Abstract: A computing system and method for managing an identity of a user are provided. A server may be configured to communicate with each of a plurality of client devices in corresponding request and response streams. An inference engine is configured to monitor the streams for identifying factors distinguishing each of the plurality of client devices from other of the plurality of client devices. Upon detecting one or more of the identifying factors for each of two or more client devices that match within a threshold probability, the inference engine makes an inference that two or more of the plurality of client devices are used by the user. Based upon the inference, the inference engine creates a virtual identity record at the server linking the two or more client devices.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic pricing in real-time marketplace transactions are provided. A method may include receiving a request from a bid agent associated with a location-aware user device, and an offer for goods/services from an offer agent that is associated with a merchant device. The offer may include an inventory and one or more locations of the goods/services. The method includes determining a location of the location-aware user device, and determining whether the inventory and the one or more locations of the goods/services are sufficient to satisfy the request. If so, then the method includes establishing a real-time dynamic marketplace session between the offer agent and the bid agent to facilitate a negotiation for the goods/services. Upon receiving an acceptance from the offer agent for a bid from the bid agent, the method includes processing a purchase transaction for the goods/services.

Abstract: A marketplace server and method for facilitating purchase transactions are provided. A marketplace server may include a routing engine configured to receive an order for goods from a first computing device associated with a first customer, with the order including a first delivery address of the customer. The routing engine also calculates a delivery route to the first delivery address. An offer engine is configured to create an offer for other goods. The offer includes a shipping incentive associated with a second delivery address of a second customer. The offer may be targeted to the second customer based on a proximity of the second delivery address to the delivery route. The offer engine sends the offer to a second computing device associated with the second customer. Upon receiving an acceptance of the offer from the computing device, the offer engine processes a purchase transaction for the offer.

Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating purchase transactions through real-time dynamic marketplace sessions are provided. A method may include pooling offers for goods/services to form a pooled offer, and pooling bids to form a pooled bid. The pooled offer and the pooled bid may be matched to form a pooled offer/bid pair. Methods for inducing and using predictive models for successful configuration of properties and participants with machine learning procedures that operate on data about successful and unsuccessful offers may be employed. A real-time dynamic marketplace session may be established between offer agents associated with the pooled offers and bid agents associated with the pooled bids. Upon a successful conclusion to the negotiation, a purchase transaction for the pooled offer/bid pair may be processed.

Abstract: Messages generated by user accounts in a social networking application over a period of time are processed to determine the subjects and topic associated with the messages, as well as the geographical locations of the users associated with the user accounts, and the times when the users associated with the accounts are most active. The determined, subject, time, and location information is used to create a model that may be used to predict whether a user in the social networking application is willing, available, and has the knowledge or topical affinity to answer a question proposed by another user in the social networking application based on a subject, time, and/or location associated with the question. When a user enters a question, the user may be presented with a list of their friends or contacts ranked according to the probabilities generated by the model.

Abstract: Methods and systems for automatically synthesizing product information from multiple data sources into an on-line catalog are disclosed, and in particular, for automatically synthesizing the product information based on attribute-value pairs. Information for a product may be obtained, via entity extraction, feed ingestion, and other mechanisms, from a plurality of structured and unstructured data sources having different taxonomies and schemas. Product information may additionally or alternatively be obtained or derived based on popularity data. The product information may be cleansed, segmented and normalized. The product information may be clustered so closest products, attribute names and attribute values are associated. A representative value for an attribute name may be determined, and the on-line catalog may be updated so that entries are comprehensive, meaningful and useful to a catalog user. Updates from at least 500 million different data sources may be scheduled to occur as frequently as several times daily.
