  • Patent number: 11281785
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including an apparatus for preventing data leakage by controlling the availability of user data. In one aspect, a system includes a frontend server that receives digital component requests that each specify a user identifier for a user to which digital component will be provided and provides digital components. A data availability control server receives data specifying a user identifier for a user and controls availability of activity data to digital component providers by identifying, for a given digital component provider, data sets that include a user identifier for the user and are data sets from which the digital component provider is eligible to receive data. The data availability control server selects, from a specified number of the identified data sets, the activity data of the user included in the specified number of identified data sets and provides the selected data to the given digital component provider.

  • Patent number: 11270221
    Abstract: A method of performing unsupervised clustering of data points includes determining a number of qubits to include in a quantum processor based on feature dimensions of each data point. The method includes, for each pair of data points, executing a quantum circuit on a quantum processor having the determined number of qubits. The quantum circuit includes a feature map template circuit parameterized with a first plurality of rotations, a backward feature map template circuit parameterized with a second plurality of rotations, and a measurement circuit that outputs a similarity measure. The method includes creating a similarity matrix based on the similarity measure for each pair of data points, and inputting the similarity matrix to a classical clustering algorithm to cluster the data points. The feature map template circuit and the backward feature map template circuit each use quantum properties of superposition and entanglement of the qubits of the quantum processor.
