Abstract: Techniques are described herein for enhancing the ranking products using purchase day based time windows. A purchase day based time window is a time window that is defined to include purchase days selected from a series of consecutive days. A purchase day is a day on which a product associated with the time window is purchased. The series of consecutive days includes the purchase days intermixed with non-purchase day(s). A non-purchase day is a day on which the product associated with the time window is not purchased. The purchase day based time window is further defined to not include the non-purchase day(s).

Abstract translation: 本文描述了使用基于购买日的时间窗来增强排名产品的技术。 基于购买日的时间窗口是一个时间窗口，其定义为包括从连续一天连续几天中选择的购买天数。 购买日是与时间窗口相关联的产品购买的日子。 连续一天包括与非购买日混合的购买日。 非购买日是与时间窗口关联的产品未被购买的日子。 基于购买日的时间窗口被进一步定义为不包括非购买日。

Abstract: A method for processing query data is described that includes receiving a query portion from a client over a network. For each of multiple search contexts, a relevance score is determined, based on the query portion. Each search context corresponds to a different set of information against which queries can be executed. Indication of the relevance scores is provided to the client over the network. Determining the relevance score and providing indication are performed prior to an input indicating a complete query or in response thereto. The method may also include associating shortcuts with search contexts, selecting a set of shortcuts based, at least in part, on the relevance scores for the search contexts and the association between the shortcuts and search contexts, and sending the set of shortcuts to the client. The shortcuts include links for accessing a content location associated with the shortcut.

Abstract translation: 描述了一种用于处理查询数据的方法，其包括通过网络从客户端接收查询部分。 对于多个搜索上下文中的每一个，基于查询部分确定相关性得分。 每个搜索上下文对应于可以执行查询的不同信息集合。 通过网络向客户提供相关性分数的指示。 确定相关性得分和提供指示是在指示完整查询或响应于其的输入之前执行的。 该方法还可以包括将快捷方式与搜索上下文相关联，至少部分地基于搜索上下文的相关性分数以及快捷方式和搜索上下文之间的关联来选择一组快捷方式，以及向该客户端发送一组快捷方式 。 快捷方式包括用于访问与快捷方式相关联的内容位置的链接。

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 translation: 可以选择并分组一个或多个消息，并且可以针对该组启动一个或多个组级动作，使得对组中的每个消息执行组级动作。 组中的每个消息共享至少一个属性值。 消息传递用户界面可以包括消息集合的列表以及显示一个或多个消息组的消息组显示部分以及包括用于每个组级动作的可选指示符的组级工具栏。 可以基于消息与先前选择的消息的相似性从消息列表中选择在用户界面的消息列表部分中显示的消息或消息，并且所选择的消息可以是基于共享的 属性值。 可以通过组上采取的单个操作以相同的方式修改属于组的消息。

Abstract: Method, system, and programs for identifying a target metric. In one example, at least one first type of metric computed based on a first period associated with a first length of time is measured for each of a plurality of users. At least one second type of metric computed based on a second period associated with a second length of time is measured for each of the plurality of users. The second length of time is larger than the first length of time. Correlations between each of the at least one first type of metric and each of the at least one second type of metrics are computed with respect to the plurality of users. A target metric is identified from the at least one first type of metric based on the correlations. The target metric is correlated with the at least one second type of metric.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for utilizing natural language to process queries. The method for analyzing a linguistic input may include receiving the linguistic input, the linguistic input including at least one word, accessing prestored language data for a language corresponding to the linguistic input, converting the linguistic input into a text-possibility representations based on the received language data, determining a meaning of the text possibility based on the prestored language data, generating at least one semantic structure corresponding to the determined meaning, and determining an action to perform based on the generated at least one semantic structure. The prestored language data may be converted from multiple formats into one or more formats that can be algorithmically processed by a computational device.
