Application: Implicit rating recommendations feedback loop (Patent ID: US20240193463A1)

The patent filed by Microsoft Corp. describes a computer device that customizes a user interface based on implicit ratings of user interface elements. The device monitors user interactions prior to a goal action, trains a model based on collected events to generate predictive ratings, and applies these ratings to a collaborative filter to recommend modifications to the user interface for specific users. The model is trained using machine learning techniques to improve the correlation of the implicit ratings with the goal action rate, and the collaborative filter uses a user-item transaction matrix to generate recommendations based on user ratings.

The computer device further classifies user interactions into key-value pairs, uses a neural network to represent the model, and can retrain the model based on the success rates of recommended modifications. The method involves monitoring user interactions, training the model, generating implicit ratings, and applying them to a collaborative filter to recommend modifications to the user interface. The collaborative filter uses user ratings to score items, and the method includes modifying the user interface based on recommendations, comparing success rates of recommended modifications, and potentially retraining the model based on these comparisons. Overall, the patent outlines a system that leverages implicit user ratings to personalize and improve user interfaces based on predictive models and collaborative filtering techniques.
