  • Patent number: 11722286
    Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a control channel configuration method, a base station, and a terminal device. The method includes: determining, by a base station, a configuration of a time-frequency resource unit from at least two configurations of a time-frequency resource unit of a control channel; and sending, by the base station, indication information to a terminal device, where the indication information is used to indicate the configuration of the time-frequency resource unit, and the at least two configurations of a time-frequency resource unit include a first configuration and a second configuration. In the embodiments of this application, the base station can flexibly configure the time-frequency resource unit of the control channel. In addition, flexibly configuring a time-frequency resource unit can reduce a probability that time-frequency resource units of different structures are blocked, thereby reducing complexity of detecting the control channel by the terminal device.

  • Publication number: 20230214430
    Abstract: Systems are configured for processing user queries to generate search results that are contextually relevant for the user based on customer values associated with a corresponding customer schema associated with the user and that are indexed in a customer value index. When search queries are received, they are processed to identify customer values associated with the user context and to perform an initial search query based on the initial search query terms. The systems also generate additional altered search queries to perform contemporaneously, based on the initial search terms and restructured/reformatted based on the customer values. Resulting supplement search results are obtained for the additional altered search queries, which are merged with the initial search results. The merged results are then ranked and provided to the user. These systems facilitate obtaining search results that are more relevant than results obtained by conventional systems.

  • Patent number: 11675873
    Abstract: There are provided methods, devices, and computer program products for similarity determination. In a method, first and second access data are obtained for a first and a second group of users who access a first and a second website, respectively. A first and a second jump path are generated for the first and second groups of users based on the first and second access data, respectively. The first and second jump paths describe access history for the first and second groups of users among webpages in the first and second websites, respectively. A similarity is determined between the first and second websites based on the first and second jump paths. Here, access data are used for similarity determination and unvisited webpages are not considered in the similarity determination. Therefore, the computation workload may be lowered, and the noise caused by the unvisited webpages may be reduced.

  • Patent number: 11610225
    Abstract: An online system optimizes for longer attribution window conversions with an additive decomposition model by predicting the probability that a predefined action happens given an impression/click. The online system receives a content item from a content provider for display to a target user, and predicts a probability that a target user will convert given an interaction with the content item by the target user. The online system computes, by a first trained model, a short-term conversion probability of a conversion event happening within a first conversion window after the interaction. The online system computes, by a second trained model, a long-term conversion probability of the a conversion event happening within a second conversion window after the interaction, the second conversion window being longer than the first conversion window. The online system computes the conversion probability given the interaction based on the short-term conversion probability and the long-term conversion probability.
