Abstract
Methods and systems for low-latency multi-constraint ranking of content items. One of the methods includes receiving a request to rank a plurality of content items for presentation to a user to maximize a primary objective subject to a plurality of constraints; initializing a dual variable vector; updating the dual variable vector, comprising: determining an overall objective score for the dual variable vector; identifying a plurality of candidate dual variable vectors that includes one or more neighboring node dual variable vectors; determining respective overall objective scores for each of the one or more candidate dual variable vectors; identifying the candidate with the best overall objective score; and determining whether to update the dual variable vector based on whether the identified candidate has a better overall objective score than the dual variable vector; and determining a final ranking for the content items based on the dual variable vector.
