Abstract: Techniques for automated targeting of content components to users are described. Content components are selected and exposed through renderable pages for viewing by a population of users. User activity following exposure is tracked in an effort to identify which types of users (as characterized by certain attributes) are likely to act on the content components. The users are segmented into groups according to the attributes and the segments are fed back to aid in selection of content components to be exposed to the users. This enables more granular targeting of the content components to those users who exhibit the attributes that define the specific groups.

Abstract translation: 描述了内容组件自动定位到用户的技术。 通过可渲染的页面来选择并公开内容组件，以供用户群体观看。 跟踪曝光后的用户活动，以确定哪些类型的用户（由某些属性表征）可能对内容组件起作用。 用户根据属性将它们分组成一组，并且反馈片段以帮助选择要暴露给用户的内容组件。 这样可以将内容组件更精细地定位到展示定义特定组的属性的用户。

Abstract: Content is distributed electronically to a plurality of users. As the users consume the content, they may annotate the content to indicate corrections, comments, or other information. Annotations are collected at a server and reported back to content creators, such as authors, publishers, translators, editors, etc.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for selecting components to include in portions of a displayable file. Selecting the components may include determining an order of the components for each portion of the displayable file. The components' order for a given portion may be based on a score for each component, where a component's score is based on an estimated value and standard error associated with the component. The component to include in each portion of the displayable file may be selected based at least in part on the determined component order for each portion and a predetermined priority of each portion.

Abstract translation: 系统和方法被提供用于选择要包括在可显示文件的部分中的组件。 选择组件可以包括确定可显示文件的每个部分的组件的顺序。 给定部分的组件顺序可以基于每个组件的分数，其中组件的分数基于与组件相关联的估计值和标准误差。 可以至少部分地基于所确定的每个部分的组件顺序和每个部分的预定优先级来选择要包括在可显示文件的每个部分中的组件。

Abstract: A user device displays portions of an electronic publication for a user to read. The user device tracks the user's reading behavior of the portions of the electronic publication. The user device then selects a problem from a group of pre-generated problems for the user based on the user's reading behavior and provides the selected problem to the user.

Abstract: A customized questionnaire is generated for a content item, such as an eBook, audio file, video file, and so on. Upon an occurrence of predetermined event, the user is presented with the customized questionnaire soliciting responses to questions and/or rating evaluations relating to the content item. The responses may include reviews, ratings, recommendations of similar items, discussion topics, and other things. Information from the responses may be collected and associated with the content item to build a user-driven index.

Abstract: Electronic content items such as electronic books are enhanced by identifying citations within the content items, identifying sources of the objects of the citations, and associating the citations with such sources so that readers of the content items can easily purchase or otherwise obtain the citation objects. The citations may be updated as new products become available or information related to the products changes over time.

Abstract: A decision tree is provided as a machine learning classifier to predict a user attribute, such as a geographical location of a user, based on a network address. More specifically, the decision tree is constructed via machine learning on a set of sample data that reflects a relationship between a network address and a user attribute of a “known user” whose profile information is recognizable. For a given network address, the decision tree can be used as a machine learning classifier to predict the most likely user attribute of a potential user. With the predicted attribute, a network service can target a group of potential users for various campaigns without recognizing the identities of the potential users.
