Abstract:
Disclosed is a system and method for selectively delivering shared information. The disclosed systems and methods enable a sending user to decide what context of information is to be shared, in that a sending user can determine when and where information is shared. This enables increased social engagement towards relevant information. Additionally, this enables a vast opportunity for commercial opportunities, whereby advertisements can be served contingent upon a consumer's context, and/or only when the product or service offered to the consumer is relevant.
Abstract:
Briefly, embodiments disclosed herein may relate to digital content selection, and more particularly to weighted pseudo-random digital content selection for use in and/or with online digital content delivery, such as online advertising, for example.
Abstract:
A method for estimating model parameters. The method comprises receiving a data set related to a plurality of users and associated content, partitioning the data set into a plurality of sub data sets in accordance with the users so that data associated with each user are not partitioned into more than one sub data set, storing each of the sub data sets in a separate one of a plurality of user data storages, each of said data storages being coupled with a separate one of a plurality of estimators, storing content associated with the plurality of users in a content storage, where the content storage is coupled to the plurality of estimators so that the content in the content storage is shared by the estimators, and estimating, asynchronously by each estimator, one or more parameters associated with a model based on data from one of the sub data sets.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for building a latent item vector and item bias for a new item in a collaborative filtering system are disclosed. The method includes dividing incoming users into intervals with each interval having a learning phase and a selection phase. The learning phase scores each incoming user according to a best estimate latent vector and bias and saves the highest score. In the selection each incoming user is scored and a user exceeding the highest score is selected. The best estimate latent vector and bias is then updated based on the user's vector and bias, and the user's interaction with the item. The updated best estimate latent vector is then used in further intervals for learning and selecting users.
Abstract:
A method for adjusting one or more parameters associated with a model. The method comprises obtaining, from a first source, first information related to activity of a user. The method further comprises adjusting one or more parameters associated with a model based on the first information collected within a first length of time, and obtaining, from a second source, second information related to activity of the user. The method further comprises adjusting the one or more parameters associated with the model based on the second information collected within a second length of time and a measure indicative of performance of the model, wherein the second length of time is larger than the first length of time.

Abstract:
Method, system, and programs for estimating interests of a plurality of users with respect to a new piece of information are disclosed. In one example, historical interests of the plurality of users are obtained with respect to one or more existing pieces of information. One or more users are selected from the plurality of users. Historical interests of the one or more users can minimize an objective function over the plurality of users. Interests of the one or more users are obtained with respect to the new piece of information. Estimated interests of the plurality of users are generated with respect to the new piece of information based on the obtained interests of the one or more users.
