US Patent 11431663 Technologies for predicting personalized message send times

Disclosed embodiments are related to send time optimization technologies for sending messages to users. The send time optimization technologies provide personalized recommendations for sending messages to individual subscribers taking into account the delay and/or lag between the send time and the time when a subscriber engages with a sent message. A machine learning (ML) approach is used to predict the optimal send time to send messages to individual subscribers for improving message engagement. The personalized recommendations are based on unique characteristics of each user's engagement preferences and patterns, and deals with historical feedback that is generally incomplete and skewed towards a small set of send hours. The ML approach automatically discovers hidden factors underneath message and send time engagements. The ML model may be a two-layer non-linear matrix factorization model. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
