  • Adaptive learning methods for selecting page components to include on dynamically generated pages
    Patent number: 9390186
    Abstract: A subset of a set of components is selected for inclusion on a dynamically-generated page within a particular user context. The subset of components is selected based on scores associated with the components in the set. The score of a component is preferably determined based on measurements of user activity resulting from exposures of the components to users in the particular context.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 1, 2015
    Date of Patent: July 12, 2016
    Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Russell A. Dicker, Robert G. Cottrell, Jeremy C. York

  • Adaptive learning methods for selecting page components to include on dynamically generated pages
    Patent number: 9135359
    Abstract: A subset of a set of components is selected for inclusion on a dynamically-generated web page within a particular user context. Each component may, for example, contain content generated by a respective code module or service. The subset of components is selected based on scores associated with the components in the set. The score of a component is preferably determined based on measurements of user activity resulting from exposures of the components to users in the particular context.

  • Adaptive learning methods for selecting web page components for inclusion in web pages
    Patent number: 8965998
    Abstract: A subset of a set of components is selected for inclusion on a dynamically-generated web page within a particular user context. Each component may, for example, contain content generated by a respective code module or service. The subset of components is selected based on scores associated with the components in the set. The score of a component is preferably determined based on measurements of desired user activity resulting from exposures of the components to users in the particular context, and reflects a likelihood that other users within the same context will perform a desired action. The disclosed methods may also be used to select items, such as products, to suggest to users within specific contexts.
