Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media can obtain a plurality of content item collections, each content item collection of the plurality of content item collections including one or more content items. A score for each content item collection of the plurality of content item collections can be determined, based on a probability of a user spending time on at least one of the one or more content items included in the content item collection. The plurality of content item collections can be ranked based on respective scores. Access to at least one content item collection of the plurality of content item collections can be provided to the user based on the ranking.

Claims (34)

1 . A computer-implemented method comprising:

obtaining, by a computing system, a plurality of content item collections, each content item collection of the plurality of content item collections including one or more content items;

determining, by the computing system, a score for each content item collection of the plurality of content item collections, based on a probability of a user spending time on at least one of the one or more content items included in the content item collection;

ranking, by the computing system, the plurality of content item collections based on respective scores; and

providing, by the computing system, access to at least one content item collection of the plurality of content item collections to the user based on the ranking.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the score for each content item collection of the plurality of content item collections is based on a respective probability of the user spending time on each of the one or more content items included in the content item collection.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein the score for each content item collection of the plurality of content item collections includes one or more of: a sum of the respective probability of the user spending time on each of the one or more content items included in the content item collection, or an average of the respective probability of the user spending time on each of the one or more content items included in the content item collection.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the providing access to at least one content item collection of the plurality of content item collections includes providing for display in a user interface at least one of: a representation of the at least one content item collection of the plurality of content item collections or a representation of a content item.

5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , further comprising providing content items of the at least one content item collection of the plurality of content item collections in response to selection of at least one of: the representation of the at least one content item collection of the plurality of content item collections or the representation of the content item.

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein the providing access to at least one content item collection of the plurality of content item collections includes providing the representation of the at least one content item collection of the plurality of content item collections for display in a content item collection tray.

7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein the one or more content items included in each content item collection of the plurality of content item collections are media content items, and the providing access to at least one content item collection of the plurality of content item collections includes providing a representation of a first content item for display in the user interface.

8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the probability of the user spending time on the at least one of the one or more content items includes an estimated amount of time the user is likely to spend on the at least one of the one or more content items.

9 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the probability of the user spending time on the at least one of the one or more content items included in the content item collection is determined based on a machine learning model.

10 . The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , wherein the machine learning model is trained to predict a probability of a user spending time on a content item included in a content item collection based on features relating to one or more of: user attributes or content item attributes.

11 . A system comprising:

at least one hardware processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform:

obtaining a plurality of content item collections, each content item collection of the plurality of content item collections including one or more content items;

determining a score for each content item collection of the plurality of content item collections, based on a probability of a user spending time on at least one of the one or more content items included in the content item collection;

ranking the plurality of content item collections based on respective scores; and

providing access to at least one content item collection of the plurality of content item collections to the user based on the ranking.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the determining the score for each content item collection of the plurality of content item collections is based on a respective probability of the user spending time on each of the one or more content items included in the content item collection.

13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the score for each content item collection of the plurality of content item collections includes one or more of: a sum of the respective probability of the user spending time on each of the one or more content items included in the content item collection, or an average of the respective probability of the user spending time on each of the one or more content items included in the content item collection.

14 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the providing access to at least one content item collection of the plurality of content item collections includes providing for display in a user interface at least one of: a representation of the at least one content item collection of the plurality of content item collections or a representation of a content item.

15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the probability of the user spending time on the at least one of the one or more content items includes an estimated amount of time the user is likely to spend on the at least one of the one or more content items.

16 . A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one hardware processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:

obtaining a plurality of content item collections, each content item collection of the plurality of content item collections including one or more content items;

determining a score for each content item collection of the plurality of content item collections, based on a probability of a user spending time on at least one of the one or more content items included in the content item collection;

ranking the plurality of content item collections based on respective scores; and

providing access to at least one content item collection of the plurality of content item collections to the user based on the ranking.

17 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the determining the score for each content item collection of the plurality of content item collections is based on a respective probability of the user spending time on each of the one or more content items included in the content item collection.

18 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the score for each content item collection of the plurality of content item collections includes one or more of: a sum of the respective probability of the user spending time on each of the one or more content items included in the content item collection, or an average of the respective probability of the user spending time on each of the one or more content items included in the content item collection.

19 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the providing access to at least one content item collection of the plurality of content item collections includes providing for display in a user interface at least one of: a representation of the at least one content item collection of the plurality of content item collections or a representation of a content item.

20 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the probability of the user spending time on the at least one of the one or more content items includes an estimated amount of time the user is likely to spend on the at least one of the one or more content items.
