Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for generating a recommendation of third-party applications to a user by a recommendation engine. The recommendation engine includes two deep-learning models that use various data sources (e.g., user data and application data) to generate the recommendation. One deep-learning model generates a relevance score for each available third-party application. The relevance score is used to determine a relevant application(s). The other deep-learning model generates a connection score for each relevant application. The recommendation engine uses the relevance score and the connections to generate an engagement score for each relevant application to determine whether the user would use the third-party application if recommended to the user. Those relevant applications with an engagement score that meet pre-determined criteria are determined and displayed to the user in the application as a recommendation.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for promulgating modifications to resources to client devices. A resource is modified and, in response, a new reference to the modified resource is generated along with a mapping that maps a previous reference, prior to the modification, to the new reference of the modified resource. The mapping and interceptor code are injected into an index file of content referencing the resource. The interceptor code intercepts requests referencing the resource and uses the mapping to modify the requests to use the new reference. In response to receiving a request for the content from a client, the index file is transmitted to the client to execute the interceptor code and process references to the resource, in the content, by modifying the references to the resource to direct the retrieval of the resource to the modified resource according to the new reference specified in the mapping data structure.
