Abstract: Approaches provide for or automatically optimizing sponsored content campaigns for a sponsored content provider for a particular consumption category across different content publisher networks. For example, performance data for sponsored content campaigns can be used to train a model for a consumption category to determine allocation scores that quantify a relationship between target audiences and the consumption category. In response to a content placement request to initiate a sponsored content campaign associated with the consumption category, allocation scores can be determined and used to dynamically determine an allocation of resources to appropriate audiences or segments based at least in part upon the trained optimization model. A campaign template can be generated that includes the target audience(s), sponsored content, and respective budget allocation, and any other information for the campaign.

Responsive to the communication device receiving an input from a vehicle system indicative of a potential service need, the communication device requests an input from the driver of the vehicle pertaining to a desired characteristic of a service provider that can address the potential service need. Responsive to the communication device receiving the input from the driver, the communication system determines a plurality of service providers that (i) can address the potential service need and (ii) has the desired characteristic. The communication device communicates a list of potential service providers to the driver and, responsive to a selection by the driver of a selected service provider, the communication system sets a navigation system of the vehicle to the selected service provider.

Abstract: An online system receives a discount offer from a merchant and displays the offers to users. Some of the discount offers provide for a discount that becomes valid when the discount offer is displayed to the user and remains valid for an offer duration. To implement these discount offers, a timestamp representing the time at which the discount offer is displayed is recorded and encoded. The encoded timestamp is provided to the merchant system when the user makes a purchase. The merchant extracts the recorded timestamp from the encoded timestamp and compares the recorded timestamp to the time of the purchase. If the time elapsed between the timestamp and the purchase is less than the offer duration, then the merchant system applies the discount to the purchase.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for incremental bidding for electronic advertisements. A computing device generates, for a user during a first time period, first randomized bids for available impression opportunities, the first randomized bids based upon an estimated value and a first random factor and using a context of bid requests. The computing device transmits the first randomized bids to a remote device. The computing device determines whether interaction events associated with impression opportunities occurred. The computing device estimates second randomized bids based upon an estimated value and a second random factor and using the context. The computing device estimates a relative incrementality of a bidding policy based upon the second randomized bids over a bidding policy based upon the first randomized bids, and optimizes the bidding policy based upon second randomized bids. The computing device changes a production bidding policy based upon the optimized policy.
