Ranking Results Using Multiple Nested Ranking

View page
US Patent:
7689615, Mar 30, 2010
Filed:
Dec 5, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/294269
Inventors:
Christopher J. Burges - Bellevue WA, US
Irina Matveeva - Chicago IL, US
Leon C. W. Wong - Redmond WA, US
Andrew S. Laucius - Seattle WA, US
Timo Burkard - Seattle WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F 7/00
G06F 17/30
US Classification:
707723, 707722, 707706
Abstract:
A unique system and method that facilitates improving the ranking of items is provided. The system and method involve re-ranking decreasing subsets of high ranked items in separate stages. In particular, a basic ranking component can rank a set of items. A subset of the top or high ranking items can be taken and used as a new training set to train a component for improving the ranking among these high ranked documents. This process can be repeated on an arbitrary number of successive high ranked subsets. Thus, high ranked items can be reordered in separate stages by focusing on the higher ranked items to facilitate placing the most relevant items at the top of a search results list.

Technique For Regulating Link Traffic

US Patent:
7882231, Feb 1, 2011
Filed:
May 2, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/114350
Inventors:
Timo Burkard - Mountain View CA, US
David Presotto - Palo Alto CA, US
Assignee:
Google Inc. - Mountain View CA
International Classification:
G06F 13/00
US Classification:
709226, 709224, 709229
Abstract:
A system which regulates communication with a server is described. During operation, the system determines a retransmission rate of data packets during a first set of conversations between a group of users and the server via a peering link. Next, the system compares the retransmission rate and an historical retransmission rate of data packets during a second set of conversations between a second group of users and the server via the peering link. The system then adjusts a target acceptance rate of the server to requests to initiate conversations with additional users via the peering link based on the comparison of the retransmission rate and the historical retransmission rate. Additionally, the system accepts or rejects a request to initiate a conversation between another user and the server via the peering link based on an actual acceptance rate of the server to requests to initiate the conversations and the target acceptance rate.

System And Method Of Selectively Caching Information Based On The Interarrival Time Of Requests For The Same Information

View page
US Patent:
8566531, Oct 22, 2013
Filed:
Aug 21, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/545225
Inventors:
Timo Burkard - San Francisco CA, US
David Presotto - Palo Alto CA, US
Assignee:
Google Inc. - Mountain View CA
International Classification:
G06F 12/12
US Classification:
711138, 711134, 711159
Abstract:
A system and method is provided wherein, in one aspect, a currently-requested item of information is stored in a cache based on whether it has been previously requested and, if so, the time of the previous request. If the item has not been previously requested, it may not be stored in the cache. If the subject item has been previously requested, it may or may not be cached based on a comparison of durations, namely (1) the duration of time between the current request and the previous request for the subject item and (2) for each other item in the cache, the duration of time between the current request and the previous request for the other item. If the duration associated with the subject item is less than the duration of another item in the cache, the subject item may be stored in the cache.

Predicting User Navigation Events

US Patent:
8566696, Oct 22, 2013
Filed:
Jul 14, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/182920
Inventors:
Dominic Hamon - San Francisco CA, US
Timo Burkard - San Francisco CA, US
Arvind Jain - Los Altos CA, US
Assignee:
Google Inc. - Mountain View CA
International Classification:
G06F 17/00
G06F 17/21
G06F 17/22
G06F 17/24
US Classification:
715205, 715244
Abstract:
A method and system for predicting a next navigation event are described. Aspects of the disclosure minimize the delay between a navigation event and a network response by predicting the next navigation event. The system and method may then prerender content associated with the next navigation event. For example, the method and system may predict a likely next uniform resource locator during web browsing to preemptively request content from the network before the user selects the corresponding link on a web page. The methods describe a variety of manners of predicting the next navigation event, including examining individual and aggregate historical data, text entry prediction, and cursor input monitoring.
