Abstract
An online system generates predicted outcomes for a content distribution program that distributes content to users of the online system, the predicted outcome indicating a likelihood for the occurrence of an outcome of a content presentation. The online system transmits the one or more predicted outcomes to the third party system, and receives prediction improvement data from the third party system, the prediction improvement data indicating an adjustment to errors in the predicted outcomes based on a prediction by the third party system. The online system updates the properties of a content distribution program based on the prediction improvement data, the updated content distribution program causing the online system to generate new predicted outcomes based on the prediction improvement data in content presentation opportunities. The online system also transmits content to users of the online system based on the updated content distribution program.
