| 20100318539 | LABELING DATA SAMPLES USING OBJECTIVE QUESTIONS - Described is a technology for obtaining labeled sample data. Labeling guidelines are converted into binary yes/no questions regarding data samples. The questions and data samples are provided to judges who then answer the questions for each sample. The answers are input to a label assignment algorithm that associates a label with each sample based upon the answers. If the guidelines are modified and previous answers to the binary questions are maintained, at least some of the previous answers may be used in re-labeling the samples in view of the modification. | 12-16-2010 |
| 20110066650 | QUERY CLASSIFICATION USING IMPLICIT LABELS - Described is a technology for automatically generating labeled training data for training a classifier based upon implicit information associated with the data. For example, whether a query has commercial intent can be classified based upon whether the query was submitted at a commercial website's search portal, as logged in a toolbar log. Positive candidate query-related data is extracted from the toolbar log based upon the associated implicit information. A click log is processed to obtain negative query-related data. The labeled training data is automatically generated by separating at least some of the positive candidate query data from the remaining positive candidate query data based upon the negative query data. The labeled training data may be used to train a classifier, such as to classify an online search query as having a certain type of intent or not. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110289026 | Matching Offers to Known Products - A method and apparatus for electronically matching an electronic offer to structured data for a product offering is disclosed. The structure data is reviewed and a dictionary of terms for each attribute from the structure data is created. Attributes in unstructured text may be determined. Each pair of the attributes (name and value) from the unstructured data and the structured data are obtained, the attribute pairs of the structured data and the unstructured data and compared and a similarity level is calculated for the matching the attribute pairs. The structured data pair that has the highest similarity score to the unstructured data pair is selected and returned. | 11-24-2011 |
| 20120163707 | MATCHING TEXT TO IMAGES - Text in web pages or other text documents may be classified based on the images or other objects within the webpage. A system for identifying and classifying text related to an object may identify one or more web pages containing the image or similar images, determine topics from the text of the document, and develop a set of training phrases for a classifier. The classifier may be trained and then used to analyze the text in the documents. The training set may include both positive examples and negative examples of text taken from the set of documents. A positive example may include captions or other elements directly associated with the object, while negative examples may include text taken from the documents, but from a large distance from the object. In some cases, the system may iterate on the classification process to refine the results. | 06-28-2012 |
| 20120314941 | ACCURATE TEXT CLASSIFICATION THROUGH SELECTIVE USE OF IMAGE DATA - Product images are used in conjunction with textual descriptions to improve classifications of product offerings. By combining cues from both text and image descriptions associated with products, implementations enhance both the precision and recall of product description classifications within the context of web-based commerce search. Several implementations are directed to improving those areas where text-only approaches are most unreliable. For example, several implementations use image signals to complement text classifiers and improve overall product classification in situations where brief textual product descriptions use vocabulary that overlaps with multiple diverse categories. Other implementations are directed to using text and images “training sets” to improve automated classifiers including text-only classifiers. Certain implementations are also directed to learning a number of three-way image classifiers focused only on “confusing categories” of the text signals to improve upon those specific areas where text-only classification is weakest. | 12-13-2012 |

| 20120030011 | Systems and Methods for Estimating a Conversion Rate for a Digital Advertisement Based on Dwell Times Associated with the Digital Advertisement - The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for estimating a conversion rate associated with a digital ad. Generally, an ad provider and/or an ad campaign management system detects an action of a user associated with a digital ad. The ad provider and/or ad campaign management system detects a subsequent action of the user after detecting the action of the user associated with the digital ad and determines an amount of time between the action of the user associated with the digital ad and the subsequent action of the user. The ad provider and/or ad campaign management system then estimates a conversion rate associated with the digital ad based on the determined amount of time. In some implementations, a model is utilized to estimate a conversion rate associated with a digital ad based on dwell times even when the ad provider and/or ad campaign management system has little or no conversion data associated with the digital ad. | 02-02-2012 |
| 20120084147 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING SEARCH SUGGESTIONS - Disclosed is a method and system for generating search suggestions in response to receiving a search query originating from a user computing device. A server computer obtains a plurality of advanced match terms not exactly matching the search query but related to the search query, the advanced match terms previously bid on by advertisers in a bidding process. The server computer obtains advertisements associated with the advanced match terms, where each advertisement is associated with an advertiser who has won the bidding process for one of the advanced match terms. The server computer then transmits, in response to the receiving of the search query, the advanced match terms to the user computing device for display as search suggestions. | 04-05-2012 |
| 20120265588 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RECOMMENDING NEW CONNECTIONS IN AN ADVERTISING EXCHANGE - A method, system and computer readable medium for recommending new connections in an advertising exchange. The method identifies participants that share some similarity (e.g. a pre-existing advertising relationship), and on the basis of the features and extent of a similarity, and then suggests or recommends other relationships that can also be shared. The method commences by enumerating a set of producer participants and by enumerating a set of consumer participants where at least two of the members of the set of consumer participants has an ad relationship to at least one of the producer participants. Then, on the basis of a selected feature quantity the extent of the similarity is calculated. When it is found that one consumer is similar to a second consumer (by virtue of at least one shared ad relationship), then the system recommends to the participants one or more additional ad relationships that can be established. | 10-18-2012 |

In another application dynamic range compression can be used to control the power output to protect a speaker from damage. One example of a dynamic range compressor/peak limiter comprises a look-ahead buffer and an analysis engine. For example, the look-ahead buffer holds a window of samples of a signal. The analysis engine selects a gain envelope function on the basis of the samples, for example, by selecting the Pth sample in the buffer whenever that sample exceeds a given threshold. | 01-19-2012 |

| 20130013862 | EFFICIENT HANDLING OF MISALIGNED LOADS AND STORES - A system and method for efficiently handling misaligned memory accesses within a processor. A processor comprises a load-store unit (LSU) with a banked data cache (d-cache) and a banked store queue. The processor generates a first address corresponding to a memory access instruction identifying a first cache line. The processor determines the memory access is misaligned which crosses over a cache line boundary. The processor generates a second address identifying a second cache line logically adjacent to the first cache line. If the instruction is a load instruction, the LSU simultaneously accesses the d-cache and store queue with the first and the second addresses. If there are two hits, the data from the two cache lines are simultaneously read out. If the access is a store instruction, the LSU separates associated write data into two subsets and simultaneously stores these subsets in separate cache lines in separate banks of the store queue. | 01-10-2013 |
