Media items to be hosted at an asset hosting platform and submitted by an owner of the media items are received. The media items are provided for consumption by users of the asset hosting platform. The historical data identifies a historical popularity of one or more of the media items. Whether the historical data associated with the one or more of the media items satisfies a viewership rate specifying a rate of viewership over a predetermined period of time for the one or more of the media items is determined. Responsive to determining that the historical data associated with the one or more of the media items satisfies the viewership rate, the owner is determined as eligible to participate in a performance sharing program. A communication for a client device associated with the owner of the media items to invite the owner to participate in the performance sharing program is generated.

Video revenue sharing program

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for disambiguating join paths for natural language queries. One of the methods includes, obtaining a natural language query from a user; parsing the natural language query into structured operations to be performed on APIs of a knowledge base, including: responsive to detecting a parsing ambiguity in which the natural language query can be parsed in two or more ways: providing, through a user interface, to the user one or more information items identifying the parsing ambiguity; responsive to a user interaction with an information item: modifying the parsing in accordance with the user interaction to generate one or more structured operations; performing the one or more structured operations on the structured APIs of the knowledge base to determine one or more search results; and providing one or more search results to the user.

Parsing natural language queries without retraining

Videos to be hosted at an asset hosting platform and submitted by an owner of the videos are received. The videos are provided for consumption by users of the asset hosting platform. The historical data identifies a historical popularity of one or more of the videos. Whether the historical data associated with the one or more of the videos satisfies a viewership rate specifying a rate of viewership over a predetermined period of time for the one or more of the videos is determined. Responsive to determining that the historical data associated with the one or more of the videos satisfies the viewership rate, the owner is determined as eligible to participate in a video performance sharing program. A communication for a client device associated with the owner of the videos to invite the owner to participate in the video performance sharing program is generated.

A system and method generates a popularity score for a first video based at least in part on first popularity data. The popularity score indicative of a popularity of the first video. The system and method retrieves first historical data including historical popularity of a second video submitted by an owner of the first video, in view of determining that the popularity score for the first video is greater than a predetermined value. The system and method determines that the second video is eligible to participate in a video performance sharing program based at least in part on the first historical data. The system and method generates a communication for a client device associated with the owner of the second video to invite the owner of the second video to participate in the video performance sharing program.

One of the methods includes, obtaining a natural language query from a user; while converting the natural language query into structured operations to be performed on structured application programming interfaces (APIs) of a knowledge base: responsive to detecting a linguistic ambiguity associated with the converting, wherein the linguistic ambiguity identifies two or more interpretations of a word included in the natural langue query: resolving the linguistic ambiguity by selecting an interpretation of the word, from the two or more interpretations of the word, based on one or more join paths that have been generated based on a data schema of the knowledge base; modifying the converting in accordance with the selected interpretation of the word, to generate one or more structured operations; performing the one or more structured operations on the structured APIs of the knowledge base; and returning search results matching the natural language query results to the user.

Disambiguating join paths for natural language queries

A system and method are disclosed for estimating a number of unique users (e.g., the number of unique users accessing a website, etc.). In one aspect, one or more transactions occurring during a time frame and a plurality of unauthenticated unique identification records associated with the transactions are identified. The time frame is segmented into disjoint time intervals, and a respective bit pattern is determined for each of the unauthenticated unique identification records. A set of churn patterns is determined based on the bit patterns, and a number of expected unauthenticated unique identification records is determined based on the bit patterns and the churn patterns. A number of unique users is estimated based on the size of the set of churn patterns and the number of expected unauthenticated unique identification records.

Statistical model for estimating unique users from unauthenticated cookies

A system and method for sharing revenue associated with a video is disclosed. The method includes generating a popularity score for a first video based at least in part on first popularity data. The popularity score is indicative of present and future popularity of the first video. The method also includes retrieving historical data includes historical popularity and profitability of multiple videos submitted by an owner of the first video, in response to determining that the popularity score for the first video is greater than a predetermined value. The method also includes determining that the first video is eligible to participate in a revenue sharing program based at least in part on the retrieved historical data. The method includes generating a message for a client device associated with the owner of the first video to invite the owner of the first video to participate in the revenue sharing program.

Systems and methods for enabling querying of nested or repeated structures with simple, non-nested group by queries derived from a template. In particular, non-flat tables (e.g., tables with repeated or nested structures) can be queried from a frontend interface as though the tables flat, exposing data associated with the nested structures by way of the non-nest queries.

Enhancing queries for data tables with nested fields

This disclosure generally relates to systems and methods that facilitate employing a statistical model over a specified time frame divided into a plurality of time intervals for estimating a quantity of unique users from a set of unauthenticated unique identifiers, such as cookies, associated with accesses to one or more servers.
