Abstract

A promotion value model uses deep neural networks to learn to calculate the promotion value of a commercial brand. The model determines and reports the promotion value of a plurality of electronic media files each containing at least one commercial brand indicator. The learned model identifies the electronic media files and determines at least one context for each of the at least one commercial brand indicators. Promotion value is modeled with a deep neural network that maps the context for each of the commercial brand indicators to feature vectors mapped to an input layer of the neural network. Network parameters are learned to indicate relative weighted values between transitions of the layers of the neural network.

Claims (26)

1. A computer-implemented process, comprising the following steps:

training a deep neural network to determine promotional value for brands using a training data set with visual and audio media having known promotional brand values;

searching with a processor of a computing device, on a connected network, a plurality of websites for data corresponding to digital electronic media files;

parsing the data returned from the search to determine a plurality of digital electronic media files containing data corresponding to at least one entity identifier;

identifying the plurality of digital electronic media files each containing data corresponding to at least one entity identifier, wherein the digital electronic media files include at least one visual media file and at least one audio media file, wherein the at least one entity identifier within the at least one visual media file includes at least one entity logo, wherein a logo recognition application hosted within a computer device uses the deep neural network to detect and identify the at least one entity logo within the at least one visual media file, and wherein the deep neural network uses a computer vision program to detect at least a size and clarity of the at least one entity logo within the at least one visual media file, and wherein the at least one entity identifier within the at least one audio media file includes at least one audio brand indicator, wherein the application hosted within the computer device uses the deep neural network to detect and identify the at least one audio brand indicator within the at least one audio media file;

parsing the data corresponding to at least one entity identifier to determine at least one context for each of the at least one entity identifiers;

mapping each entity identifier context to a feature vector;

mapping each feature vector to an input layer of the deep neural network;

mapping the input layer to a plurality of hidden layers of the deep neural network;

generating a promotional value model by learning weights for each of a plurality of transitions between the layers of the deep neural network, such that the learned weights indicate a relative value between the layers, wherein the promotional value model is configured to determine a promotional value of a commercial brand of the entity learned through the deep neural network; and

reporting the determined promotional value of the commercial brand of the entity.

2. A computer-implemented process, comprising the following steps:

training a deep neural network to determine promotional value for brands using a training data set with visual and audio media having known promotional brand values;

identifying a plurality of digital electronic media files each containing at least one commercial brand indicator, wherein the plurality of digital electronic media files includes at least one visual media file and at least one audio media file, wherein the at least one commercial brand indicator within the at least one visual media file includes at least one logo, wherein a logo recognition application hosted within a computer device uses the deep neural network to detect and identify the at least one logo within the at least one visual media file, and wherein the deep neural network uses a computer vision program to detect at least a size and clarity of the at least one logo within the at least one visual media file, and wherein the at least one commercial brand indicator within the at least one audio media file includes at least one audio brand indicator, wherein the application hosted within the computer device uses the deep neural network to detect and identify the at least one audio brand indicator within the at least one audio media file;

determining at least one context for each of the at least one commercial brand indicators;

mapping each brand indicator context to a feature vector;

mapping each feature vector to an input layer of the deep neural network;

mapping the input layer to a plurality of hidden layers of the deep neural network;

generating a promotion value model by learning weights for each of a plurality of transitions between the layers of the deep neural network, such that the learned weights indicate a relative value between the layers, wherein the promotion value model is configured to determine a promotion value of the at least one commercial brand learned through the deep neural network; and

reporting the determined promotion value.

3. The process of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of digital electronic media files are at least one selected from the set of: visual, audio, and text files.

4. The process of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of digital electronic media files comprise at least one social media post.

5. The process of claim 4 , wherein the step of identifying a plurality of digital electronic media files comprises searching a social media site by at least one selected from the set of: account name, hashtag, mention, event logo, and keyword.

6. The process of claim 2 , wherein the at least one commercial brand indicator is at least one selected from the set of: a logo, a mention, an embedded mention, and a hashtag.

7. The process of claim 2 , wherein the at least one context further comprises at least one selected from the set of: file type, size, location, visibility, exposure, and cost.

8. The process of claim 2 , wherein the deep neural network learns the weights using back-propagation algorithms.
