Access control systems and methods regulate access to shared content items in a corpus using visibility tokens. A user provides other users with access to a content item by associating a content token with the content item and associating a matching user token with each user who is to be granted access. A user who attempts to access the content item succeeds only if that user has a user token matching the content token associated with the content item. User tokens can be propagated automatically from one user to another, e.g., based on trust relationships among the users. Content tokens can be indexed with content items so that when a user searches the corpus, a search engine can detect matches between user tokens and content tokens and filter the search results based on whether they are visible to the querying user.
摘要:
A computer-implemented method for matching a display advertisement to a user within a large-scale, non-destructive user modeling and experimentation environment using real-time traffic. The method commences by populating a user profile object (containing demographics, history, and behaviors of the user) for use during concurrent operation of a production platform and an experimentation platform. To implement non-destructive testing, the method continues by cloning a portion of the real-time traffic for use by the experimentation platform while concurrently delivering the real-time traffic to the production platform. The production platform and the experimentation platform operate concurrently, scoring matches between the user profile objects and a plurality of display advertisements for selecting among the best-scored advertisements. At the conclusion of the experiment, a new user profile object is constructed by selecting a first portion of the experimentation user profile object for use during continued operation of the production platform. Any undesired data is discarded.
