Abstract: Software running on servers at a website hosting a news service generates a first profile for a user of the news service. The first profile is based at least in part on implicit relevance feedback from the user on content presented by the news service. The software obtains a second profile for the user from a web-searching service. The software creates a score for a candidate item of content. The score is based on similarity of the candidate item to the first profile and similarity of the candidate item to the second profile. Similarity to the second profile measures at least similarity to a plurality of web-search queries and similarity to any titles of any search results resulting from each of the queries. The software then presents the item of content to the user in a content stream served by the news service, based on the score.

Abstract translation: 在托管新闻服务的网站的服务器上运行的软件为新闻服务的用户生成第一个简档。 第一个配置文件至少部分地基于来自用户对由新闻服务呈现的内容的隐含的相关性反馈。 软件从网页搜索服务获取用户的第二个配置文件。 该软件为候选项目的内容创建分数。 分数基于候选项与第一简档的相似性以及候选项与第二简档的相似度。 与第二简档的相似性至少测量与多个网络搜索查询的相似性，并且与每个查询产生的任何搜索结果的任何标题的相似性。 然后，该软件基于该分数将新闻服务所提供的内容流中的内容的内容呈现给用户。

Abstract: A method for identifying story trends includes identifying a set of words in a fixed size data stream based on a subword cache, and electronically determining at least one story trend associated with the set of words and electronically generating a story hash associated with the set of words. The method also includes storing the story hash in a story trend cache and updating the story trend cache according to the story hash, and retrieving one or more popular story topics according to the story trend cache. Machine readable media including program code that causes execution of a method for generating search results also are described.

Abstract: Systems and methods for rewriting queries based on data features are disclosed. A data source contains a history of queries and results associated with the queries. A source query is received and a subset of the data source is extracted that is related to the query. Costs are then associated with the associations of the queries and results, and an absorbed cost is determined for each query. The queries having the lowest absorbed cost are recommended for rewrites.

Abstract translation: 公开了基于数据特征重写查询的系统和方法。 数据源包含与查询相关联的查询和结果的历史记录。 接收到源查询，并提取与查询相关的数据源的子集。 然后，成本与查询和结果的关联相关联，并且为每个查询确定吸收的成本。 建议使用具有最低吸收成本的查询进行重写。

Abstract: Event logs in a video advertisement insertion network are processed to remove duplicate entries. One or more ad servers are continuously generating new event entries and writing them to a database. The entries are randomized such that generated time contiguous entries are distributed over multiple storage locations, thereby facilitating resource scaling and a uniform use of storage and computing resources. The distributed entries are read from the storage locations using sequential reads of chunks of the entries and processed to remove duplicate entries.

Abstract translation: 视频广告插入网络中的事件日志将被处理以删除重复的条目。 一个或多个广告服务器正在连续生成新的事件条目并将其写入数据库。 条目被随机化，使得生成的时间连续条目分布在多个存储位置上，从而有助于资源缩放和统一使用存储和计算资源。 使用顺序读取条目块从存储位置读取分布式条目，并处理以删除重复条目。

Abstract: A server generates a unique URL corresponding to a data payload, provides that unique URL for exposure to mobile devices of different types, and when the server receives a request for the unique URL from a mobile device, the server uses a payload-type to mobile-device-type mapping to generate a device-type-specific URI that includes the data payload, formatted for the device type. The server delivers the device-type-specific URI to the mobile device to invoke an application for handling the data payload.

Abstract translation: 服务器生成对应于数据有效载荷的唯一URL，提供用于暴露于不同类型的移动设备的唯一URL，并且当服务器从移动设备接收到唯一URL的请求时，服务器使用有效载荷类型来移动 - 设备类型映射以生成包含针对设备类型格式化的数据有效负载的设备类型特定的URI。 服务器将设备类型特定URI提供给移动设备，以调用应用程序来处理数据有效负载。

Abstract: A modular search object framework can provide modular search results including sponsored entity search results. The framework includes circuitry that outputs an interactive entity section based on an online search. The interactive section or at least parts of the section may be sponsored by one or more entities. The interactive section includes a plurality of moveable visual objects, such as cards that can be shuffled, flipped, or swiped around. The visual objects and features associated with the objects may be monetized.
