Abstract: Methods and systems for improved processor efficiency via reductions in repeated calculations are provided. A plurality of candidate sitelinks are identified in response to a search for online content. Each sitelink has associated with it a plurality of candidate creatives with which the sitelink may be presented to the user. The creatives are canonicalized to form clusters of candidate creatives. The sitelinks are also canonicalized. The creatives are matched to the candidate canonicalized sitelinks so as to provide enhanced sitelinks having increased relevance to the user search.

Abstract: A system for transmission of packetized data in a voice activated computer network environment. The system can identify candidate canonicalized digital components that relate to secondary search locations. For each of the candidate canonicalized digital components the system can calculate transmissions scores that are used to select one of the candidate canonicalized digital components for transmission.

Abstract: Methods and systems for enhancing online content with creative text relevant to the online content are provided. A plurality of candidate sitelinks is identified in response to a user search for online content. Each sitelink has associated with it a plurality of candidate creatives with which the sitelink may be presented to the user. The creatives are canonicalized to form clusters of candidate creatives. The sitelinks are also canonicalized. The creatives are matched to the candidate canonicalized sitelinks so as to provide enhanced sitelinks having increased relevance to the user search.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product are provided for conditionally eliminating a memory read request. In use, a memory read request is identified. Additionally, it is determined whether the memory read request is an unnecessary memory read request. Further, the memory read request is conditionally eliminated, based on the determination.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating navigation filters are provided. A target resource is parsed and occurrences of data entries representing archetypal headings and/or archetypal items for a navigation filter are identified in the content of the target resource. A path to each of the identified occurrences is determined and used to construct a query for additional navigation filter headings and/or navigation filter items that have the same path as an identified occurrence. Identified occurrences of archetypal data entries in the target resource and the additional content having the same path as an identified occurrence are used as potential navigation filter headings and/or potential navigation filter items. Navigation filters are generated by associating one or more of the potential navigation filter items with one of the potential navigation filter headings.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus include computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium, including a system for providing content and that includes subsystems. An attribute inference subsystem analyzes content items and tags each content item with attributes that may affect performance and that are related to attribute types selected from a group comprising content concepts, format, included content, semantics or syntax. Attributes can be identified by the attribute inference subsystem or a sponsor of a respective content item. An analysis subsystem evaluates a log of served content items that have been tagged to identify salient attributes related to one or more performance metrics and inferences related to the identified salient attributes. An experiment subsystem automatically creates one or more experiments to substantiate the inferences related to the identified salient attributes.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus include computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium, including a system that includes a synthesis subsystem that automatically creates components for inclusion in a creative. The synthesis subsystem includes one or more modules that receive, as input, crawled content or metadata known or identified by the content serving system, and produce, as an output, a synthesized component for inclusion in a prospective creative. The system further includes an evaluation subsystem that evaluates quality of each of the synthesized components generated by the synthesis subsystem to determine measurable quality as against a baseline quality level.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing navigation filters within content items distributed via a computer network are provided. A navigation filter includes a heading and a plurality of items associated with the heading and can function as a summary of a resource associated with a distributed content item. A described method includes receiving a request for content from a user device, selecting a content item in response to the request, identifying one or more navigation filters associated with the selected content item, generating display data including the selected content item and the one or more navigation filters, and providing the display data for presentation to the user device.
