Systems and Methods for Analyzing a List of Items Using Machine Learning Models

Techniques are described for training machine learning (ML) models using one or more electronic lists of items previously used in campaigns and labeled with an engagement rate corresponding to the list. A vocabulary formed from a union of the one or more lists may then be used to generate at least some items of a target recipient list. An engagement rate for the target recipient list may be inferred for the target recipient list. Natural language processing (NLP) techniques may be also be applied to optimize an engagement rate of a target recipient list and/or select content for the list.
