Abstract

Systems and methods described herein may generate campaigns and efficiently calculate bids for placement of campaign data into Internet data. Embodiments may calculate context scores for campaign data based on campaign terms and beacon terms. The context scores may be used to identify Internet content that has a high page score. If the page score of particular Internet content exceeds a predetermined threshold, the system may place a bid for a campaign based on disclosed algorithms taking as inputs performance scores, context scores, page scores, campaign budgets, and other parameters. The systems therefore are capable of quickly and effectively calculating optimal bids to place for a particular campaign given parameters disclosed herein.

Claims (54)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

prior to a future bid-time:

receiving, by a computer, a first set of one or more context terms from a client device via a user interface;

selecting, by the computer, from a plurality of corpus terms stored in a corpus database one or more beacon terms using the first set of one or more context terms, each corpus term selected for the one or more beacon terms has a co-occurrence probability with one or more context terms of the first set of one or more context terms that satisfies a threshold probability;

presenting, by the computer, the one or more beacon terms selected using the first set of one or more context terms to a user via the user interface of the client device;

receiving, by the computer, a second set of one or more context terms from the client device via the user interface for updating the first set of one or more context terms;

selecting, by the computer, one or more updated beacon terms from the plurality of corpus terms based upon one of the first set of one or more context terms or the second set of one or more context terms;

calculating, by the computer, a plurality of page scores for a plurality of corpus webpages stored in the corpus database, each page score for a corpus webpage calculated based upon an amount of occurrences of one of the one or more updated beacon terms, the first set of one or more context terms, or the second set of one or more context terms; and

generating, by the computer in a campaign database, campaign data of the user comprising the one or more updated beacon terms and one or more contextual webpages selected from the plurality of corpus webpages satisfying a threshold page score, the campaign data configured for identifying one or more placement webpages at the future bid-time.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising storing, by the computer into the campaign database, the campaign data, wherein the campaign data is configured for executing a real-time bidding selection operation for one or more available webpages during the real-time bidding selection operation.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

generating, by the computer, context data for the one or more contextual webpages based upon one or more user inputs received from the client device via the user interface; and

transmitting, by the computer, the context data to the client device for display at the user interface.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising, for each corpus term of the plurality of corpus terms, determining, by the computer, the co-occurrence probability for the corpus term indicating a probability that the corpus term co-occurs with the one or more context terms of the first set of one or more context terms.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein selecting the one or more beacon terms using the first set of one or more context terms includes:

applying, by the computer, a machine-learning model to the first set of context terms to extract one or more embeddings for the first set of context terms,

wherein the one or more beacon terms comprises each corpus term in the corpus database having a feature vector satisfying a threshold distance from the one or more embeddings for the first set of context terms.

6. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising calculating, by the computer, a context score for each context term in the first set of context terms based upon at least one of: a word probability, a word co-occurrence count, and a word-to-word probabilistic implication, wherein the embedding of each context term of the first set of context terms is based upon the context score for the context term.

7. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

for each context term of the first set of context terms, setting, by the computer, the context score as a default score; and

adjusting, by the computer, the context score for at least one context term of the first set of context terms in accordance with one or more user inputs received from the client device via the user interface.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first set of context terms comprises at least one out-of-context term.

9. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the computer, from a bid server an availability list of one or more available webpages requesting bids from a bid system; and

calculating, by the computer, a real-time page score for each available webpage in the availability list based, at least in part, upon a number of occurrences of one or more campaign terms comprising the one or more updated beacon terms and one or more in-context terms in the available webpage.

10. The method according to claim 9 , further comprising identifying, by the computer, a bidding-list of webpages comprising each of the one or more available webpages of the availability list satisfying a bid threshold.

11. A system comprising:

a corpus database comprising non-transitory storage medium configured to a plurality of corpus terms; and

a server comprising a processor configured to:

prior to a future bid-time:

receive a first set of one or more context terms from a client device via a user interface;

select from the plurality of corpus terms stored in the corpus database one or more beacon terms using the first set of one or more context terms, each corpus term selected for the one or more beacon terms has a co-occurrence probability with one or more context terms of the first set of one or more context terms that satisfies a threshold probability;

present the one or more beacon terms selected using the first set of one or more context terms to a user via the user interface of the client device;

receive a second set of one or more context terms from the client device via the user interface for updating the first set of one or more context terms;

select one or more updated beacon terms from the plurality of corpus terms based upon one of the first set of one or more context terms or the second set of one or more context terms;

calculate a plurality of page scores for a plurality of corpus webpages stored in the corpus database, each page score for a corpus webpage calculated based upon an amount of occurrences of the one or more updated beacon terms, the first set of one or more context terms, or the second set of one or more context terms; and

generate, in a campaign database, campaign data of the user comprising the one or more updated beacon terms and one or more contextual webpages selected from the plurality of corpus webpages satisfying a threshold page score, the campaign data configured for identifying one or more placement webpages at the future bid-time.

12. The system according to claim 11 , wherein the server is further configured to store, into the campaign database, the campaign data, wherein the campaign data is configured for executing a real-time bidding selection operation for one or more available webpages during the real-time bidding selection operation.

13. The system according to claim 11 , wherein the server is further configured to:

generate context data for the one or more contextual webpages based upon one or more user inputs received from the client device via the user interface; and

transmit the context data to the client device for display at the user interface.
