    摘要: The present invention introduces methods for allocating: overlapping inventory. In the system of the present invention overlapping inventory problems are reformulated as a network transport problem. Specifically, different inventory types are represented as inventory network nodes. Similarly, corresponding inventory requests are also represented as request network nodes. The different inventory network nodes corresponding to inventory that can satisfy inventory requests are coupled to the request network nodes associated with those inventory requests. A source node is then coupled to the inventory network nodes and a destination node is coupled to the request network nodes. A flow limit of the available inventory is assigned to the connections between the source node and the inventory network nodes. Finally, inventory requests that must be satisfied are represented as flow minimums between the request network nodes and the destination network node. The transport network problem is then solved to solve the corresponding overlapping inventory allocation problem.

    摘要: An improved system and method for pricing of overlapping impression pools of online advertisement impressions for advertising demand is provided. An inventory of online advertisement impressions may be grouped in impression pools according to attributes of the advertisement impressions and advertisers' requests for impressions targeting specific attributes may be received. An optimal price may be computed for each of the impression pools of the inventory of online advertisement impressions using dual values of an optimization program. The values of a dual variable for prices of impression pools on the supply constraints of an objective function for allocating the impression pools may be extracted and iteratively increased on those impression pools which have a dual value greater than the book rate value.

    摘要: An improved system and method for web destination profiling for online population-targeted advertising is provided. A web destination profiler may be provided for generating web destination profiles. Traffic may be analyzed at a particular web destination in order to understand the population visiting the web destination. The analysis of user traffic, including differentiated clickstream data, may be applied for determining known characteristics of a web destination profile. Moreover, unknown characteristics of a web destination profile may be determined using a variety of techniques including inferring characteristics by modeling traffic flow through other web destinations, estimating characteristics from other web destination profiles by predicting traffic flow through other web destinations, propagating characteristics to a web destination profile by smoothing a joint distribution of characteristics of other web destination profiles, and so forth. Web destination profiles may be used by applications such as an online application for population-targeted advertising.

    摘要: An improved system and method for allocating and pricing impression pools of advertisement impressions with frequency capping is provided. An upper bound on the number of impressions which an impression pool can supply to satisfy advertiser demand may be generated and used as a constraint to allocate impressions to satisfy advertiser requests. Either a deterministic upper bound may be generated or a stochastic upper bound may be generated on the number of impressions which an impression pool can supply to satisfy advertiser demand, and this upper bound may be used as a constraint to allocate impressions to satisfy advertiser requests for advertisement placements on the display advertising properties. In an embodiment, frequency caps, display frequencies, arrival rates of unique users, and departure rates of unique users may be used to compute the upper bounds on the number of impressions which an impression pool can supply to satisfy advertiser demand.

    摘要: An improved system and method for generating a maximum utility slate of advertisements for online advertisement auctions is provided. Various utility factors for each advertisement that may be a candidate in a slate of advertisements may be applied within a framework in order to generate a maximum utility slate of advertisements. Either backward or forward dynamic programming may be applied to recursively evaluate the utility of subslates of advertisements in order to generate a maximum utility slate of advertisements. In an embodiment, a network with directed edges and associated costs may be defined, and the longest path may be found in the directed network for constructing a maximum utility slate of advertisements. Various utility factors may be applied for different objectives of an auctioneer and the framework presented may be extended for revenue ordering, exclusion of bidders, ordering slates according to first and second price utilities, and so forth.

    摘要: An improved system and method for scheduling online keyword auctions subject to budget constraints is provided. A linear programming model of slates of advertisements may be created for predicting the volume and order in which queries may appear throughout the day for use in allocating bidders to auctions to optimize revenue of an auctioneer. Each slate of advertisements may represent a candidate set of advertisements in order of optimal revenue to an auctioneer. Linear programming using column generation with the keyword as a constraint and a bidder's budget as a constraint may be applied to generate a column that may be added to a linear programming model of slates of advertisements to determine optimal revenue to an auctioneer. Upon receiving a query request, a slate of advertisements that may provide optimal revenue to the auctioneer may be output for sending to a web browser for display.

    摘要: A method, system, and data structure are provided which facilitate matrix multiplication with advantageous computational efficiency. The invention, as variously implemented as a processing system, method, or data structure in a recording medium such as a memory, has applicability to numerous fields, including linear programming, where a great deal of multiplication of large, sparse matrices is performed. The method of the invention includes the steps of creating a first submatrix block from non-zero terms of a sparse matrix, such that all of the terms within a given column of the submatrix block are form a respective column of the sparse matrix, creating a corresponding second index submatrix block of the same dimensions as the first block, such that each term of the second block identifies the position of the corresponding term of the first block within the sparse matrix, in terms of a row and column index. Finally, the method includes reordering terms of the first and second blocks correspondingly, as necessary to produce a final configuration within the first and second blocks such that all of the row indices within any given row of the second block are distinct.
