We present collaborative peer-to-peer algorithms for the problem of approximating frequency counts for popular items distributed across the peers of a large-scale network. Our alg...
Behavioral targeting (BT) leverages historical user behavior to select the ads most relevant to users to display. The state-of-the-art of BT derives a linear Poisson regression mo...
