Patent number: 9754035Abstract: A system can provide unique user metrics associated with a node in a hierarchy and the node's decedents in real time. This can occur by merging sketches of the node and its decedents to form a merged sketch, and retrieving the unique user metrics from the merged sketch. The sketches and the merged sketch may each be a separate data form, such as a hash. The hierarchy may include an online content taxonomy and the sketches of each node may include unique user metrics associated with the node, such as user interaction metrics associated with a category of content of the node. The system may build sketches for the nodes of a hierarchy, associate each sketch with its ancestor sketches, invert the associations, tie corresponding descendant sketches of an ancestor sketch based on the inversions, and merge the descendant sketches with their ancestor sketches to generate the merged sketches.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2014Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: Excalibur LP, LCCInventors: Supreeth Rao, Sunil Kumar Gupta, Chetan Nadgire

Patent number: 9661100Abstract: Software on a content-aggregation website obtains a resource associated with a podcast from a website publishing the podcast and stores it e resource on the content-aggregation website. The software adds the resource as a leaf node to a taxonomy generated by the content-aggregation website. The addition is based on data associated with the podcast. The non-leaf nodes in the taxonomy are categories of content. The software determines that a user of the content-aggregation website is qualified as to at least one category that includes the resource as a leaf node. The determination is based at least in part on feedback from the user that includes a viewing or listening history for the user. Then the software serves the resource to the user in a content stream published by the content-aggregation website, based at least in part on a personalization score associated with the resource.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2014Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: Yahoo!

Publication number: 20160321281Abstract: A system may measure the virality of content items on a network. The virality may be measured for Internet content using indices. Indices may be generated that represent the share or news worthiness of content. An indexer may monitor the content items and generate a score which may be used to identify which content items are most likely to receive a user access request or referral from the remote server. A logic generator may display visual elements as graphical representations of the index score.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2016Publication date: November 3, 2016Applicant: Yahoo!

Publication number: 20150066646Abstract: An advertising and data analysis platform may need to mine through vast amounts of data to come up with insights into advertising effectiveness, and measure and improve the effectiveness of advertising reach. Distributed network data analytics may be applied to ad matching/targeting, such that an in-memory cluster computing environment may be used with advertising data. For example, HADOOP may be utilized for distributed processing of the vast amounts of data and the HADOOP distributed file system (HDFS) is used for organizing communications and storage of that data. Satellite clusters or nodes may be generated that also utilize HDFS. For example, a SPARK or SHARK satellite cluster may be arranged to further utilize the HDFS of the HADOOP clusters.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2014Publication date: March 5, 2015Applicant: Yahoo!
