A method and system deliver media content. Multiple first requests for media content are received and first key phrases are extracted into a dictionary. Second media content requests and associated context are collected for media content served to a latent interest audience. The context is used to obtain candidate key phrases. For each of the contexts, the candidate key phrases that match the first key phrases are determined. A subset of the matching candidate key phrases are assigned to the campaign. The subset of matching candidate key phrases is expanded using semantic similarity and stored in a second table. A new media content request that does not include an explicit user identification is received. Based on the new media content request, new request key phrases are determined and compared to the expanded subset. Campaigns with intersections are selected and utilized to deliver media content.

Systems and methods directed to managing computer resource allocation by monitoring signals indicating demand for services utilizing computer resources are described. A method includes maintaining, for each first event of first events, historical registration data and respective parameter values of the first event and identifying, for a second event having an open registration status, respective parameter values of the second event, and registration data for the second event. The method includes computing a similarity score between the second event and each first event of the plurality of first events, based on the respective parameter values of the first event and the second event and the registration data of the second event and the historical registration data of the first event, generating, for the second event, a projected number of entities based on determined information and determining a ranking of the second event.

A computer-implemented system and method that enables mobile vendors of goods and/or services to advertise the future location regarding availability of their goods and/or services to consumers, in an effort to generate and/or increase sales of their products and/or services. The present invention finds particular application with respect to mobile vendors such as owners of food vans, pop-up food stores and market stall holders and enables such owners to alert customers regarding their proposed presence at specific geographic locations at particular dates and times.

Described is a system for the placement of digital content items on a digital content item space for a point of care (POC) facility by identifying a display interface for a point of care (POC) facility, the display interface including a digital content item space to display a digital content item, identifying one or more digital content item providers for the digital content item space; accessing a selection of the one or more digital content item providers, and identifying a set of digital content item providers for the digital content item space based on the selection.

The system then causes display of the digital content item on the display interface based on the identified set of digital content item providers.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for adjusting physical location usage for a plurality of particular locations. Methods can include obtaining a three-dimensional (3D) representation of the given geographic area, wherein the 3D representation depicts a view of the given geographic area from a specified viewing perspective. For the given geographic area, traffic data is obtained indicating different traffic volumes during different time periods and one or more traffic characteristics. The 3D representation is segmented into a plurality of particular locations. For each particular location among the plurality of particular locations and based on the traffic data, a viewability score is determined that indicates an aggregate amount of time that the particular location is viewable by traffic passing the different locations. Physical location usage is then adjusted based on the viewability scores for the plurality of particular locations.

This document describes the autonomous collection, generation, distribution, and management of online web content. The devices, systems, and methods described herein can be used to collect and generate online web content and communications in an automatic and autonomous manner. Specifically, the disclosed methods, devices, and systems may be employed to produce one or more communications and/or advertising campaigns, as well as for monitoring, managing, defining the efficiency, effectiveness, and workability of the campaign with respect to generating predicted user engagements, thereby accurately determining the cost benefits of the communication campaign. The system may track, evaluate, and provide analytic results that may then be used to better guide the system parameters for customizing autonomous communications directed one or more characteristics of a defined target audience.

Apparatus and methods present a content item and question from an inquirer to a group of users in a first feedback session with a requirement for the users to provide predictions of how a member of a distinct target group will respond to the content item, receiving, during the first feedback session, the first group's prediction of the target group's responses, presenting, during a second feedback session, the same content item and the same question to the target group with a requirement for the target group to provide responses directed to their own responses, constructing a predictive model of the target group based on responses received from the target group during the second feedback session, measuring accuracy of the first group's predictions using the target group predictive model and providing the inquirer access to an ordered visual representation of the first group users arranged as a function of accuracy.

Provided are an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and an information processing program capable of extracting a related program to be used for rating point prediction of a target program with high accuracy. An information processing apparatus (30) according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes an acquisition unit (31), an extraction unit (32), and a prediction unit (33). The acquisition unit (31) acquires past programs that are candidates for a related program to be used for rating point prediction of the target program. The extraction unit (32) extracts the related program from among the past programs based on a broadcast station, a broadcast date and time, a program name, and a program content of the past program. The prediction unit (33) predicts a rating point of the target program by using the related program.

The new methods and mechanisms disclosed are useful in the context of information exchange systems that facilitate a flow of information items from information producers to information consumers, for example, social networks, online publishing systems, ad networks, and Recommender Systems in general. The new systems and methods improve the precision for determining the bounds on a set of items that may be included in the information stream of the information consumer, and improve consumer participation. The improvements also provide additional support for handling new metadata attributes.

Methods and systems for providing information associated with a location history of a mobile device to one or more applications are disclosed. A mobile device generates one or more location history records based on one or more locations of the mobile device, each location history record comprising one or more points of interest and a duration at the one or more points of interest, receives an information request from at least one application, determines a subset of the one or more location history records that meet criteria from the information request, determines a level of permission for the at least one application based on the information request and the subset of the one or more location history records, and provides information associated with the subset of the one or more location history records to the at least one application based on the level of permission.
