  • Patent number: 10796339
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for generating a content page with markup language corresponding to user interface widgets. A user interface widget can generate markup language to be incorporated into the content page. The markup language can be analyzed to determine whether it contains a content identifier. The content identifier can be embedded within a portion of a URL. An analysis of the content identifier can be performed to determine whether the content identifier corresponds to expired content.

  • Patent number: 10666716
    Abstract: Optimization preferences are defined for optimizing execution of a distributed application. Candidate sets of application parameter values may be tested in test execution environments. Measures of performance for metrics of interest are determined based upon the execution of the distributed application using the candidate sets of application parameter values. Utility curves may be utilized to compute measures of effectiveness for metrics of interest. A multi-attribute rollup operation may utilize the computed measures of effectiveness and weights to compute a grand measure of merit (MOM) for the candidate sets of application parameter values. An optimized set of application parameter values may then be selected based upon the computed grand MOMs. The optimized set of application parameter values may be deployed to a production execution environment executing the distributed application.

  • Patent number: 10346858
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for assigning user interface widgets to page slots associated with a page template. In response to a request to generate a content page, content placement requests are then received from user interface widgets. The page slots are associated with a placement value indicating a value of the page slot relative to other page slots in the page template. The highest ranked user interface widgets according to an effectiveness metric or placement score are scheduled for placement in the content page.

  • Patent number: 10192186
    Abstract: Described is a dynamic web platform configured to provide content rendered with one or more rendering systems. The rendering systems and the modules making up the rendering modules may interact with one another by way of declarative data. Administrators may configure the platform using the declarative data. The declarative data may express operational parameters, business rules, and so forth and may be modified while the platform is operating. The modules in the rendering system may be loosely bound, allowing for concurrent operations, dynamic changes to what content is to be rendered, and so forth.

  • Patent number: 10089654
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for assigning user interface widgets to page slots associated with a page template and detecting expired content generated by the widgets. A user interface widget can generate markup language for placement within a page slot. The markup language can be analyzed to determine whether it contains a URL incorporating a content identifier. An analysis of the content identifier can be performed to determine whether the content identifier corresponds to expired content.

  • Patent number: 9928224
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for assigning user interface widgets to page slots associated with a page pipeline. In response to a request to generate a content page, content placement requests are then received from user interface widgets. The page slots are associated with a placement value indicating a value of the page slot relative to other page slots in the page template and can be weighted based upon their location in a page pipeline. The highest ranked user interface widgets according to an effectiveness metric or placement score are scheduled for placement in the content page.

  • Patent number: 9858356
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for automated page generation using value-based recommendations are disclosed. A plurality of content recommendations are determined for a web page using one or more recommenders. Individual ones of the content recommendations are assigned to individual ones of a plurality of interaction elements. Respective effectiveness values for individual ones of the interaction elements are determined based at least in part on the individual ones of the content recommendations assigned to the individual ones of the interaction elements. Based at least in part on the respective effectiveness values for the individual ones of the interaction elements, individual ones of the interaction elements are assigned to respective portions of the web page. The web page is generated based at least in part on the individual ones of the interaction elements assigned to the respective portions of the web page.

  • Patent number: 9390168
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for generating recommendations based at least in part on keywords associated with users. In some embodiments, among others, a system includes at least one computing device and a recommendation generator executable in the at least one computing device. The recommendation generator comprises logic that generates a plurality of pools of keywords based at least in part on a plurality of behavioral histories. Each pool corresponds to a behavioral history of a user across a plurality of domains. The recommendation generator also comprises logic that clusters at least a number of the keywords in a cluster across at least two pools including the same keyword and logic that recommends an item based at least in part on the cluster of keywords.
