Abstract: This application relates to apparatus and methods for automatically detecting attacks to advertisement systems. In some examples, a computing device trains a machine learning process based on a training dataset. The training dataset may be an identified portion of a website session dataset that includes a lower percentage of malicious data caused by attacks than other portions, or may include no malicious data. Once trained, the computing device generates features from a website session dataset for a customer, and applies the trained machine learning process to the generated features to detect malicious data within the website session dataset for the customer. Further, the computing device may filter the website session data to remove the detected malicious data, and may store the filtered website session data within a data repository. The computing device may provide the filtered website session data to a recommendation system to generate item recommendations for the customer.

Abstract: The application describes generation of a data structure that enables comparison of any diamond to any other diamond. The data structure is generated via a sampling process and a computer system for acquisition of diamonds of a valid statistical sample having a predefined sample size. The process comprises tabulating the frequencies that diamonds of various grade combinations are available in an overall population of diamonds, then using a bidding process described herein to acquire a valid statistical sample of diamonds. The data for the sample of diamonds are then inputted into a Linear Programming and Mixed-Integer optimizer configured to sort all diamonds of the sample into sets with a median that is a minimal distance from the median on a scarcity basis, subject to various constraints, such as the number of diamonds in each set and a minimum total carat weight.

Abstract: The systems and methods disclosed herein can increase the speed and ease with which a user can discover compatible replacement parts for a specified model of a product by automatically determining when the user is interested in replacement parts. A replacement part system can conclude that a user is looking for replacement parts based on the user's search queries, the user's browsing behavior, or the user's prior purchases. By automatically deducing an intention to purchase a replacement part, the replacement part system can make it easier for a user to locate suitable replacement parts. In addition, the replacement part system can be configured to tailor listing set of replacement parts search results it provides to a user. The set of search results can be tailored based on a number of criteria to increase the speed with which the user finds a compatible replacement part.
