摘要： The present application relates to systems and computer-implemented methods for calculating a suggested market variable associated with an auction of an online advertisement realization opportunity. In some implementations, an optimization procedure may be operated, wherein the optimization procedure may comprise sending an initial market variable associated with one or more auctions to bidding agents; receiving from each of the bidding agents a response market variable associated with the initial market variable; determining according to an auction bidding rule a winning market variable from the response market variables; and substituting the initial market variable with the wining market variable. The optimization procedure may be operated repeatedly until the winning market variable stabilizes. Then the stabilized market variable may be sent to an advertiser as the suggested market variable.

摘要： A computer-implemented method and display advertising server network for serving impression opportunities to a frequency-capped guaranteed delivery contract in a system for delivery of display advertising to a user. The method includes steps for receiving, from a computer, an event predicate and a user ID corresponding to the user, retrieving, from an index engine, a set of eligible frequency-capped contracts, wherein an eligible contract comprises at least one target predicate matching at least a portion of the event predicate, and probabilistically selecting for serving, in a computer, the booked contract having a frequency cap specification, only when the selected frequency-capped contract can be served to the user without violating the frequency cap specification. Exemplary embodiments include generating a pseudo-random number sequence, and then selecting a particular pseudo-random number from the series of pseudo-random numbers, the selected particular pseudo-random number being based on the user ID, a visit count, a URL.

摘要： Search engines and sponsored search auctions are provided that enable the use of different reserve prices corresponding to different advertisement slots on a search results page. In one implementation, a search engine includes a query processor and a sponsored search auction. The query processor is configured to receive a query from an electronic device associated with a user, to determine a plurality of reserve prices corresponding to a plurality of advertisement slots of a search results page, and to determine a plurality of bid prices for the advertisement slots of the search results page corresponding to a plurality of bidders. The sponsored search auction is configured to allocate a bidder or a null (e.g., no advertisement) to each advertisement slot of the search results page, taking into account the plurality of reserve prices associated with the advertisement slots of the search results page.

摘要： The present application provides systems and corresponding methods for creating a delivery allocation plan in a network-based environment. The methods may include receiving and storing advertising contracts and data related to the advertising contracts; constructing a bipartite graph based on the received contract data; annotating each demand node; and receiving impression data and other eligible contract data. Thereafter, the method may include for each impression, calculating a first supply value and for each contract, calculating a first demand value. The first demand value may be used to calculate a second supply value and a delivery allocation may be calculated using the second supply value and the second demand value for each contract.

摘要： An improved method for information retrieval in web query and recommendation systems, where items that are likely unfamiliar to the users of the system, but potentially relevant, are recommended. In a recommendation system having ratings by a plurality of users for a plurality of items, items are assigned to one or more data regions based on item attributes or user activity. Source regions are identified for each of the data regions. For a given user, data regions with which both the user and the user's social network are unfamiliar are identified. Within a given data region, the relevance of items to the user within such regions is evaluated using ratings provided by other users who have entered ratings similar to the user in source regions for the data region. Items receiving the highest relevance score are recommended to the user.

摘要： A system for performing adaptive bidding to secure Internet advertising impressions in an auction. Included are systems for analyzing advertising campaign objectives, including a campaign period, a target number of impressions, a target budget. An exemplary technique defines a bidding agent for performing the adaptive bidding seeking the minimum target spending of the budget. Objective results of the campaign such as average cost per won impression, total campaign duration relative to desired campaign period, and total expenditure relative to campaign budget can be optimized based on an empirically determined forecast. Techniques for adapting bids include statistically modeling winning bids during an exploration bidding phase, performing iterations for adjustment of the bid amounts using learn-while-bid adaptive bidding, learn-then-bid adaptive bidding, and guess-double-adjust adaptive bidding. Bidding tactics, especially those used to identify a minimum target bid and a maximum target bid used in bidding on an exchange are employed, and the results analyzed using statistical models.

摘要： The present application relates to systems and computer-implemented methods for determining a future bidding strategy regarding auctions associated with realization of an online advertisement. In some implementations, a server may be used to determine an optimized bid pacing parameter for an online advertisement based on a current bid pacing parameter associated with the online advertisement and an online advertisement supply information for a time period so that based on the optimized bid pacing, realization of the online advertisement over the time period substantially confirms to a spending strategy associated with the online advertisement during the time period. As such, the systems and computer-implemented methods may allow advertisers to control their spending strategy accurately during an advertising campaign.

摘要： Techniques are provided for use in an auction in which selected content items, or advertisements, of content providers, or advertisers, are selected and served, and in which, for an item served in response to a serving opportunity, contingent upon occurrence of a specified user action, an associated provider's account is charged a first sum and an associated publisher's account is credited a second sum. Performance of particular content items may be explored, such as ones for which little or no historical performance information may be available. Content item selection may be based at least in part on an objective of acquiring learning information that can be used in prediction of future performance of the content item. The associated provider's account may be charged a sum that reflects a learning value component, but the associated publisher's account may be credited a sum that does not reflect a learning value component.

摘要： A method and system for allocating inventory in an Internet environment is provided. A method employed by the system may include generating an inventory pool that represents a number of impressions deliverable to all users, then determining, from multiple past orders for booking impressions, a hierarchy of parameters utilized to target users and a number of impressions deliverable to users characterized by the parameters. The inventory pool may then be partitioned into multiple inventory pools according to the hierarchy, where each inventory pool represents a number of impressions deliverable to users characterized by parameters associated with the inventory pool. The hierarchy of pools may then be stored to a database.
