    Abstract: Software on a content-aggregation website obtains a resource associated with a podcast from a website publishing the podcast and stores it e resource on the content-aggregation website. The software adds the resource as a leaf node to a taxonomy generated by the content-aggregation website. The addition is based on data associated with the podcast. The non-leaf nodes in the taxonomy are categories of content. The software determines that a user of the content aggregation website is qualified as to at least one category that includes the resource as a leaf node. The determination is based at least in part on feedback from the user that includes a viewing or listening history for the user. Then the software serves the resource to the user in a content stream published by the content-aggregation website, based at least in part on a personalization score associated with the resource.

    Abstract: A system and method for identifying optimal system architectures for a reference application are provided. The system and method comprise executing a reference application and a plurality of test applications on a current system architecture and sampling performance data for each of the applications. The performance data is used to compute an application signature for each application. A similarity element is derived from the application signatures that illustrates the similarity between each application and every other application. Using a similarity threshold and an algorithm, a subset of test applications that are similar to the reference application are derived.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a system, method, and non-transitory computer readable storage medium for predicting future messages. A processor receives a message sent to a user operating a client device, analyzes the message in light of previously identified patterns and scores assigned to scanned messages, determines a future message that should be received by the client device based on the received message, and transmits an item of information based on the determined future message.

    Abstract: A system stored in a non-transitory medium executable by processor circuitry is provided for generating sponsored verbs and contexts. The system includes interface circuitry for receiving a search query from a user device and query processing circuitry for identifying search results comprising entity search result objects and non-entity search result objects related to the search query. Targeting circuitry determines a set of verb keywords associated with the search result objects and analytics circuitry selects one or more sponsored verbs for at least one entity or non-entity search result. Display logic circuitry is communicatively coupled to the interface circuitry and dynamically generates interface elements for each of the one or more sponsored verbs, and displays, in response to the search query, the interface elements as a sub-component of the at least one entity or non-entity search result.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed which allow shifting inventory to fulfill guaranteed delivery advertisement contracts. Inventory may be allocated from a supply of unallocated inventory to one or more advertisers in accordance with guaranteed delivery agreements. Inventory may be reserved for the one or more advertisers from the remaining supply of unallocated inventory. Inventory may then be allocated to an additional advertiser by using unallocated inventory or shifted inventory, or a combination of unallocated inventory and shifted inventory. The shifted inventory is shifted out of the allocation for the first advertiser and the shifted inventory is replaced by the reserve inventory for the respective advertiser.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for automatically pausing advertisements based on user attention includes rendering a digital video to a user, in response to the user initiating the digital video through a web multimedia player. The computer-implemented method also includes streaming an advertisement to the user once the user begins to watch the digital video and monitoring the user attention as the user watches the advertisement. The user attention is monitored based on keystrokes and mouse movements. Further, the computer-implemented method includes detecting one or more changes in the user attention. Furthermore, the computer-implemented method includes pausing the advertisement automatically at instance of detecting the one or more changes. Moreover, the computer-implemented method includes detecting the one or more changes that directs the user attention to the paused advertisement and resuming streaming of the advertisement.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for providing automated recommendations of real-world locations, such as businesses, for users to visit based at least in part on historical location-preference information. The historical location-preference information used by the recommendation system may include the historical location-preference information of the person that requests the recommendation, other people explicitly identified as participants by the requestor, and/or other people implicitly determined to be participants. The historical location-preference information may be explicit, such as “check-ins” or reviews, or implicit. Implicit participants may be identified in a variety of ways, including social network relationships and the context in which the recommendation request is submitted.
