Abstract: A method for fetching a content from a web server to a client device is disclosed, using tunnel devices serving as intermediate devices. The client device accesses an acceleration server to receive a list of available tunnel devices. The requested content is partitioned into slices, and the client device sends a request for the slices to the available tunnel devices. The tunnel devices in turn fetch the slices from the data server, and send the slices to the client device, where the content is reconstructed from the received slices. A client device may also serve as a tunnel device, serving as an intermediate device to other client devices. Similarly, a tunnel device may also serve as a client device for fetching content from a data server. The selection of tunnel devices to be used by a client device may be in the acceleration server, in the client device, or in both.

Abstract: To train models, training data is needed. As personal data changes over time, the training data can get stale, obviating its usefulness in training the model. Embodiments deal with this by developing a database with a running log specifying how each person's data changes at the time. When data is ingested, it may not be normalized. To deal with this, embodiments clean the data to ensure the ingested data fields are normalized. Finally, the various tasks needed to train the model and solve for accuracy of personal data can quickly become cumbersome to a computing device. They can conflict with one another and compete inefficiently for computing resources, such as processor power and memory capacity. To deal with these issues, a scheduler is employed to queue the various tasks involved.

Abstract: At least one of a measure of trust or a measure of spoofing risk associated with a sender of a message is determined. A measure of similarity between an identifier of the sender of the message and an identifier of at least one trusted contact of a recipient of the message is determined. The measure of similarity is combined with at least one of the measure of trust or the measure of spoofing risk to at least in part determine a combined measure of risk associated with the message. The sender of the message is not included in the at least one trusted contact of the recipient of the message. Based at least in part on the combined measure of risk associated with the message, the message is modified to alter content of a data field that includes an identification of the sender of the message.

Abstract: Provided are methods, devices, and computer-program products for determining an accuracy score for a device mapping system. In some examples, the accuracy score can be based on a device map of the device mapping system and viewing data from an automated content recognition component. In such examples, the accuracy score can indicate whether the device mapping system is assigning similar categories to devices that have similar player of media content. In some examples, a device map can be determined to be random, indicating that the device mapping system is inaccurate. In contrast, if the device map is determined to have a sufficiently low probability of being merely random in nature, the device mapping system can be determined to be accurate.
