  • Patent number: 11494810
    Abstract: Keyword bids determined from sparse data are described. Initially, a portfolio optimization platform identifies which keywords included in a portfolio of keywords are low-impression keywords. This platform trains a machine learning model to generate bids for the low-impression keywords with historical data from a search engine. In particular, the platform trains this machine learning model according to an algorithm suited for training with sparse amounts of data, e.g., a temporal difference learning algorithm. In contrast, the platform uses different models, trained according to different algorithms than the low-impression keyword model, to generate bids for keywords determined not to be low-impression keywords. Once the low-impression keyword model is trained offline, the platform deploys the model for use online to generate actual bids for the low-impression keywords and submits them to the search engine.

  • Patent number: 11157188
    Abstract: Techniques for processing data may include: receiving a candidate data block; computing a distance using a distance function, wherein the distance is an entropy-based distance and denotes a measurement of similarity between the candidate data block and a target data block; and determining, using the distance, whether to perform data deduplication of the candidate data block with respect to the target data block to identify at least one sub-block of the candidate data block that is a duplicate of at least one sub-block of the target data block. If the distance is less than a threshold, it may be expected to have a matching sub-block between the candidate and target data blocks. The distance may be a difference between entropy values for the candidate and target data blocks. The first entropy value may be used to determine whether to compress or perform partial deduplication for the candidate data block.
