Abstract: A personalized content recommendation provisioning method and system are described, according to various implementations. A token value allocation engine optimizes the allocation of content consumption revenue to publisher systems and recommendation source systems (e.g., the systems that provide the recommended content for presentation with the publisher system's native content) based on a model calculating and applying a life time or long term value (LTV) metric. The LTV metric for revenue is based on a detection of a how often a user system engages with content derived from or associated with a publisher system.

Abstract: A personalized content recommendation provisioning method and system are described, according to various implementations. In an implementation, a user profile is established for each of multiple users within an electronic data environment (e.g., the Internet). The user profile may include information collected via a registration of the user and information identifying content consumed by the user based at least in part on information collected by an associated tracking cookie. The user profile may be used to generate a personalized grade associated with each of multiple candidate content recommendations in a high-quality candidate content recommendation pool, determine a content recommendation scope associated with a user in view of a personalized grade associated with each of the plurality of candidate content recommendations, and display the content recommendation scope to the user.

Abstract: Identifying personalized content recommendations for users in an electronic environment is disclosed. User data comprising information relating to web-based content consumption of multiple users is collected. Multiple user cluster types associated with one or more interest categories are established. A feature vector is generated for each user for each of the multiple user cluster types. Based on the generated feature vectors, the user are grouped into multiple clusters. A grade is generated for each of a plurality of candidate recommendations for each of the clusters. Based on the generated grades, one or more personalized content recommendations for each of the clusters are identified.

Abstract: A server computer receives data indicating a data feed to use to create a feed-based advertisement to represent content, which is to be advertised, of a content provider. The server computer receives the data feed that is associated with the content to be advertised and generates the feed-based advertisement using one or more data elements associated with an item in the data feed. The server computer provides the feed-based advertisement to a user device.

Abstract: A server computer system identifies a user and a destination document. The server computer system identifies recommendations that correspond to the user and the destination document. The server computer system determines grades for the recommendations based on the user and/or the destination document. The server computer system determines serving probabilities for the recommendations based on the proportions of the grades and provides the serving probabilities to serve the recommendations.

Abstract: A server computer system receives campaign data from one or more content providers. The server computer system determines assignments of recommendation opportunities in documents to recommendations based on the campaign data. The server computer system ranks the recommendations based on the assignments, allocates the recommendations to the documents based on the rankings of the recommendation opportunities, and determines pricing for the recommendations based on the allocations.

Abstract: A method for automated mapping of key terms to documents. Preferably a feature vector is generated for the key terms. Preferably such feature vectors are automatically generated by analyzing a corpus, but may optionally be generated manually, or using a combination of automated and manual processes. Next, preferably such feature vectors are weighted. Such weighting may optionally be performed manually, but more preferably is performed automatically. Next, a feature vector is optionally and preferably generated for the document, which preferably includes words and phrases that were extracted from the document but may optionally include words and phrases that do not appear in the document, such as synonyms and related. Each element in the document feature vector is preferably weighted. The feature vectors of the key terms and the feature vectors of the documents are compared, in order to produce relevancy scores, which are used to produce mapping between documents and key terms.

Abstract: Identifying impressions relating to a target publisher that are related to or derived from a user interaction with a content recommendation source. User activity data for multiple users is collected during an activity window. Based on the collected user activity data, an initial interaction by a user with a source is identified and used to establish a source-related user session beginning at a time of the initial interaction and ending after a session period. A set of impressions (e.g., page views) by the user relating to the target publisher occurring during the user session is identified. The identified set of impressions is associated with the user session. A source-related user activity measurement is calculated based on the identified user sessions and associated impressions occurring during the activity window.

Abstract: Identifying collaboratively filtered content recommendations based on user activity data collected from users in an electronic environment is disclosed. The user activity data includes information relating to user-engagement indications of the users. Multiple connection pairs are identified based on the user activity data, with each connection pair including a potential target document and a candidate recommendation document. A connection strength is determined for each of the identified connection pairs. An overall grade is generated for a set of candidate connection pairs of the plurality of connection pairs, wherein the overall grade is based on the respective connection strength associated with each of the set of candidate connection pairs. One or more filtered recommendations for provisioning in connection with the target document based on a comparison of the overall grade associated with each of the set of candidate connection pairs.
