    Abstract: A foundation structure is made up of a screw that is vertically adjustable into a pile to a desired height, a ball joint connected to the screw, and load bearing components that can be adjusted on the ball joint in 3-dimensional space with respect to the position of the pile. The load bearing components include at least two plates that, between them, define a hollow slot into which an anchor bolt can be held in place vertically while still having allowance for lateral motion. A load bearing plate at the top of the structure can be laterally translated based on movement of the anchor bolt. The load bearing plate is removably couplable to the floor of a building. The structure allows for vertical, lateral, and angular adjustment, providing tolerance for foundation misalignments due to inconsistencies inherent to topography and/or offset between an intended and an actual point of installation.

    Abstract: A computer implemented method for incorporating multiple objectives in a ranked list of search results includes receiving a search query from a client device, accessing a set of stored listings for goods or services and probabilities of serving the listings, defining a serving vector as a probability distribution over the set of listings, providing a serving vector as input to a multi-objective function, decomposing the multi-objective function into one or more objective functions, generating a ranked list of the listings based at least in part on the serving vector that maximizes the decomposed multi-objective function, and providing the listings to the client device according to the order of the ranked list. Each objective function addresses a different goal in an overall diversity optimization.

    Abstract: An online reservation system is configured to receive requests from a guest for searching property listings and to return property listings that satisfy the search criteria of the requests. The online reservation system uses a machine learning system to rank the property listings returned by the search. The machine learning system uses objective functions to determine parameters for each property listing and assign a ranking based on the parameters. A first objective function generates a parameter indicating an extent to which a property listing matches preferences of the guest, and is based on data about the guest's interactions with the reservation system. A second objective function generates another parameter indicating an extent to which the search request matches the preferences of the host associate with the property listing, and is based on data about the host's responses to reservation requests.

    Abstract: Listings and reviews of listings can be processed to identify descriptive attributes for locations associated with the listings. To do this, a corpus of words is generated for various locations based on listings in the locations and reviews of those listings. An expected frequency, and per-location frequency for each word is determined. These numbers are in turn used to determine a number of high frequency listing locations, and a number of below expected frequency listing locations for each word. Based on a comparison of the number of high frequency listing locations and the number of below expected frequency listing locations of a word with an attribute reference number, the word can be identified either as an attribute that is likely descriptive of the location, or not.

    Abstract: A behavior detection module constructs a random forest classifier (RFC) that takes into account asymmetric misclassification costs between a set of classification labels. The classification label estimate is determined based on classification estimates from the plurality of decision trees. Each parent node of a decision tree is associated with a condition of an attribute that splits a parent node into two child nodes by maximizing an improvement function based on a training database. The improvement function is based on an asymmetric impurity function that biases the decision tree to decrease the error for a label with high misclassification cost over the other, at the cost of increasing the error of the other label with a lower misclassification cost.

    Abstract: A computer implemented system and method for selecting and notifying operators of the option to enable a record activation feature for a short interval of time for the records they offer in a selected geographic area. Enabling record activation for a record indicates that the record may be booked without the operator's to manual approval of the transaction. Before selecting and notifying operators, a demand for database requests is predicted. Operators that are most likely to offer their record for record activation are identified. A quality score is determined for each identified record based on the likelihood that the record will get booked once the operator has programmatically enabled record activation. The records needed to fulfill the demand for database requests are selected based on their quality score and the operators of the selected records are notified of the option to enable record activation.
