  • Patent number: 12130869
    Abstract: A system and method identifies activity data that is related to activity of a plurality of users of a gaming platform. The activity data is used by the gaming platform to perform a gaming process. The system and method identifies first data of the activity data based on a first characteristic. The first data is a subset of the activity data. The system and method determines a number of times that the first data of the activity data meets a first condition. The system and method responsive to determining that the number of times that the first data of the activity data meets the first condition satisfies a first threshold, modifies the activity data by removing the first data from the activity data. The system and method performs the gaming process using the modified activity data.

  • Patent number: 11720576
    Abstract: A method includes identifying a search term and obtaining historical data indicative of a number of times a game was selected from search results corresponding to search queries using the search term and indicative of a number of times the selected game was played by one or more users for at least a threshold amount of time. The method further includes generating a score based on the historical data. The score is associated with the search term and the selected game.

  • Patent number: 10853375
    Abstract: A system and method that identifies a search term used in search queries of a collaboration platform is disclosed. The system and method obtain historical data associated with the search term. The historical data includes first data indicative of a number of times a content item has been returned in search results responsive to the search queries using the search term. The historical data includes second data indicative of a number of times the content item was selected from the search results and interacted with by users for a threshold amount of time. The system and method generate a score for the search term based on the historical data, wherein the score is associated with the search term and the content item.
