Abstract: Information regarding display of selected content items in assigned slots is provided. The information is based on a selected template that includes areas for groups of slots for related content items, such as content items that are targeted to a common targeting object. Candidate content items, identified based on targeting or other distribution information, are assigned to selected slots to determine at least part of the information regarding display of the selected content items.

Abstract: A search system server routes a given query to devices that create a response to the query. For query processing, a mixer server determines a sequence in which various servers are called, formats requests, and aggregates data obtained from the various servers. A query reviser creates various different queries that differ from, but are based on, the given query and prior queries submitted by a same user that submitted the given query or location information associated with the user. Portions of content are incorporated into the search results page including content selected based on the given query and based on the various different queries. A visual representation of the various portions of content within the search results page is generated. A display of a client device that submitted the given query is updated to present the search results page including the visual representation of the various portions of content.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for enhancing selecting relevant and diverse advertisements. In one aspect, a method includes receiving an initial query, selecting one or more additional queries relating to the initial query, including selecting additional queries having a greatest commerciality, identifying one or more content items for each of the additional queries, the one or more content items forming a content block, and providing a content block and an associated additional query to a client device to be displayed along with search results associated with the initial query.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods and computer readable media for optimizing a data integration process. In embodiments, a system can be configured to represent the processing of a data record that includes attributes, and to use that representation to determine an optimal processing of that data record. In embodiments, the system represents the processing of a data record as an operator graph comprising nodes and edges, where each node is an operator node that represents an operator for implementing at least one logical operation on at least one of the attributes and each edge between a pair of nodes represents the movement of data between the nodes. In embodiments, each operator node includes one or more operator metrics (e.g. operator cost metrics and operator quality metrics). In embodiments, the system determines optimal processing of the data record by determining a best path within the operator graph.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for enhancing selecting relevant and diverse advertisements. In one aspect, a method includes receiving an initial query, selecting one or more additional queries relating to the initial query, including selecting a first additional query and a second diverse additional query, identifying one or more content items for each of the additional queries, the one or more content items forming a content block, and providing a content block and associated additional query to be displayed at a client device along with search results associated with the initial query.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for enhancing selecting relevant and diverse advertisements. In one aspect, a method includes receiving an initial query, selecting one or more additional queries relating to the initial query, identifying one or more content items for each query, forming a content block, balancing each content block, and providing, for each query, a content block along with search results associated with the initial query for display or other processing by a device.
