  • Patent number: 10956470
    Abstract: Facet-based query refinement based on multiple query interpretations is provider through a process that includes receiving a query for querying documents, of a whole document set, that deviate by one or more facet values. The process generates different query interpretations from query text of the query. The process executes the different query interpretations to obtain resulting document sets. For each different query interpretation, the executing executes the query interpretation to obtain a resulting document set corresponding to that query interpretation, and identifies facet values represented in the resulting document set. The process builds and presents to a user a query refinement interface, presenting the different query interpretations and properties of the resulting document sets, as well as, for each of the one or more facet values, and relative to each other, facet value representation of the facet value in each of the resulting document sets.

  • Patent number: 10896239
    Abstract: An online system accesses a content item containing a link to an external landing page. When an opportunity to present content to a viewing user occurs, the system determines a quality metric for the content item. The system further determines, based on the attributes of the external page, a quality metric for the external page. The quality metric for the external page is adjusted based on the quality metric of the content item. The system computes a value score for the content item based on the quality metrics for the content item and the external page. The content item is ranked against other content items for presentation in the opportunity. Content items are selected by the system and sent for presentation to the viewing user.

  • Patent number: 10885047
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments are disclosed for performing data mining. In one embodiment, transaction records are read one at a time. Each transaction record represents a transaction for at least one item and includes an item identifier and a metric value for the item. The number-of-occurrences of at least one candidate item set in the transaction records are counted to generate a total count for the candidate item set. The candidate item set includes one or more items. As the counting proceeds, at least one aggregate metric value associated with the candidate item set is accumulated by summing metric values across the number-of-occurrences for each item represented in the candidate item set. A determination is made as to whether the candidate item set is a frequent item set in the transaction records by comparing the total count to a threshold value.
