Abstract: In general, embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods and computer readable media for a predictive recommendation system based on an analysis of previous consumer behavior. One aspect of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods that include the actions of receiving data representing a user, the data including user identification and historical data; receiving a set of promotions recommended for the user; assigning the user to a consumer lifecycle model state based in part on the historical data and the user identification; selecting a ranking algorithm associated with the consumer lifecycle model state; and ranking the received set of promotions based on a predicted promotion relevance value associated with each promotion, the predicted promotion value being calculated using the ranking algorithm.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer program products are disclosed for utilizing specially configured machine learning models to generate incremental currency value(s) associated with one or more target merchant data objects. Some embodiments, based on one or more market record sets, identify an actual electronic currency value for a total merchant data object set, and include a counterfactual model configured to generate a counterfactual electronic currency value for use in determining a counterfactual incremental electronic currency impact, and in some embodiments for ranking other models. Embodiments, additionally or alternatively, include an incrementality-trained ensemble model for generating a predictive incremental electronic currency impact. The incrementality-trained ensemble model may be trained to predict based on the rankings of the outputs of the counterfactual model. Embodiments may further rank target merchant data objects and perform one or more additional actions, including assigning the target merchant data objects to sales account data structures for management.

Abstract: Systems and related methods providing for dynamic message creation are discussed herein. Circuitry may be configured receive generic configuration data that references work chunks for message generation and time data indicating a message send time. The work chunks may include references to message data, but not the actual message data. Based on the time data, the work chunks may be placed in a message queue. Circuitry may also be configured to retrieve a work chunk from the message queue and to generate one or more messages based on the retrieved work chunk. The references to message data in the work chunk may be used to retrieve the message data at the time of message generation.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems, methods and computer readable media for proving gift giving within a group. Consumers may register for a gift giving program, create a group and invite other consumers to participate. Group members may be randomly assigned to a group, or assigned to a group based on an invitation or indicated group. Relationships between gift givers and recipients within a group may be determined, such as in a randomized format. Gift givers may purchase a gift, such as a good or a promotion from a promotion and marketing service. The promotion and marketing service may assign the promotion to the recipient so that the recipient may redeem the promotion for a good, service, or experience. Promotions may be automatically purchased on behalf of a gift giver who fails to purchase the promotion by a gift-giving deadline.

Abstract: An apparatus, method, and computer program product are provided to translate message objects received in connection with request data objects to be translated into notification objects that are in format that can be received and processed by a system associated with an intended recipient to allow for efficient communication across disparate and incompatible systems. In some example implementations, otherwise a translation system transforms request information based on parameters associated with the message object and intended recipient to ensure that request information is properly received by recipient systems that may use obsolete, legacy, and/or specialized systems. Some example implementations involve the application of error detection protocols and the display of notification object information on a user interface that allows for system monitoring and error mediation.

Abstract: Techniques are described for providing location-based information and functionality to people and computing devices in various ways. In at least some situations, the techniques include enabling multiple people in a common geographic area to interact in various ways, such as via devices capable of communications (e.g., cellular telephones, computing devices with wired and/or wireless communications capabilities, etc.), while in other situations at least some users who are remote from a particular geographic area may be allowed to intercommunicate with one or more other users or other entities in or related to that geographic area. In addition, the techniques include enabling the creation and maintenance of location-based virtual groups of users (also referred to as “clouds”), such as for users of mobile and/or fixed-location devices. Such clouds may enable various types of interactions between group members, and may be temporary and/or mobile.

Abstract: Discussed herein are dynamically generated, customized electronic messages based on, for example, data representing attributes of an electronic message to be generated for an intended recipient; and, in response to receiving the data, sending custom content triggering data based on the attributes, where the custom content triggering data represent at least a dynamic portion of customized content to be added subsequently into the electronic message while the electronic message is rendered for display to the intended recipient; generating the electronic message content, which includes the custom content triggering data; and sending the electronic message to the intended recipient; and, in response to receiving the custom content triggering data, determining attributes of the electronic message based on the custom content triggering data; and generating the dynamic portion of customized content based on the electronic message attributes.
