  • Publication number: 20220138809
    Abstract: When a content item is initially served to a client device, the content item may result in an impression effect. As time elapses, the initial impression may fade. Such a decay of the impression effect may be predicted through the use of a predictive model. In some implementations, one or more impression effect parameters may be accessed and used with the predictive model to determine a decay factor or predicted value that incorporates the impression effect decay for a content item. A value, such as a score, may be determined based on the decay factor or the predicted value and a bid associated with a content item. A content item may be selected based on the determined value and data to effect presentation of the content item may be provided.

  • Publication number: 20210142122
    Abstract: Classifying wafers using Collaborative Learning. An initial wafer classification is determined by a rule-based model. A predicted wafer classification is determined by a machine learning model. Multiple users can manually review the classifications to confirm or modify, or to add user classifications. All of the classifications are input to the machine learning model to continuously update its scheme for detection and classification.

  • Patent number: 10417286
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure are directed generally to facilitating content selection by identifying low impact criteria. In some implementations, a data processing system accesses a data structure storing, in a memory element, a plurality of impression records. Each impression record can include one or more features and an indication of user interest corresponding to a content impression. The data processing system can identify a combination feature based on at least two of the features. The data processing system can execute a statistical model (e.g., logistic regression model) using the impression records and the combination feature. The data processing system can determine a weight for the combination feature. Responsive to the weight being less than a threshold, the data processing system can transmit an indication to disable the combination feature for selecting content associated with the plurality of impression records.

  • Patent number: 9619822
    Abstract: Systems and methods of identifying user propensity to access a web page via a communication network are provided. A data processing system can receive a request for subject matter to provide for display with the web page. A referring URL identifying a source web page can be identified from the request. Based on the source web page, a score can be assigned to the request. A quality metric can indicate a likelihood that a user associated with the request will access content provided for display with the web page, and this quality metric can be adjusted based on the score.

  • Publication number: 20170055145
    Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to filtering content items from a set of eligible content items based on a device filter. A mobile application may be incompatible with one or more devices based on an operating system, an operating system version, hardware configurations of the one or more client devices, etc. To remove incompatible content items, a device filter can be generated by comparing a set of required features for the corresponding mobile application with data from a data structure identifying several known mobile devices and associated sets of features. The set of required features for the mobile application may include a minimum operating system version, one or more eligible countries, and/or one or more features of a mobile device. The device filter can include a set of identifiers for the known mobile devices that are incompatible with the mobile application based on the comparison.

  • Patent number: 9575690
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include systems and methods for auto-tiering multiple file systems across a common resource pool. Storage resources are allocated as a sub-LUN auto-tiering (SLAT) sub-pool. The sub-pool is managed as a single virtual address space (VAS) with a virtual block address (VBA) for each logical block address of each data block in the sub-pool, and a portion of those VBAs can be allocated to each of a number of file systems. Mappings are maintained between each logical block address in which file system data is physically stored and a VBA in the file system's portion of the virtual address space. As data moves (e.g., is added, auto-tiered, etc.), the mappings can be updated. In this way, multiple SLAT file systems can exploit the full resources of the common SLAT sub-pool and maximize the resource options available to auto-tiering functions.
