Abstract:
A processing system may identify a plurality of uniform resource locators associated with a target category of a plurality users of a communication network, identify a plurality of sequences of URLs, each sequence comprising URLs from among the plurality of URLs, each sequence associated with a user known to be of the target category, and train a machine learning model with the plurality of sequences to detect additional sequences that are indicative of the target category. The processing system may next obtain a set of URLs associated with an additional user, identify a sequence comprising URLs, from among the plurality of URLs, that are contained within the set of URLs, apply the sequence as an input to the machine learning model that has been trained, and obtain an output of the machine learning model quantifying a measure of which the sequence is indicative of the target category.
