Abstract

In some embodiments, a method receives a first instance of the item. Also, information for changes in a metric is received that is based on a delayed release time of a feature for second instances of the item after the second instances of the item were released. The method selects a second instance of the item from the second instances of the item based on a relationship to the first instance of the item. A second change in the metric is estimated for the first instance of the item based on a first change in the metric from the second instance of the item that is selected. Then, the method generates a ranking score for the feature if the feature is released for the first instance of the item based on the second change in the metric.

Background

BACKGROUND

A service may have options to add a feature to an item. For example, a content delivery service may release content as an item that can be played back by users. In some examples, a movie or show may be released. That movie or show may be associated with a first language as a feature, such as the content may have an audio track in English and subtitles in English. However, audio or subtitles for other languages as features that may also be released for the content, such as French, Korean, etc. To release the content with a new language, the audio track or subtitles need to be translated into the new language.

There may be advantages to releasing the content in another language. For example, releasing the content in another language may result in additional user accounts that playback the content, such as user accounts that may decide to playback the content in the new language, but may not have played back the content in the first language. However, the translation to the new language may incur cost, such as in manual hours to generate a translation of the audio track or subtitles, computing resources to generate a machine translation, hiring local celebrities or local actors to dub the audio, etc. Even if a machine translation is used, the machine translation may not be adequate because the translation may need to be validated by a human user. In addition, different languages may have other idiosyncrasies that require some adjustment of the language b

Claims

1. A method comprising: receiving, by a computing device, a first instance of an item; receiving, by the computing device, information for changes in a metric based on an addition of a feature for second instances of the item after the second instances of the item were released; selecting, by the computing device, a second instance of the item from the second instances of the item based on a relationship to the first instance of the item; estimating, by the computing device, a second change in the metric for the first instance of the item based on a first change in the metric from the second instance of the item that is selected; and generating, by the computing device, a ranking score for the feature if the feature is released for the first instance of the item based on the second change in the metric. || 18. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon computer executable instructions, which when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to be operable for: receiving a first instance of the item; receiving information for changes in a metric based on a delayed release time of a feature for second instances of the item after the second instances of the item were released; selecting a second instance of the item from the second instances of the item based on a relationship to the first instance of the item; estimating a second change in the metric for the first instance of the item based on a first change in the metric from the second instance of the item that is selected; and generating a ranking score for the feature if the feature is released for the first instance of the item based on the second change in the metric. || 20. An apparatus comprising: one or more computer processors; and a computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions for controlling the one or more computer processors to be operable for: receiving a first instance of the item; receiving information for changes in a metric based on a delayed release time of a feature for second instances of the item after the second instances of the item were released; selecting a second instance of the item from the second instances of the item based on a relationship to the first instance of the item; estimating a second change in the metric for the first instance of the item based on a first change in the metric from the second instance of the item that is selected; and generating a ranking score for the feature if the feature is released for the first instance of the item based on the second change in the metric.
