Publication number: 20200210420Abstract: The present teaching relates to method, system, and programming for evaluating expressions. An expression indicative of conditions and metadata associated therewith is obtained. A determination is made as to whether the expression corresponds to a modified version of an earlier expression based on the metadata. In response to a determination that the expression is the modified version of the earlier expression, a query associated with the modified expression is transmitted to a forecasting cluster so that the modified expression is to be evaluated by the forecasting cluster. In response to a determination that the expression does not have a corresponding earlier expression, the expression is evaluated.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2018Publication date: July 2, 2020Inventors: David Guzman, John McClean, Nikita Sapozhnikov

Publication number: 20190066129Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for determining an estimate of available user impressions on a network, comprising receiving a request for an estimate of available user impressions for viewing one or more media elements on a network, the request comprising one or more viewer demographic group limitations. A request may be received to include deterministic users and probabilistic users in the estimate of available user impressions. A number of deterministic users may be determined based on query results from a deterministic user data set. A number of probabilistic users may be determined based on query results from a probabilistic user data set, and the estimate of available user impressions may be determined based on the number of deterministic users and the number of probabilistic users.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2017Publication date: February 28, 2019Applicant: Oath Inc.Inventors: John McClean, Tony Finn, Jiji Sasidharan

Patent number: 10063601Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus are provided for identifying clients or consumers of one or more controlled resources within a computing environment (e.g., a data center, a computing cluster). The resources may be controlled via the enforcement of quotas, wherein different clients have different quotas for the controlled resource(s). A client associated with a given call to a resource is identified using a tuple formed from identifiers of multiple services in the call stack, such as a first service (e.g., a front-end or user-facing service) and an immediate service (e.g., a final service in the stack prior to receipt of the call at a gateway, broker, or other entity that manages access to the controlled resources).Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2016Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Yan Yu, John A. McClean, Brent D. Miller, Edward J. Kreps

Publication number: 20170272541Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus are provided for locally enforcing quotas on resources within a computing environment (e.g., a data center, a computing cluster) that includes multiple brokers, gateway servers, or other entities that control access to the resource(s). Instead of using global access statistics provided by all gateways, each server individually allows or denies requested access to a resource based on whether the requesting client has already exceeded its quota (or would exceed its quota if the request is approved). A client associated with a given call to a resource may be identified using a tuple formed from identifiers of multiple services in the call stack, such as a first service (e.g., a front-end or user-facing service) and an immediate service (e.g., a final service in the stack prior to receipt of the call at a gateway, broker, or other entity that manages access to the controlled resources).Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2016Publication date: September 21, 2017Applicant: LinkedIn CorporationInventors: Edward J.
