Web-Scale Bayesian Click-Through rate Prediction for Sponsored Search Advertising in Microsoft's Bing Search Engine
TL;DR: A new Bayesian click-through rate (CTR) prediction algorithm used for Sponsored Search in Microsoft's Bing search engine is described, based on a probit regression model that maps discrete or real-valued input features to probabilities.

Event prediction in dynamic environments
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a prediction engine that uses the learned information to predict events in order to control a system such as for internet advertising, email filtering, fraud detection or other applications.

TL;DR: In this article, a dynamic batch strategy is proposed for parallelization of online learning algorithms, which provides a merge function based on a threshold level difference between the original model state and an updated model state, rather than according to a constant or pre-determined batch size.

Scalable clustering and keyword suggestion for online advertisements
TL;DR: An efficient Bayesian online learning algorithm for clustering vectors of binary values based on a well known model, the mixture of Bernoulli profiles, which scales well for large datasets, and compares favorably to other clustering algorithms on the ads dataset.
Patent
Utilizing a reserve price for ranking
TL;DR: In this article, a reserve price is included in a calculation of a score to rank one or more advertisements for display, which may further rely on a bid submitted by an advertiser for an advertisement, click probability associated with the advertisement, a relevance of the advertisement to a search query and/or user, and the like.
