A computer-implemented method is disclosed for determining a type of landing page to which to transfer web searchers that enter a particular query, the method comprising: classifying a landing page as one of a plurality of landing page classes with a trained classifier of a computer based on textual content of the landing page; determining, by the computer, characteristics of one or more query to be associated with the landing page; and choosing, with the computer, whether to retain or to change classification of the landing page to be associated with the one or more query based on relative average conversion rates of advertisements on a plurality of manually-classified landing pages when associated with the characteristics of the one or more query.

A machine learning system creates failure-susceptibility rankings for feeder cables in a utility's electrical distribution system. The machine learning system employs martingale boosting algorithms and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms to generate a feeder failure prediction model, which is trained on static and dynamic feeder attribute data. Feeders are dynamically ranked by failure susceptibility and the rankings displayed to utility operators and engineers so that they can proactively service the distribution system to prevent local power outages. The feeder rankings may be used to redirect power flows and to prioritize repairs. A feedback loop is established to evaluate the responses of the electrical distribution system to field actions taken to optimize preventive maintenance programs.
