Patent number: 8560293Abstract: Content items are selected to be displayed on a portal page in such a way as to maximize a performance metric such as click-through rate. Problems relating to content selection are addressed, such as changing content pool, variable performance metric, and delay in receiving feedback on an item once the item has been displayed to a user. An adaptation of priority-based schemes for the multi-armed bandit problem, are used to project future trends of data. The adaptation introduces experiments concerning a future time period into the calculation, which increases the set of data on which to solve the multi-armed bandit problem. Also, a Bayesian explore/exploit method is formulated as an optimization problem that addresses all of the issues of content item selection for a portal page. This optimization problem is modified by Lagrange relaxation and normal approximation, which allow computation of the optimization problem in real time.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2012Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Yahoo!

Publication number: 20130262243Abstract: Techniques for socialized commercial incentives are provided. A commercial incentive is displayed in a page displayed by a browser. A user interface element is displayed in association with the commercial incentive that enables a function to be performed with respect to the commercial incentive. The user interface element is determined to have been interacted with by a user. In response, the function associated with the commercial incentive is performed. The function may be a saving of the commercial incentive to a list of commercial incentives for the user, a displaying of the list of commercial incentives, a generating of a digitized version of the commercial incentive, or may be another function.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2012Publication date: October 3, 2013Applicant: YAHOO!

Patent number: 8065619Abstract: A method and apparatus for customizing content presented to individual users or user segments is provided. There may be three components, a web portal and toolbar component, a modeling component, and a scoring component. The web portal and toolbar component presents content items and collects data. The web portal and toolbar component generates user event data based on the user actions. The user event data is forwarded to the modeling component. The modeling component generates content scoring functions based on user event data and attributes of content items. Content scoring functions may be unique to individual user segments. The content scoring functions based on content features generate probability a content item will be viewed. The scoring component decides which content items are placed in a portal. The scoring component uses the scoring functions generated by the modeling component to rank content items in real time.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2007Date of Patent: November 22, 2011Assignee: Yahoo!
