Abstract: This disclosure relates to artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning networks for predicting or determining demand metrics across multiple channels. An analytics platform can receive channel events from multiple channels corresponding to geographic areas, and channel features related to demand conditions in the channels can be extracted from the channel events. During a training phase, the channel features can be accumulated into one or more training datasets for training one or more demand prediction models. The one or more demand prediction models can be trained to predict or determine demand metrics for each of the channels. The demand metrics can indicate or predict demand conditions based on the current conditions in the channels and/or based on future, predicted conditions in the channels. Other embodiments are disclosed herein as well.

Abstract: Systems and methods for enhancing search results for improved readability are provided. A search result is identified using a set of query terms. The search result may be first-party content or third-party content. The search result includes a first textual portion and a second textual portion. Each of the set of query terms that appear in the first textual portion are highlighted in the first textual portion. Each of the set of query terms that appear in the second textual portion but not in the first textual portion are highlighted in the second textual portion. A query response including the highlighted search result is generated and provided to a client device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus include computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium, including a method for providing content. One or more content items are identified that are eligible to be presented in response to received requests in accordance with one or more selection criteria. One of the content items includes one or more parameters that can be varied. A range is identified over which a parameter of the one or more parameters is variable, and a subset of the range is identified, wherein the subset is less than the entire range. A request for content is received that is satisfied by the content item. The content item is prepared, including randomly selecting a value for the parameter that is within the subset of the range. At least one performance aspect associated with the prepared one content item is monitored.
