Abstract
Techniques for leveraging existing statistical prediction models are provided. A first statistical prediction model is generated for a content item. An instruction is received to create a clone from the content item. In response to receiving the instruction, the clone is created based on attributes of the content item. A second statistical prediction model that is different than the first statistical prediction model is generated for the clone. In response to receiving a request for content, the clone is identified as relevant to the first request. A similarity between (1) first content of the content item and (2) second content of the clone is determined. If the similarity exceeds a similarity threshold, then the first statistical prediction model is used to generate a prediction of an entity user selection rate associated with the clone. Otherwise, the second statistical prediction model is used to generate the prediction.
