Solution Overview

Problem

Current machine learning models for predicting user interaction with communications lack effectiveness in optimizing message delivery, leading to unnecessary resource consumption and low engagement rates, as they do not adequately account for individual recipient patterns and behavior.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that trains machine learning models using annotated communications data to predict user interaction by employing neural networks, such as LSTM-based models, which consider historical data and individual recipient patterns to provide personalized predictions, allowing for iterative refinement of communications before sending, and using attention factors to interpret text meanings.

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by training the machine learning model in advance to predict user interaction patterns. The model is pre-trained on historical communication data to establish recipient profiles and interaction predictions before actual communications are sent, enabling efficient filtering and optimization of messages without real-time processing overhead

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting communication parameters (such as message content, timing, and personalization) based on the machine learning model's predictions. The model analyzes various parameters including recipient behavior patterns, historical interactions, and communication metrics to optimize engagement while managing resource usage

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies segmentation by dividing the machine learning model into distinct functional components: a training module that processes historical data and establishes recipient profiles, and a prediction module that uses these profiles to generate interaction predictions. This segmentation allows the complex model to be managed in manageable parts while maintaining high prediction accuracy through specialized processing for each function

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses an intermediary approach by introducing recipient profiles as intermediate data structures that bridge historical data and prediction outputs. These profiles serve as mediators that store processed information about individual recipients, enabling the model to make accurate predictions without directly processing all historical data each time, thus reducing computational complexity while maintaining precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A machine learning model may be trained using annotated communications data. Each communication (e.g., a short messaging system (SMS) message or email) is annotated with a measure of user interaction. The machine learning model is thus trained to predict a measure of user interaction for future communications. Before sending future communications, at least a portion of the communication is provided to the trained machine learning model to predict the expected measure of user interaction with the communication. In response to the prediction, the sender of the communication may alter the communication. The system may automatically send the communication if the predicted measure of user interaction exceeds a predetermined threshold and only prompt the user if the predicted measure of user interaction does not exceed the predetermined threshold.
