Abstract: A measure of influence of a sender entity is determined for a message receiving entity based at least in part on an analysis of previous electronic messages sent by the sender entity. An electronic message associated with the sender entity is received. The measure of influence of the sender entity is utilized to determine a security risk associated with the received electronic message.

Abstract: Predictive analytic models are hierarchically built based on a training dataset, which includes pairs of input data and output data. First, the input data and the output data are preprocessed. A hierarchical clustering process is performed on the dataset. The hierarchical clustering process comprises level-1 input and output data clustering, level-2 input and output data clustering, and so on, up to level-K input and output data clustering, where K is an integer greater than one. A hierarchical model building process is performed. The hierarchical model building process comprises level-1 model building over level-1 clustered input and output data, level-2 model building over level-2 clustered input and output data, and so on, up to level-K model building over level-K clustered input and output data. At least one level-K predictive model is generated as the resulting built model.

Abstract: A system designed for increasing network communication speed for users, while lowering network congestion for content owners and ISPs. The system employs network elements including an acceleration server, clients, agents, and peers, where communication requests generated by applications are intercepted by the client on the same machine. The IP address of the server in the communication request is transmitted to the acceleration server, which provides a list of agents to use for this IP address. The communication request is sent to the agents. One or more of the agents respond with a list of peers that have previously seen some or all of the content which is the response to this request (after checking whether this data is still valid).

Abstract: A server of a crop growth stage determination system includes a processor. The processor inputs first images obtained by image capturing crops in a manner such that crop shapes are extractable. The Processor inputs growth stages each indicating a level of physiological growth of the crops for each of the first images. The processor constructs a learned model by performing deep learning to associate images of the crops and growth stages of the crops based on the input first images and the input growth stage. The processor inputs a second image obtained by image capturing crops a growth stage of which is unknown, in a manner such that crop-shapes are extractable. The processor determines the growth stage for the input second image based on the learned model. The processor outputs the determined growth stage.

Abstract: A system, method, device, and platform for monetizing user data. One or more data elements associated with user data of a user are received from one of a number of sources. One or more tokens are created based on the user data. The user data is stored in a secure location. The user data is vended to one of a number of parties utilizing the one or more tokens. The user data is accessible from the secure location utilizing an indicator included in the one or more tokens. The user is compensated for vending the user data.
