Abstract
Prediction models for managing viewership data are disclosed. An amount of time users are displayed content is initially obtained. The obtained amounts may be for each content distributor that distributes channels, for each of the channels with respect to which sets of content are displayed, for each of the sets that comprises content displayed during past periods, and for each of the displayed content. A set of features associated with each of the displays is obtained and a target period is selected from among the past periods. A model is used to predict an amount of time users were displayed content during the target period, for each of the sets, channels, and distributors, based on the obtained sets of features associated with the displays during the target period and on the obtained amounts for the displays during the past periods that precede the target period. A comparison, respectively for the same displays during the target period, of each of the obtained amounts to each of the predicted amounts is performed, and an anomaly is detected based on the comparisons. Finally, the anomaly is alerted.
