping information from multiple streaming sessions into clusters, wherein all streaming sessions within a given cluster have matching media and streaming sources. Model executor circuitry assigns incoming streaming session information to a cluster or to noise. Cluster creation circuitry edits the model by creating new clusters out of information from multiple streaming sessions with similar attributes that were originally labeled as noise. By only crediting streaming session information assigned to a cluster, the disclosed system avoids crediting illogical streaming session information, such as the crediting of media to a streaming source that does not offer said media.
