Publication number: 20170286998Abstract: Techniques for affecting display of content may include receiving a request for content to supplement a response to an input initiated by a first user; outputting first content in response to the request, where the first content includes a control feature that is displayable along with the first content, and where the control feature enables the first user to register a negative reaction to the first content; obtaining information relating to the first content based on the negative reaction; identifying second content having one or more characteristics in common with the first content; identifying one or more second users having one or more characteristics in common with the first user; and using the information relating to the first content in determining whether to provide the second content to the one or more second users.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2017Publication date: October 5, 2017Inventors: Bahman Rabii, Omer Gimenez Llach, Brandon M. Pearcy, Nathan P. Lucash

Publication number: 20170213252Abstract: The subject matter of this document generally relates to reducing noise in aggregated data using frequency analysis. In some implementations, a system for reducing data noise using frequency analysis includes a data storage device that stores content and a network association processor in data communication with the data storage device. The network association processor aggregates, for a given group, content of one or more additional groups that each have overlapping members with the given group. The network association processor reduces noise in the aggregated content of the one or more additional groups using frequency analysis by determining, for each portion of content in the aggregated content, a frequency of occurrence of the portion of content within the aggregated content and filtering, from the aggregated content, each portion of content that has a frequency of occurrence that is less than a threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2017Publication date: July 27, 2017Inventors: Terrence Rohan, Tomasz J. Tunguz-Zawislak, Jeremiah Harmsen, Sverre Sundsdal, Thomas M. Annau, Megan Nance, Mayur Dhondu Datar, Julie Tung, Bahman Rabii, Jason C. Miller, Michael Hochberg, Andres S. Perez-Bergquist

Patent number: 9607314Abstract: Systems and methods of evaluating information in a computer network environment are provided. A data processing system can obtain or receive a content placement criterion, such as a keyword, associated with a content item and can determine a quality metric of the content placement criterion. The data processing system can identify a candidate content placement criterion and expand placement criteria associated with the content item to include the content placement criterion and the candidate content placement criterion based at least in part on an evaluation of the quality metric of the content placement criterion. The data processing system can expand placement criteria based in part on a throttling parameter. The data processing system can identify a correlation between a document and the placement criteria to identify appropriate content items for the document.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2016Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Gaofeng Zhao, Yingwei Cui, Hui Tan, Bahman Rabii, Wei Chai

Publication number: 20170061528Abstract: The present disclosure selects third party content based on feedback. A selector identifies several content items including first and second content items (or more) responsive to a request. A machine learning engine determines a first feature of the first content item, a second feature of the second content item, and a third feature of the web page or a device associated with the request. The machine learning engine determines, responsive to the first feature and the third feature, a first score for the first content item based on a machine learning model generated using historical signals received from devices via a metadata channel formed from an electronic feedback interface. The machine learning engine determines a second score for the second content item responsive to the second feature and the third feature. A bidding module determines a price for the first content item based on the first and second scores.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2015Publication date: March 2, 2017Inventors: Shilpa Arora, Colin McCulloch, Niyati Yagnik, Creighton Thomas, Manohar Prabhu, Timothy Lipus, Michael Eugene Aiello, Yi Zhang, Ajay Kumar Bangla, Bahman Rabii, Gaofeng Zhao, Yingweii Cui

Publication number: 20170039288Abstract: Systems and methods of providing information via a computer network are provided. A data processing system can identify a cluster that includes a plurality of online content items having a semantic or user similarity. The data processing system determines a plurality of cluster placement criteria of the cluster, and receives content configured for display with a web page. The content can be associated with the cluster based on the semantic or user similarity. A cluster placement criterion of the plurality of cluster placement criteria can be selected based on a quality metric of the selected cluster placement criterion, and the selected cluster placement criterion can be provided as a supplemental criterion used to select the content for display with the web page.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2016Publication date: February 9, 2017Inventors: Bahman Rabii, Xiaodan Song, Yingwei Cui
