Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying relevancy scores of a keyword cluster related to an event category for a given time period relative to an event of the event category. Processors identify an event and determine event parameters of the event. Processors determine keyword clusters associated with the event parameters for serving content. Processors generate a relevancy score for each of the keyword clusters over plurality of time periods relative to the event. The relevancy score of a first subset of the keyword clusters is higher during a first time period than a second time period and the relevancy score of a second subset of the keyword clusters is higher during the second time period than the first time period. Processors create, for the event, a data structure including the keyword clusters and the generated relevancy scores for each of the keyword clusters over the time periods relative to the event.

Abstract: An advertising system receives, from a merchant system, marketing information, bidding preferences for auctions for advertising spaces, and a merchant system reservation calendar comprising an availability for the merchant system. The advertising system receives a notice of an auction for an advertising space from an advertising platform. The advertising system determines a first bid for the auction based on the availability of the merchant system, the marketing information, and the merchant system's bidding preferences and transmits the first bid to the advertising platform. The advertising system receives a notice of an incomplete auction from the advertising platform. The advertising system receives, from the merchant system, an updated merchant system reservation calendar comprising an updated availability and determines a second bid for the advertising space auction. The advertising system transmits the second bid to the advertising platform.

Abstract: Systems and methods for adjusting a relevancy score of a keyword cluster—time period—event category combination is provided. Processors can identify an event category associated with relevancy scores. Processors can identify, from a content serving opportunity log, content serving opportunities associated with the event category in which content served in the content serving opportunity is selected based on a keyword cluster associated with the event category. Processors can determine, for each of the identified content serving opportunities, an event for which content was served in the content serving opportunity. Processors can then adjust a relevancy score of the keyword cluster—time period—event category combination based on the performance of the content of the subset of content serving opportunities.
