Abstract

Systems and methods for determining predictive model types are provided. A method may include generating a predictive model for a web page of a website, wherein the web page includes a configuration defining one or more objects presented with the web page, and wherein each object is associated with a predictive model. The method may include determining one or more predictive model types that are associated with the predictive model, determining one or more performance indicators that correspond to each determined predictive model type, wherein performance indicators represent one or more benefits to a website, selecting a predictive model type of the predictive model out of the one or more predictive model types, wherein the predictive model type is selected based on a performance indicator corresponding to the selected predictive model type, and determining a configuration of the web page using the selected predictive model type of the predictive model.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

generating, by a computing device, a predictive model for a web page of a website, wherein the web page includes a configuration defining one or more objects presented with the web page, and wherein each object is associated with a predictive model;

determining one or more predictive model types that are associated with the predictive model;

determining one or more performance indicators that correspond to each determined predictive model type, wherein performance indicators represent one or more benefits to a website;

selecting a predictive model type of the predictive model out of the one or more predictive model types, wherein the predictive model type is selected based on a performance indicator corresponding to the selected predictive model type; and

determining a configuration of the web page using the selected predictive model type of the predictive model.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein performance indicators include a rate of clicking on an object, a rate of converting the object to a purchase, or a revenue rate generated by presenting a configuration of the web page.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

gradually migrating over time from using a first type of the predictive model associated with a first performance indicator to using a second type of the predictive model associated with a second performance indicator.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising generating a plurality of predictive models for the web page of the website.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a request for the web page;

retrieving predictive information related to the request;

converting the predictive information into one or more predictive factors for an object presented with the web page;

defining a value for each of the one or more predictive factors; and

generating a predictive model for the object using the one or more predictive factors.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the predictive information includes behavioral information and information associated with the request for the web page.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the behavioral information includes a time of one or more previous visits in a domain that includes the requested web page, a time that the web page was last requested, a number of visits in the domain, a number of times that the object has been presented, and a number of times that the object has been selected.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the behavioral information is from a single resource.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein the behavioral information is stored in a cookie.

10. The method of claim 6, wherein the information associated with the request for the web page includes a receipt time of the request, a uniform resource locator key associated with the request, an internet protocol address, or a type of browser application.

11. A system, comprising:

a processor; and

a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing instructions configured to cause the processor to perform operations including;

generating a predictive model for a web page of a website, wherein the web page includes a configuration defining one or more objects presented with the web page, and wherein each object is associated with a predictive model;

determining one or more predictive model types that are associated with the predictive model;

determining one or more performance indicators that correspond to each determined predictive model type, wherein performance indicators represent one or more benefits to a website;

selecting a predictive model type of the predictive model out of the one or more predictive model types, wherein the predictive model type is selected based on a performance indicator corresponding to the selected predictive model type; and

determining a configuration of the web page using the selected predictive model type of the predictive model.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein performance indicators include a rate of clicking on an object, a rate of converting the object to a purchase, or a revenue rate generated by presenting a configuration of the web page.

13. The system of claim 11, further comprising instructions configured to cause the processor to perform operations including:

gradually migrating over time from using a first type of the predictive model associated with a first performance indicator to using a second type of the predictive model associated with a second performance indicator.

14. The system of claim 11, further comprising instructions configured to cause the processor to perform operations including generating a plurality of predictive models for the web page of the website.

15. The system of claim 11, further comprising instructions configured to cause the processor to perform operations including:

receiving a request for the web page;

retrieving predictive information related to the request;

converting the predictive information into one or more predictive factors for an object presented with the web page;

defining a value for each of the one or more predictive factors; and

generating a predictive model for the object using the one or more predictive factors.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the predictive information includes behavioral information and information associated with the request for the web page.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein the behavioral information includes a time of one or more previous visits in a domain that includes the requested web page, a time that the web page was last requested, a number of visits in the domain, a number of times that the object has been presented, and a number of times that the object has been selected.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein the behavioral information is from a single resource.

19. The system of claim 17, wherein the behavioral information is stored in a cookie.

20. The system of claim 16, wherein the information associated with the request for the web page includes a receipt time of the request, a uniform resource locator key associated with the request, an internet protocol address, or a type of browser application.

21. A computer-program product, tangibly embodied in a non-transitory machine-readable medium, including instructions configured to cause a data processing apparatus to:

generate a predictive model for a web page of a website, wherein the web page includes a configuration defining one or more objects presented with the web page, and wherein each object is associated with a predictive model;

determine one or more predictive model types that are associated with the predictive model;

determine one or more performance indicators that correspond to each determined predictive model type, wherein performance indicators represent one or more benefits to a website;
