Publication number: 20120030011Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for estimating a conversion rate associated with a digital ad. Generally, an ad provider and/or an ad campaign management system detects an action of a user associated with a digital ad. The ad provider and/or ad campaign management system detects a subsequent action of the user after detecting the action of the user associated with the digital ad and determines an amount of time between the action of the user associated with the digital ad and the subsequent action of the user. The ad provider and/or ad campaign management system then estimates a conversion rate associated with the digital ad based on the determined amount of time. In some implementations, a model is utilized to estimate a conversion rate associated with a digital ad based on dwell times even when the ad provider and/or ad campaign management system has little or no conversion data associated with the digital ad.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2010Publication date: February 2, 2012Applicant: Yahoo! Inc.Inventors: Benjamin Rey, Ashvin Kannan

Patent number: 7962479Abstract: The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for generating one or more related queries with respect to a given query. The method may comprise receiving a query comprising one or more terms, generating a corpus of candidate reformulations and identifying one or more queries or terms from the corpus of candidate reformulations related to the received query. One or more related queries are generated on the basis of the identified one or more queries or terms from the corpus of candidate reformulations.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2007Date of Patent: June 14, 2011Assignee: Yahoo!

Publication number: 20110040616Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for adjusting an advertiser bid, in a sponsored search auction, in connection with one or more advertisements to be served in connection with keyword queries, the bid being associated with one or more keyword phrases. The bid is adjusted based on a predicted conversion rate associated with an advertisement served in connection with a match between a keyword query and the one or more keyword phrases. A bid may be decreased for a match with a lower predicted conversion rate than a comparison predicted conversion rate such as a normalized average predicted conversion rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2009Publication date: February 17, 2011Applicant: Yahoo!

Patent number: 7814086Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for determining semantically related terms based on sequences of search queries. Generally, a semantically related term tool examines search logs to associate search queries with a user submitting the search query. The semantically related term tool establishes a plurality of sequences of search queries, each sequence of search queries comprising one or more search queries associated with a common user and relating to a common concept. The semantically related term tool receives one or more seed terms and determines one or more terms related to the received seed terms based on the established plurality of sequences of search queries.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2006Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignee: Yahoo! Inc.Inventors: Kevin Bartz, Vijay Murthi, Benjamin Rey, Shaji Sebastian

Patent number: 7752220Abstract: A system and method for receiving a query and determining candidate alternate queries. A query may be parsed into concepts and then candidates for alternate terms may be determined for either the whole query or the determined concepts. Candidates are scored for their respective similarity to the original query. After scoring, at least one candidate is chosen and may be used as a possible alternate query choice for a user or used to serve bidded advertisements to the user.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2005Date of Patent: July 6, 2010Assignee: Yahoo! Inc.Inventors: Tina Weyand, Rosie Jones, Benjamin Rey

Patent number: 7689554Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for identifying one or more queries related to a given query. The method of the present invention comprises receiving a query written according to one or more writing systems of a language with multiple writing systems. A candidate set of queries written according to one or more writing systems of the language with multiple writing systems is identified. A score is calculated for the one or more queries in the candidate set indicating the similarity of the one or more queries with respect to the query received.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2006Date of Patent: March 30, 2010Assignee: Yahoo! Inc.Inventors: Rosie Jones, Kevin Bartz, Benjamin Rey

Publication number: 20090198671Abstract: A system for generating subphrase queries. The system includes a sequence label modeling engine and a regression modeling engine. The sequence label modeling engine generates a plurality of subphrase queries by indexing through each token in a search phrase and labeling each token based on an association to other tokens in the search phrase. The regression modeling engine scores each subphrase query at least partially on the association according to a scoring model. The regression modeling engine identifies the subphrase query with the highest score which may then be used for identifying a sponsored search list or a web search item.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 5, 2008Publication date: August 6, 2009Applicant: Yahoo! Inc.Inventors: Ruofei Zhang, Haibin Cheng, Yefei Peng, Benjamin Rey, Jianchang Mao

Patent number: 7552112Abstract: A system is described for discovering associative intent queries based on search web logs. The system may mine one or more user sessions comprising data from search engine query logs and generate query pairs based on the data. The system may use statistics and morphology to identify relationships among the query pairs. From these relationships, the system may distinguish the associative intent query pairs from the similar and unrelated intent query pairs.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2006Date of Patent: June 23, 2009Assignee: Yahoo! Inc.Inventors: Pradhuman Jhala, Benjamin Rey
