sixoclock Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 AI can make your smartphone notifications less annoying Apps could show you fewer, better alerts by using a new deep-learning trick. The problem: If an app sends too many push notifications, users may well delete it. Send too few, and they might not use it. But deep learning could help find the Goldilocks amount of notifications—where they’re not annoying, but help boost use of the app. A solution: A paper published on the arXiv describes how researchers trained an AI on data like browsing history, shopping history, and financial details to build a recommendation engine for when and what to show in notifications. Using it, they were able to accurately forecast a user’s preferences for frequency and content. More for less: When the AI was tested out on a number of Taiwanese apps, it reduced the number of notifications while increasing the click-through rate.

mona Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I don't need AI for that. Adding the option in settings to simply turn the push notifications off by a user would do for me. Unfortunatelly it's not gonna happen anytime soon since devs are not eager to hand on to user the control over their own apps/devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
