Publication number: 20210019622Abstract: A user device can send, to a server, a request for a set of documents likely to be opened by a user, determine a client-suggested document to present to the user and a potential motive for the user to open the client-suggested document, receive a suggestion message from the server, the suggestion message including a set of documents likely to be opened by the user and potential motives for the user to open documents in the set of documents, and present, on a display of the user device, visual representations of the client-suggested document, the potential motive for the user to open the client-suggested document, multiple documents included in the set of documents, and the potential motives for the user to open the multiple documents in the set of documents.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2020Publication date: January 21, 2021Inventors: Alan Green, Cayden Meyer, Julian Gibbons, Alexandre Mah, Divanshu Garg, Reuben Kan, Michael Smith, Sandeep Tata, Alexandrin Popescul

Publication number: 20180189399Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for identifying and characterizing signals contained in a data stream. One of the methods includes: obtaining an historical time distribution of event counts associated with a topic for a relevant time period; extracting a predictable portion of the historical time distribution of event counts to produce a residual event count time distribution including residual event counts at successive times; determining a residual triggering threshold based on the residual event count time distribution; and taking an action when a residual event count exceeds the residual triggering threshold. The action can include providing a notification to a user of a spike in event counts associated with the topic.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2016Publication date: July 5, 2018Inventors: Alexandrin Popescul, Matt Colen, Vladimir Ofitserov

Patent number: 8290986Abstract: Techniques are provided for generating quality measures for items, including web pages, based on a “random searcher” behavior model. The random searcher behavior model takes into account “implicit” links between items, instead of or in addition to the explicit links. After identifying the implicit links between items, the implicit links may be used as the basis for generating quality measures for the items to which the implicit links point. A variety of types of implicit links are described. To facilitate the generation of quality measures for items based on implicit links, a graph of the implicit links may be constructed in a manner similar to a webgraph.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2007Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Assignee: Yahoo! Inc.Inventors: Alexandrin Popescul, Clifford A. Brunk, Nadav A. Zimak, Kostas Tsioutsiouliklis

Patent number: 8108390Abstract: A system is described for targeting data to a site referenced on a page based on a condition. The system may include a processor, a memory, and an interface. The memory may be operatively connected to the processor and the interface and may store a data, a site, a condition, and a page containing content. The interface may be operatively connected to the memory and the processor and may communicate the page to a user. The processor may identify the data, site, condition, and page containing content. The processor may add the data to the page if the content of the page satisfies the condition.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2006Date of Patent: January 31, 2012Assignee: Yahoo! Inc.Inventors: Eren Manavoglu, Alexandrin Popescul, Byron Dom, Cliff Brunk

Patent number: 7941436Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for identifying a keyword that is a novel concept or anomaly based on prior search results for the keyword. Advertisements may be sold for the keyword, or the keyword may be purchased or recommended for purchase based on anticipation of increased future searches on the keyword.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2006Date of Patent: May 10, 2011Assignee: Yahoo, Inc.Inventors: Alexandrin Popescul, Clifford A. Brunk, Byron Dom

Patent number: 7809705Abstract: An improved system and method is provided for determining web page quality using collective inference based on local and global web page information. A classification engine may be provided for classifying a web page using local features of a seed set of web pages and global web graph information about the seed set of web pages. A dual algorithm based on graph regularization formulated as a well-formed optimization solution may be used in an embodiment for applying collective inference for binary classification of the web page using the local web page information and global web graph information of a web page, the local web page information and global web graph information of an authoritative set of web pages, and the local web page information and global web graph information of a non-authoritative set of web pages.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2007Date of Patent: October 5, 2010Assignee: Yahoo! Inc.Inventors: Byron Edward Dom, Alexandrin Popescul, Tong Zhang

Patent number: 7680775Abstract: Methods and systems for generating query and result-based relevance indexes are provided. For one embodiment, a plurality of queries is received from a plurality of users. Each query of the plurality of queries is measured based on one or more metrics. The measured data of each query is stored. The queries are associated into topical query categories. A performance of a first query category is calculated based on at least one metric of the one or more metrics. A metric data request for a select category is received from a client. Lastly, the stored measured data of the selected category is transmitted to the client in response to the metric data request.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2005Date of Patent: March 16, 2010Assignee: IAC Search & Media, Inc.Inventors: Alan Levin, Kaushal Kurapati, Tomasz Imielinski, Apostolos Gerasoulis, Alexandrin Popescul
