APPLICATION RECOMMENDATION MACHINE LEARNING SYSTEM

Abstract:

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for generating a recommendation of third-party applications to a user by a recommendation engine. The recommendation engine includes two deep-learning models that use various data sources (e.g., user data and application data) to generate the recommendation. One deep-learning model generates a relevance score for each available third-party application. The relevance score is used to determine a relevant application(s). The other deep-learning model generates a connection score for each relevant application. The recommendation engine uses the relevance score and the connections to generate an engagement score for each relevant application to determine whether the user would use the third-party application if recommended to the user. Those relevant applications with an engagement score that meet pre-determined criteria are determined and displayed to the user in the application as a recommendation.
