Abstract: A method of converting a data stored in a memory from a first format to a second format is disclosed. The method includes extending a number of bits in the data stored in a double data rate (DDR) memory by one bit to form an extended data. The method further includes determining whether the data stored in the DDR is signed or unsigned data. Moreover, responsive to determining that the data is signed, a sign value is added to the most significant bit of the extended data and the data is copied to lower order bits of the extended data. Responsive to determining that the data is unsigned, the data is copied to lower order bits of the extended data and the most significant bit is set to an unsigned value, e.g., zero. The extended data is stored in an on-chip memory (OCM) of a processing tile of a machine learning computer array.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for dynamically managing advertiser affiliate links for online marketing. A global redirect server accepts a visitor's web browser request for a product or non-product webpage associated with an affiliate network advertiser URL, and returns a corresponding product or non-product webpage to the visitor that is corrected for the visitor's geographic region if such a webpage exists, or returns the originally requested webpage if it does not. The server determines the visitor's geographic region based upon request metadata, and can generate a corrected webpage that affords analytic and commission tracking even if no corresponding affiliate network exists in the determined geographic region. The server includes a database for locating products within the determined geographic region that are comparable to the product of the product webpage request, in the event that the exact product is not available in the geographic region.

Abstract: A digital advertising system includes at least one processor configured to execute a plurality of functional modules including an analytics module to receive and analyze client attributes associated with a website visitor and a requested website to define an analytics event. The analytics module ingests and enriches data within the analytics event and provides it to a machine learning module that generates prediction models for potential bids. A management platform receives the bidding prediction and generates candidate configs. An optimization module receives the candidate configs and applies weights and additional features to select a config and generate an optimized script for the selected config. A deployment module receives the optimized script and delivers the script to the website visitor.

Abstract: A media creative attribution method includes determining a response profile within an attribution time window, the response profile being a portion of a unique visitor (UV) curve associated with a website. In some cases, a shadow baseline analysis is run on every media creative that aired within an extended time window to determine whether to adjust the response profile. A total lift within the attribution time window is determined utilizing a baseline of the UV curve. A weight for each media creative that aired within the attribution time window is determined. Utilizing the weight, the total lift is allocated to individual media creatives that aired within the attribution time window. The allocated attribution can be utilized to generate performance metrics relating to the individual media creatives that aired within the attribution time window. The performance metrics such as cost per visitor can be visualized through a user interface or dashboard.

Abstract: Methods and systems described in this disclosure can identify, from a social media listening device, content items posted by a plurality of users, where each of the content items is associated with a social handle. Each of the content items can be mapped to a user identifier associated with a user or a potential user of a service using the social handle. A subset of the mapped content items can be created by selecting the mapped content items that correspond to an event based on content. The mapped content items are then categorized based on the corresponding events in the content items. Service or product opportunity leads can be determined from the mapped and categorized content items.

Abstract: In a computer-implemented method, telematics data collected during one or more time periods by one or more electronic subsystems of a vehicle, and/or by a mobile electronic device of the driver or a passenger, is received. The telematics data includes operational data indicative of how a driver of the vehicle operated the vehicle. The received telematics data is analyzed to identify driving behaviors of the driver during the time period(s). Based at least upon the driving behaviors, a driver profile is generated or modified. Based at least upon the generated or modified driver profile, a suggested vehicle type is identified, at least by determining that the profile meets a set of one or more matching criteria associated with the suggested vehicle type. An indication of the suggested vehicle type is displayed to a user.

Abstract: In various example embodiments, a system and method for determining a spam publication using a spam detection system are presented. The spam detection system receives, from a device, an image of an item and an item attribute for the item. Additionally, the spam detection system extracts an image attribute based on the received image, and compares the item attribute and the image attribute. Moreover, the spam detection system calculates a confidence score based on the comparison. Furthermore, the spam detection system determines that the item attribute is incorrect based on the confidence score transgressing a predetermined threshold. In response to the determination that the item attribute is incorrect, the spam detection system causes presentation, on a display of the device, of a notification.
