CNNs are traditionally used in image processing, but were used here to create n-gram data of character sequences which are fed to an RNN. The RNN is able to learn the patterns of these character sequences which it uses to distinguish valid email addresses from invalid [...]

The TechCrunch article this references has one major, fundamental flaw: it doesn’t understand what open rates are. In saying that every sender can get a 100% open rate, it fails to take into account just how inaccurate a metric open rate is. [...]

If you're wondering if AOL still exists as a separate entity, the answer is no. AOL as a standalone ISP is no more. What was AOL is now part of Verizon Media Group, which for a time was called Oath. AOL, Yahoo and Verizon are all one mailbox provider, from a sender's perspective. The Yahoo CFL (Complaint Feedback Loop) aka FBL covers all of the legacy ISP domains that made up these separate providers. That includes aol.com, yahoo.com, verizon.net, and various other domains. You can find my best [...]

The journey of how we worked alongside 35 of our brands as developed Smart Send Time. We’ll show how and why it works and why it outperforms standard personalization techniques. Key findings: Sending email at different times of the day leads to different open rates; Using historical sent/opened data to make either list wide or personalized predictions does not provide substantial lift. Why? Missing data — Most companies have never tested an afternoon or evening send time, so we can’t make any [...]
