  • Patent number: 10585774
    Abstract: A method or apparatus for monitoring a system by detecting misbehaving components in the system is presented. A computing device receives historical data points based on a set of monitored signals of a system. The system has components that are monitored through the set of monitored signals. For each monitored component, the computing device performs unsupervised machine learning based on the historical data points to identify expected states and state transitions for the component. The computing device identifies one or more steady components based on the identified states of the monitored components. The computing device also receives real-time data points based on monitoring the set of signals from the system. For each identified steady component, the computing device examines the received real-time data points for deviation from the expected state and state transitions of the steady component. The computing device reports anomaly in the system based on the detected deviations.

  • Patent number: 10528981
    Abstract: An online system selects advertisements for a user based on characteristics of the user. The online system presents advertisements to the user having targeting criteria satisfied by the characteristics of the user. To increase the number of users eligible to be presented with an advertisement, the online system increases the users eligible to be presented with the advertisement to include users that do not meet targeting criteria included in the advertisement. The online system obtains a percentile of users based on a performance metric associated with the advertisement and determines a cutoff measure of affinity based on the percentile and measures of affinity between various users and the advertisement. A user is eligible to be presented with the advertisement if a measure of affinity between the user and the advertisement is greater than the cutoff measure of affinity for the advertisement.

History data, provided from browser applications residing on users' computers that indicate URLs accessed by the users, is parsed to identify new/previously unknown URLs. The history data also indicates URLs in which there is increased interest based on a number of recent hits as compared to an average number of hits determined over time. Author postings of new URLs to social networking sites and a quality rating of the authors may also be used to identify and filter new URLs. Search indexes are updated with the new and spiking URL data. As such, lag time between posting of new URLs and spiking of URL interest and inclusion of this data in a search index is greatly decreased.

  • Patent number: 10474957
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for forecasting a characteristic information change. Historical characteristic data in at least one computation period and current incremental data of multiple pieces of first characteristic information corresponding to a pre-estimation model is acquired. The current incremental data is used for indicating a ratio of characteristic data on a day immediately before a forecasting day of each of the multiple pieces to the historical characteristic data in the at least one computation period of each of the multiple pieces of first characteristic information. A first change information on the forecasting day of second characteristic information is determined by a forecasting process using the pre-estimation model based on the historical characteristic data and the current incremental data. Based on the first change information, change pre-estimation information on the forecasting day of the second characteristic information is determined to prompt a user to execute a corresponding operation.
