Abstract: Systems and methods for cold-start and continuous-learning via evolutionary explorations are provided. The system includes a database including serving data. A computer server is in communication with the database, the computer server is programmed to: obtain an advertisement opportunity including user data and page data; extract semantic features from the user data, the page data, and a campaign; determine a score that measures a similarity between the advertisement opportunity and the campaign using the semantic features; assign a set of weights to the semantic features when determining the score during a first time period; collect click data on the campaign while using the set of weights to run the campaign in the first time period; update the set of weights using the click data by minimizing a logistic loss function; and assign an updated set of weights to the semantic features during a second time period.

Abstract: A system and method are directed towards providing non-requested content to a mobile terminal based on characteristics of, and tracked usage of the mobile terminal to request content through an online portal service, which provides access to content in multiple subject areas. A mobile user profile is created from the characteristics and patterns of the tracked usage. The tracked usage information includes the time, location, frequency at which the content was requested. Based on the mobile user profile information, content related to previously requested content is provided to the mobile terminal upon a trigger that is related to the requested content. The trigger event may include the mobile terminal returning to a location from which certain content was previously requested. The non-requested content may further be based on a related general user profile that indicates usage of an alternate electronic device to access content through the portal.

Abstract: To restore context information about a clip that was sampled from a broadcast program, the clip is identified by matching a digital fingerprint of the clip against a database of known digital fingerprints taken from broadcast programs. If the clip can be identified, it is then associated with information about the matching broadcast program. The loss of context data about the clip obtained from a broadcast program is thus remedied, enabling media content available online to be more useable for a variety of purposes, such as media searching, automatic broadcast attribution, and targeting advertisements.

Abstract: One or more messages may be selected and grouped and one or more group-level actions may be initiated for the group, such that the group-level action is performed on each message in the group. Each message in a group shares the at least one attribute value. A messaging user interface may comprise a listing of the set of messages and a message group display portion that displays one or more message groups and a group-level toolbar comprising a selectable indicator for each group-level action. A message, or messages, shown in a message list portion of the user interface may be selected from the message list based on similarity of the message(s) to previously selected messages, and the selected message(s) may be grouping based on shared attribute values. The messages belonging to a group may be modified in the same way via a single action taken on the group.

Abstract: Method, system, and programs for providing enhanced query term suggestions. Candidate query terms may be obtained based on a prefix of incomplete query terms received. The candidate query terms may be ranked, at least partially based on, their similarities with respect to query terms previously entered in the same search session as the incomplete query term. In some implementations, for determining such similarities, feature vectors and/or signatures may be stored in association with query terms. Similarity between a candidate query term and query terms in the same search session as the incomplete query term may be determined using the feature vectors and/or signatures associated therewith.
