Abstract: A system for adjusting reserve price for impressions of non-guaranteed delivery (“NDG”) advertising auctions includes a processor configured to retrieve a reserve price set by a publisher for an impression that is fillable by eligible advertisements to be streamed to users in a display content stream; and to retrieve user engagement information for users that engage the eligible advertisements. A statistical analyzer applies a statistical function to the user engagement information of an identified advertisement of the eligible advertisements, to generate a user engagement statistic for the identified advertisement related to a user engagement level. A reserve price adjuster dynamically adjusts the reserve price for the identified advertisement responsive to a value of the user engagement statistic, where the adjusted reserve price for the identified advertisement is different than the reserve price for at least another of the eligible advertisements based on different user engagement levels for each.

Abstract: Method, system, and programs for data processing. In one example, a record is received. The record is separated into multiple partitions. Each partition is submitted to an iterative pipeline, wherein the iterative pipeline comprises two or more processing stages that are run in parallel and one of the multiple partitions passes through one of the two or more processing stages in one iteration. The multiple partitions are passed through two or more processing stages. The partitions that have passed through each of the two or more processing stages are merged.

Abstract: A tracking system comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored therein data representing instructions executable by a programmed processor for monitoring a database is provided. The storage medium includes instructions for storing a plurality of link identifiers in a database, each link identifier associated with a content address identifier and instructions for receiving a current shortened content address with an appended link identifier from a requesting user. The storage medium further includes instructions for determining a requested content address identifier associated with the current shortened content address and instructions for determining if the tracking system has previously received any previous shortened content address associated with the requested content address identifier from the requesting user. The storage medium also includes instructions for creating a new link identifier for the requesting user only when the tracking system has not previously received any previous shortened content address associated with the requested content address identifier from the requesting user.

Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting expiration time of an article include receiving the article for a pre-planned event. The article is analyzed to identify one or more attributes. The article is matched to an event identifier using the article attributes. The event identifier is pre-defined and stored in an event database. The event identifier acts as an index to the event database for obtaining event characteristics of the pre-planned event. The article attributes are examined to identify event phase indicators that correlate to a specific event phase of the pre-planned event. The expiration time of the article is computed based on the specific event phase identified for the pre-planned event. The expiration time is used to rank the article and for considering assigning the article to a content pool of articles that is selected for publishing for the specific event phase of the pre-planned event.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for recording and replaying user sessions in browser based applications includes initiating a user session as a result of a user accessing an application in a web browser. The computer-implemented method also includes attaching an event handler to the application as a replacement for an original event handler. Further, the computer-implemented method includes executing the event handler in response to an event, wherein the event is a plurality of user actions performed during the user session. Furthermore, the computer-implemented method includes receiving the plurality of user actions as inputs to the application. Moreover, the computer-implemented method includes recording the plurality of user actions and replaying the plurality of user actions recorded at a later time.
