  • Patent number: 10848809
    Abstract: An online system receives a video-presentation request from a third party system. The video-presentation request comprises a video and a target audience specification for the video. The online system selects a plurality of users as the target audience of the video based on the target audience specification. From the target audience, the online system generates a sample subset of users and determines a sampled video reach count for the subset of users. A sample user who, as determined by the online system, would have viewed the view for at least a threshold duration, is included in the sampled video view count. The online system estimates a total video reach count for target audience by extrapolating the sampled video reach count for the subset of users to the target audience. The total video reach count can be used to determine a parameter for presenting the video on an online system.

  • Patent number: 10650406
    Abstract: An advertiser specifies an advertising campaign along with a budget, a duration and one or more objectives associated with the advertising campaign. An online system presenting advertisements from the advertising campaign determines an interval representing a portion of the duration, an interval budget, and one or more interval objectives. Historical information describing selection and presentation of advertisements by the online system is retrieved, and used to determine one or more filters limiting the number of opportunities to present an advertisement in which advertisements from the advertising campaign are included. The scaling filters may be based on the one or more interval objectives, bid amounts determined for advertisements in the advertising campaign, and bid amounts associated with advertisements previously selected for presentation form the historical data.

  • Patent number: 10621623
    Abstract: An online system scores campaign audiences based on historical scoring data for similar audiences. A third party system selects a target audience and a day on which the target audience should be exposed to a campaign. The online system generates an availability grid and a score grid to determine a score for the target audience. Values in the availability grid are determined based on the availability of exposure time for the target audience on the specified date. Values in the score grid are based on historical scoring data for the same audience. The online system scores the target audience by interpolating between data points in the score grid based on a selected availability from the availability grid.
