them by the user (a process known as

said, infers what they mean and/or want,
and determine a series of appropriate
responses based on this information

Target wanted to appeal to new or soon-to-be parents for most of their baby
needs. The company noticed that it had become the go-to for household items

inspired a personalized marketing campaign for the history books.

statistics and other fancy math tools, long story short, identify new
parents before they became parents.
