    摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products that provide for an improved and more efficient system for transmitting content to client devices. The embodiments disclose an apparatus that clusters user behavior based on platform session records. The platform session records comprise stored data associated with a plurality of user inputs received by the system for the duration of a platform session. The apparatus and methods transform the platform session records into data comprising a form that is usable for identifying clusters of platform sessions. As a result of the clustering methodologies, the apparatus is configured to deliver content specifically optimized for users of client devices. The present disclosure thus provides for an improved networked system that reduces the amount of data transferred via the network and allows for a more efficient system that has reduced infrastructure requirements and improved performance.

    摘要: Embodiments provide computer systems, computer-executable methods and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media for offering one or more promotions to consumers using a promotion and marketing service. User input may be received from a first consumer interface associated with a first consumer, the user input including an interest indication relating to a first promotion. An association between the first consumer and a second consumer for sharing of promotions may be programmatically retrieved or generated. Based on the association, it may be determined whether to offer the first promotion to the second consumer based on one or more characteristics associated with the second consumer. Based on a determination that the first promotion should be offered to the second consumer, an indication may be outputted, the indication configured to cause an impression of the first promotion to be generated on a second consumer interface associated with the second consumer.
