STREAMING CHANNEL PERSONALIZATION

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to devices and methods for personalizing channel parameters for streaming content to a client device by dynamically adjusting channel parameters in response to learned user preferences. The devices and methods may receive context information from a client device and may send a rank and reward call to a reinforcement learning system for a recommendation for a value of the channel parameters. The rank and reward call may include the context information, a user vector, an item vector and a reward function error. The reinforcement learning system may use the information provided in the rank and reward call to the provide a recommendation for the value of the channel parameters. The devices and methods may use the recommendation to set the value of the channel parameters to stream the content to the client device.
