    摘要: Matchmaking processes at online game services often result in players having to wait unacceptably long times to receive a match or immediately receiving a poorly matched session. By using a matchmaking process which dynamically adapts a good balance is achieved between the quality of proposed matches (for example, in terms of how balanced, interesting and fun those matches are likely to be) and the waiting time for potential matches. A matchmaking threshold is specified. When a player seeks a match a waiting time is observed, for example, as to how long that player waits until starting a game or dropping out. Information about such waiting times is used to dynamically update the matchmaking threshold. The update is made on the basis of a relationship between information about the observed waiting time and a target waiting time. Further control may be achieved by using separate matchmaking thresholds and target waiting times for different game categories.

    摘要: Reputation systems have been used to promote trust between participants in activities including online activities such as online market places. Existing online market places provide a reputation system which is a simple cumulative registry of user ratings on a given market place member. However, this simple system is open to abuse in situations where, for example, many positive ratings are given in a fraudulent manner. By modeling both reputation of participants and required reputation of participants an improved reputation system is provided. The required reputation may be thought of as a threshold, referred to herein as a required threshold, which may be used in determining how to update an indication of the reputation of a participant in the activity. The reputation system is able to learn information about required reputation and reputation of participants using an update process which is robust to participants who consistently give feedback of a particular type.

    摘要: Online recommendations are tracked through a forwarding service. The forwarding service can provide such statistics to an ad service, which can provide incentives to the recommending user and a consuming user. Example incentives may include an accumulation of points by the recommending user, a discount to the consuming user if a purchase is made in response to the recommendation, etc. To determine how much of an incentive each participant in the recommendation flow receives, a graph is created to model the recommendation flow and incentives are allocated using a cooperative game description based on this graph that associates each participant with a power index that represents that participants share of the incentive.

    摘要: A publishing engine captures capturing commercial events and other information (collectively, “commercial information”) associated with a first user and automatically notifies other users in the social network of the first user of this commercial information. The publishing engine also notifies one or more search engines of these events and information. Based on this commercial information, the search engine can augment search results of the members of the social network to include historical notifications relating to commercial transactions for similar products and/or services by others in their social network. In this manner, for example, the search engine can provide results directing the searcher to other users in their social network who have purchased such products and/or services.

    摘要: A skill scoring frameworks allows for handicapping an individual game player in a gaming environment in preparation of matching the game player with other game players, whether for building teams or assigning competitors, or both. By introducing handicapping into the skill scoring framework, a highly skilled player may select one or more game characteristics (e.g., a less than optimal racing vehicle, reduced character capabilities, etc.) and therefore be assigned a handicap that allows the player to be matched with lower skilled players for competitive game play. Handicaps may apply positively or negatively a player's skill score during the matching stage. Handicaps may also be updated based on the game outcomes of the game play in which they were applied.

    摘要: Machine learning using relational databases is described. In an embodiment a model of a probabilistic relational database is formed by augmenting relation schemas of a relational database with probabilistic attributes. In an example, the model comprises constraints introduced by linking the probabilistic attributes using factor statements. For example, a compiler translates the model into a factor graph data structure which may be passed to an inference engine to carry out machine learning. For example, this enables machine learning to be integrated with the data and it is not necessary to pre-process or reformat large scale data sets for a particular problem domain. In an embodiment a machine learning system for estimating skills of players in an online gaming environment is provided. In another example, a machine learning system for data mining of medical data is provided. In some examples, missing attribute values are filled using machine learning results.

    摘要: A scalable clustering system is described. In an embodiment the clustering system is operable for extremely large scale applications where millions of items having tens of millions of features are clustered. In an embodiment the clustering system uses a probabilistic cluster model which models uncertainty in the data set where the data set may be for example, advertisements which are subscribed to keywords, text documents containing text keywords, images having associated features or other items. In an embodiment the clustering system is used to generate additional features for associating with a given item. For example, additional keywords are suggested which an advertiser may like to subscribe to. The additional features that are generated have associated probability values which may be used to rank those features in some embodiments. User feedback about the generated features is received and used to revise the feature generation process in some examples.
