  • Patent number: 9449049
    Abstract: Techniques for returning estimated value of search keywords of an entire account include, for the entire account, obtaining one or more selected search keywords and their respective forecast periods and parameter settings. An estimated value of a respective search keyword in the respective forecast period is forecasted. Based on stored historical data and parameter settings of the respective search keyword, the estimated value of the respective search keyword is modified to obtain a modified estimated value. The modified estimated value of each search keyword is added up to generate an estimated value of the entire account. The estimated value of the entire account is returned to a client terminal from which the entire account is logged in. The present disclosure modifies the respective search keyword's estimated value so that the estimated value of the entire account satisfies the expected value of the client.

  • Patent number: 8849738
    Abstract: The present disclosure introduces a method, an apparatus and memory of predicting a user behavior number of a word for reducing the amount and the complexity of operation, saving the consumption of the equipment, and improving the accuracy and reliability of predictions. In an embodiment, a historical data sequence of the user behavior number of a word is converted from a time domain to a frequency domain. Based on the converted frequency domain, each estimated cycle and its effect rate value of the historical data sequence are ascertained. If the historical data sequence is stable, an average value of user behavior numbers of some historical data points before a prediction point is calculated as a user behavior number of the prediction point. Otherwise, the user behavior number is calculated based on a selected main cycle and a selected singularity.

  • Publication number: 20110231399
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and system for clustering. The method includes: vectorizing a plurality of readable files to obtain a plurality of file vectors corresponding to the multiple readable files; extracting a total characteristic vector based on the file vectors; and clustering the readable files based on a ranking result of a respective similarity degree between the total characteristic vector and each of the file vectors. The present disclosure also provides a method and system for clustering webpages. An application of the methods or systems described in the present disclosure reduces the number of times of comparison of similarity degrees between file vectors, and further reduces the resulting burden on system resources. This advantageously results in reduced usage of CPU and memory, reduced run time of clustering and improved performance of clustering.
