US Patent 9104960 Click prediction using bin counting

Methods, systems, and computer-storage media having computer-usable instructions embodied thereon for calculating event probabilities are provided. The event may be a click probability. Event probabilities are calculated using a system optimized for runtime model accuracy with an operable learning algorithm. Bin counting techniques are used to calculate event probabilities based on a count of event occurrences and non-event occurrences. Linear parameters, such and counts of clicks and non-clicks, may also be used in the system to allow for runtime adjustments.
