Abstract
An online system receives a request from a third-party application for a content item to be delivered to a user of a user device, the request including a device identifier corresponding to the user device used to access the third-party application. In order to deliver a targeted content item, the online system accesses inference model to infer an identity of the user, based upon device usage parameters based upon the received request, historical data associated with the device identifier, or an indication of activity associated with the device identifier on the online system or one or more first-party applications.
