Patent number: 9135343Abstract: Systems and methods to perform efficient searching for web content using a search engine are provided. In an illustrative implementation, a computing environment comprises a search engine computing application having an essential pages module operative to execute one or more selected selection algorithms to select content from a cooperating data store. In an illustrative operation, the exemplary search engine executes on a received search query to generate search results. Operatively, the retrieved results can be generated based upon their joint coverage of the submitted search query by deploying a selected sequential forward floating selection (SFFS) algorithm executing on the essential pages module. In the illustrative operation, the SFFS algorithm can operate to iteratively add one and delete one element from the set to improve a coverage score until no further improvement can be attained. The resultant processed search results can be considered essential pages.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2010Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Darko Kirovski, Ashwin Swaminathan, Cherian Varkey Mathew

Publication number: 20090157494Abstract: Systems and methods that account for payment of sales commission received by the merchant. An audit component simulates user behavior in purchasing items from the merchant in an advertising system, which encompasses interaction among a merchant (who advertise on websites/blogs); a trusted party (who monitors activities of the merchant), an advertisement publisher, and an advertisement consumer (e.g., buyer of the merchandise offered by the merchant).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2007Publication date: June 18, 2009Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Darko Kirovski, Cherian Varkey Mathew, Ashwin Swaminathan

Publication number: 20090150296Abstract: Seller's reputation quantification technique embodiments are presented that quantify in monetary terms a risk of dissatisfaction to a potential buyer of a product or service from a seller in an on-line consumer market. Generally, this involves computing the monetary sales limit for the seller. This monetary sales limit represents an amount, which if a sum of the current prices of all the products and services currently offered by the seller is equal to or less than the amount, there would not be a significant risk to the buyer of being dissatisfied with the product or service. Given this, a risk of a potential buyer's dissatisfaction with a product or service purchased from the seller in view of a price the buyer wants to pay is assessed. The assessed risk is then provided to the potential buyer in the form of one or more risk indicators.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2007Publication date: June 11, 2009Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Darko Kirovski, Ashwin Swaminathan, Renan Goncalves Cattelan, Cherian Varkey Mathew
