Abstract:

A method, system and computer readable medium selects additional message content to display to a user when the user request base content. In order to optimize the intermediate selection pool of message candidates (from which a final selection is chosen), for each candidate message, a historical aggregate of CTR data is combined with an offline estimate, also obtained from historical data, of RElative Probability of Action (REPA, which combines computed relevancy scores and ranking information) and with bid amount to obtain an estimate for revenue generation. This estimate is combined with dynamic matching between the message and the page/user pair to obtain a final score for each message that is used to create the intermediate selection pool of message for the page displayed. Final message selection uses a feedback loop, using specific CRT in conjunction with the specific page displayed, for the messages in the intermediately selected pool.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/02

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus to estimate market opportunities for an object class are disclosed. An example method includes obtaining first measurements of a set of characteristics for a first area, the set of characteristics being associated with an item class; determining a first relationship between a first probability of a population in the first area to purchase the item class and the first measurements of the set of characteristics; obtaining second measurements of the set of characteristics for a second area; and estimating a second probability of a population of the second area purchasing the item class based on applying the first relationship to the second measurements.

International Classification:

G06Q 10/06
G06Q 30/02

Abstract:

The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system inputs a set of features for a customer of a product into a first statistical model, wherein the set of features comprises a company segment of the customer. Next, the system uses the first statistical model to predict a churn risk of the customer. When the churn risk exceeds a first threshold for the company segment, the system outputs a notification of a high churn risk level for the customer.

Abstract:

The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system obtains a set of data for a set of customers of a product, wherein the set of data comprises a set of churn risk levels for the customer. Next, the system uses the set of data to display a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising a chart of renewal opportunities with the set of customers, for the product, over an upcoming time interval. The system then displays, in the GUI, a representation of a churn risk level for each customer in the set of customers with a renewal opportunity in the chart.
