Abstract: A crowdsourcing approach is used to collect from contributors, e.g., a large group of consumers, item pricing offered by the sellers from which the contributors have purchased the items. A contributor may provide item pricing information associated with a given store by uploading a receipt from the store, which receipt identifies the item(s) purchased by the contributor and a price for each item purchased, store information, e.g., store name, location, telephone number, etc. A database or other data store may be used to maintain contributor, store and item information. The stored information may identify which store is/are selling which item(s) and at what price(s). A shopping list may be generated, which includes information identifying one or more items and, for each item, the store at which the item(s) may be purchased at the lowest available price relative to other stores. By analyzing consumers' shopping habits, personalized target of ads and/or promotions can be achieved.

Abstract translation: 使用众包方式从贡献者（例如，大群消费者）收集由贡献者从中购买物品的卖家提供的物品定价。 贡献者可以通过从商店上传收据来提供与给定商店相关联的商品定价信息，该收据标识由投稿人购买的商品和购买的每个商品的价格，存储信息，例如商店名称，位置， 电话号码等。数据库或其他数据存储可以用于维护贡献者，存储和项目信息。 存储的信息可以识别哪个商店正在/正在销售哪些物品和什么价格。 可以生成购物清单，其包括识别一个或多个项目的信息，并且对于每个项目，可以以相对于其他商店的最低可用价格购买该商品的商店。 通过分析消费者的购物习惯，可以实现广告和/或促销的个性化定位。

Abstract: Method, system, and programs for estimating interests of a plurality of users with respect to a new piece of information are disclosed. In one example, historical interests of the plurality of users are obtained with respect to one or more existing pieces of information. One or more users are selected from the plurality of users. Historical interests of the one or more users can minimize an objective function over the plurality of users. Interests of the one or more users are obtained with respect to the new piece of information. Estimated interests of the plurality of users are generated with respect to the new piece of information based on the obtained interests of the one or more users.

Abstract: A method for estimating model parameters. The method comprises receiving a data set related to a plurality of users and associated content, partitioning the data set into a plurality of sub data sets in accordance with the users so that data associated with each user are not partitioned into more than one sub data set, storing each of the sub data sets in a separate one of a plurality of user data storages, each of said data storages being coupled with a separate one of a plurality of estimators, storing content associated with the plurality of users in a content storage, where the content storage is coupled to the plurality of estimators so that the content in the content storage is shared by the estimators, and estimating, asynchronously by each estimator, one or more parameters associated with a model based on data from one of the sub data sets.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for situational substitutions in fantasy sports. A server maintains personnel packages received from a client device operated by a user owning a fantasy team that includes a default personnel package and zero or more situational personnel packages of fantasy players. Each situational personnel package includes fantasy players and is associated with a specific situation that might occur within a real life sports game. The server detects a specific real life sports game situation matching the specific situation associated with a situational personnel package. Based on this detection, the server substitutes the fantasy player(s) in the situational personnel package for one or more of the fantasy players in the default package. The server determines a score for the fantasy team based on points accrued by fantasy players in the default personnel package and the substituted one or more fantasy players in the personnel package.
