摘要： Micro-donations are received from users for various items of content published by different content providers. The micro-donations are aggregated into the user accounts and the content provider accounts until a transaction condition is satisfied. When the transaction condition is satisfied for the user account, a process to collect the micro-donation amount contributed by a respective user to different content providers is effectuated. When the transaction condition is satisfied for a content provider account, the micro-donation amount received from different users and aggregated within the content provider account is provided to the respective content provider. Various user and content provider incentives are implemented to encourage participation by the users and the content providers.

摘要： A method of targeting receives several granular events and preprocesses the received granular events thereby generating preprocessed data to facilitate construction of a model based on the granular events. The method generates a predictive model by using the preprocessed data. The predictive model is for determining a likelihood of a user action. The method trains the predictive model. A system for targeting includes granular events, a preprocessor for receiving the granular events, a model generator, and a model. The preprocessor has one or more modules for at least one of pruning, aggregation, clustering, and/or filtering. The model generator is for constructing a model based on the granular events, and the model is for determining a likelihood of a user action. The system of some embodiments further includes several users, a selector for selecting a particular set of users from among the several users, a trained model, and a scoring module.

摘要： A system and method to facilitate automatic categorization of events in a network, wherein one or more keywords are retrieved from a keyword database, each retrieved keyword matching a corresponding event unit of an event input by a user over a network. A dominant keyword corresponding to a highest parameter value calculated for each retrieved keyword is then selected. Finally, the event is categorized based on one or more categories associated with the dominant keyword. The dominant keyword may be selected based on one or more keyword categories associated with each retrieved keyword and an ambiguity parameter value calculated for each keyword. Alternatively, the dominant keyword may be selected based on a highest-ranked output value calculated for each retrieved keyword. One or more categories associated with the dominant keyword are subsequently retrieved from the keyword database and the event is categorized based on the category associated with the dominant keyword.

摘要： The present invention is directed to systems and methods for identifying compatible advertisement contracts to satisfy an advertisement opportunity. The systems and methods include receiving a number of attribute values associated with a user accessing a network-based location. The systems and methods include sorting an index of lists for a plurality of advertisement contracts on the basis of a number of contract term values. The systems and methods include traversing the index of lists to return a set advertisement contracts compatible with the number of attribute values associated with the user. The systems and methods include selecting a given advertisement contract from the set of advertisement contracts compatible with the number of attribute values associated with the user. The systems and methods include presenting an advertisement associated with the given advertisement contract on a display viewable by the user accessing the network-based location.

摘要： A method for indexing advertising contracts for rapid retrieval and matching in order to match only the top N satisfying contracts to advertising slots. Descriptions of advertising contracts include logical predicates indicating weighted applicability to a particular demographic. Descriptions of advertising slots also contain logical predicates indicating weighted applicability to particular demographics, thus matches are performed on the basis of a weighed score of intersecting demographics. Disclosed are structure and techniques for receiving a set of contracts with weighted predicates, preparing a data structure index of the set of contracts, receiving an advertising slot with weighted predicates, and retrieving from the data structure only the top N weighted score contracts that satisfy a match to the advertising slot predicates. Various disclosed cases include predicates presented in conjoint forms and in disjoint forms, and techniques are provided to consider indexing and matching in cases of both IN predicates and NOT-IN predicates.
