Abstract: The subject matter herein provides for AI-based prediction of production defects in association with a production system, such as a semiconductor manufacturing machine. In one embodiment, a method begins by receiving production data from the production system. The production data typically comprises non-homogeneous machine parameters and maintenance data, quality test data, and product and process data. Using the production data, a neural network is trained to model an operation of a given machine in the production system. Preferably, the training involves multi-task learning, transfer learning (e.g., using knowledge obtained with respect to a machine of the same type as the given machine), and a combination of multi-task learning and transfer learning. Once the model is trained, it is associated with the given machine operating environment, wherein it is used to provide quality assurance predictions.

Abstract: An electronic gaming machine architecture is provided in which a gaming platform application and wagering game applications are executed in separate processes but may share access to common display windows; such display windows may be caused to be generated by the gaming platform application, which may then assign specific display windows to the various wagering game applications, along with window handles usable to direct graphical content thereto. The wagering game applications may then direct graphical content to the display windows, while the gaming platform application may retain control over the size, position, transparency, and/or z-order of the display windows.

Abstract: A method for applying agency and regulation modeling in a multi-tenant architecture system includes accessing merchant's representation in an identity manager. The merchant is managed via a full representation by an original identity manager. The method includes performing a first service for the merchant via the representation, and determining, based on results of the first service and on policies of the first service provider, that performance of a second service is required for completion of the first service. The second service is provided by a second service provider onboarded into the first service provider, where the second service amends policy requirements of the first service provider. The method includes accessing a first subservice of the second service using the representation to generate second results for use at a second subservice of the second service, the second subservice configured to use transaction resources of the first representation.

Abstract: A method for managing entities in a multi-tenant marketplace architecture system is discussed. The method includes determining that a merchant is represented as a first representation in a first hierarchical data structure and as a second representation in a second hierarchical data structure, where both the first and second hierarchical data structures are managed by a first service provider. The merchant is being managed via a full representation in an original hierarchical data structure by a marketplace service provider. The first and second representations provide outbound services via the first hierarchical data structure and via the second hierarchical data structure, respectively. The method also includes linking the first representation with the second representation to configure the first and second representations for propagating results of an inbound service applied to one of the first and second representations to a remaining one of the first and second representations.
