A condition established by a content provider, for instance, an advertiser, is compared to the identified values to determine if the condition is satisfied. When the condition is satisfied, one or more content items are identified to the users associated with the structured data sets containing identified values satisfying the condition.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Mayur Datar, Jason C.

Publication number: 20170213252Abstract: The subject matter of this document generally relates to reducing noise in aggregated data using frequency analysis. In some implementations, a system for reducing data noise using frequency analysis includes a data storage device that stores content and a network association processor in data communication with the data storage device. The network association processor aggregates, for a given group, content of one or more additional groups that each have overlapping members with the given group. The network association processor reduces noise in the aggregated content of the one or more additional groups using frequency analysis by determining, for each portion of content in the aggregated content, a frequency of occurrence of the portion of content within the aggregated content and filtering, from the aggregated content, each portion of content that has a frequency of occurrence that is less than a threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2017Publication date: July 27, 2017Inventors: Terrence Rohan, Tomasz J. Tunguz-Zawislak, Jeremiah Harmsen, Sverre Sundsdal, Thomas M. Annau, Megan Nance, Mayur Dhondu Datar, Julie Tung, Bahman Rabii, Jason C. Miller, Michael Hochberg, Andres S. Perez-Bergquist
