  • Patent number: 11922456
    Abstract: Data clean rooms provided for subscribers to advertising analysis services include data regarding advertising impressions, selections, view or conversion events, and memberships of audience segments, and computing functions or capacities for processing the data in an anonymized fashion. When advertisements are presented to customers, and interactions by customers (e.g., impressions, views, clicks, conversions or others) with goods or services are detected, data regarding the interactions may be aggregated and stored. When queries on behalf of an advertiser are identified, data associated with the queries may be retrieved and stored in a data clean room for processing or analysis. Anonymized responses to the query may be returned to the customer or serve as basis for one or more advertising events.

  • Patent number: 11176210
    Abstract: Techniques for improving dynamic content retrieval are described. In an example, a system may receive a request for content. The request may be associated with an access by a computing device to a network document. The system may determine a context associated with the network document based on the request. The content may be pre-computed based on historical accesses to a network resource. The system may determine a match between the context and a pre-computed context that is associated with content and may select the content from a set of candidate content based on an intent description of a content provider and historical behavior data of visitors to the network resource. The intent description may be associated with a presentation of the content at the network resource. The system may provide an identifier of the content. The identifier may be usable to present the content at the computing device.

  • Patent number: 11023554
    Abstract: Techniques for improving dynamic content retrieval are described. In an example, a computer system may receive, from a content provider device, an intent description associated with providing content at a network resource. The computer system may determine a goal and a predicate based on the intent description and may select a workflow from a plurality of workflows based on the goal and the predicate. The workflow may be associated with determining a context of a network document based on historical behavior data of visitors to the network resource and on a taxonomy of the network resource. The computer system may determine the context based on an execution of the workflow, the historical behavior data, and the taxonomy. The computer system may store an association between the context and the content. The association may be usable to select the content for presentation in a network document of the network resource.

  • Patent number: 9965312
    Abstract: Debugging capabilities for software running in a cloud-computing environment are disclosed. A controller identifies which machines in the cloud are running instances of software to be debugged. An agent is deployed onto the machines in the cloud to facilitate communication with the developer's machine. When the developer wants to debug software on the agent's machine, the agent downloads and installs a monitor onto the machine. The agent configures the machine for remote debugging via the monitor. A security mechanism ensures that only authenticated developers can access the monitor and the remote machine for debugging. A controller automatically determines which machines can be debugged, updates a list of processes available for debugging on the machines, and identifies how to connect a developer's debugging client to the machines. The controller permits remote debugging only upon request from an authenticated developer and only for those processes that the developer is permitted to debug.

  • Patent number: 9697021
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes compiling one or more segments of code during run-time of a process executing at one or more processors of a computer system. The compilation produces a high-level intermediate representation of the one or more segments of the code. The high-level intermediate representation is modifiable by the process, without executing the high-level intermediate representation, to generate a modified high-level intermediate representation that is executable by the process.

  • Patent number: 9052913
    Abstract: A method includes, during compilation of a portion of source code at a compiler, initiating token resolution with respect to a token included in the portion of source code. A static context and a dynamic context of the compiler are queried to identify one or more lookup results of the token. A particular lookup result is selected to resolve the token based on one or more semantic rules of the compiler. The particular lookup result is selected independently of whether the particular lookup result is sourced from the static context or from the dynamic context. The method includes resolving the token based on the selected particular lookup result.

  • Publication number: 20060179171
    Abstract: A first data set (1008) indicative of characteristics of a first computing device such as a server is compared and analyzed against a second data set (1012) indicative of characteristics of a second computing device. Computer-readable instructions operate on the data sets and are capable of determining at least one characteristic in the first data set that is different from a substantially similar characteristic in the second data set. A visual depiction (1004) on an output device (1000) provides an indication of the at least one difference so that a user can easily make a consolidation analysis. Preferably, the first and second data sets are stored in a relational database for analysis and the characteristic are compared by way of SQL queries on the relational database.
