Abstract: A system and method enable exploration of cold ads in an online information system. Cold ads are ads that are new to the system and do not yet have reliable click through rate (CTR) estimates or click probabilities. The method and system selectively boost the click probabilities of cold ads to increase their likelihood of participating in and winning an auction so that the cold ad get more impressions, but without adversely affecting revenue in a production environment when cold ads are introduced.

Abstract: In various examples, a virtualized computing platform for advanced computing operations—including image reconstruction, segmentation, processing, analysis, visualization, and deep learning—may be provided. The platform may allow for inference pipeline customization by selecting, organizing, and adapting constructs of task containers for local, on-premises implementation. Within the task containers, machine learning models generated off-premises may be leveraged and updated for location specific implementation to perform image processing operations. As a result, and using the virtualized computing platform, facilities such as hospitals and clinics may more seamlessly train, deploy, and integrate machine learning models within a production environment for providing informative and actionable medical information to practitioners.
