  • Patent number: 11256453
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and computer-readable media related to retargeting online advertisement campaign recommendations for advertisements with multiple items or services. Bids may be based on a combined advertisement creative comprising two or more items or services. Dynamically selecting multiple items at bid time using a retargeting model to determine a potential revenue generation amount associated with an event may increase the probability of a conversion event based on the creative that includes the selected items. In some embodiments, a machine-learned retargeting model may be used to select multiple items to be displayed in an advertisement. The retargeting model may be applied to items that were previously viewed by the consumer and may determine a value for each of the items using factors. A bid may be calculated for each of the selected items using the values determined by the retargeting model.

  • Patent number: 6567814
    Abstract: A computer-based method and apparatus for knowledge discovery from databases. The disclosed method involves the user creation of a project plan comprising a plurality of operational components adapted to cooperatively extract desired information from a database. In one embodiment, the project plan is created within a graphical user interface and consists of objects representing the various functional components of the overall plan interconnected by links representing the flow of data from the data source to a data sink. Data visualization components may be inserted essentially anywhere in the project plan. One or more data links in the project plan may be designated as caching links which maintain copies of the data flowing across them, such that the cached data is available to other components in the project plan. In one embodiment, compression technology is applied to reduce the overall size of the database.
