Abstract: In a method of validating a customer in an electronic transaction, an electronic interface of a vendor requests a first set of personal information to validate a customer. The first set of personal information is requested as a portion of a transaction between the electronic interface and a customer device used by the customer. Responsive to the customer's authorization, the electronic interface receives from the customer device an encrypted token which includes a second set of personal information which identifies the customer and encompasses at least a portion of the first set of personal information. The encrypted token is provided to the customer device from a third-party via an application on the customer device and is configured with the second set of personal information prior to the transaction. The electronic interface completes the transaction using the second set of personal information decrypted from the encrypted token to validate the customer.

Abstract: Systems, methods and/or devices are used to perform memory-efficient mapping of block/object addresses. In one aspect, a method of managing a storage system having one or more storage devices includes a tiered data structure in which each node has a logical ID and entries in the nodes reference other nodes in the tiered data structure using the logical IDs. As a result, when a child node is updated and stored to a new location, but retains its logical ID, its parent node does not need to be updated, because the logical ID in the entry referencing the child node remains unchanged. Further, the storage system uses a secondary mapping table to translate the logical IDs to the corresponding physical locations of the corresponding nodes. Additionally, the secondary mapping table is cached in volatile memory, and as a result, the physical location of a required node is determined without accessing non-volatile memory.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for digital content classification and recommendation based upon reinforcement learning. A server converts unstructured text corresponding to each digital content item into a content item feature set. The server generates a user context vector associated with a plurality of users. The server trains a linear multi-armed bandit (MAB) classification model based upon the user context vectors and historical user content recommendation information. The server receives a new user context vector associated with a new user. The server executes the MAB model using the new user context vector as input to generate content interaction prediction scores. The server selects the content interaction prediction scores above a predetermined threshold and identifies the associated digital content item. The server presents the identified digital content items on a client device and receives a response. The server updates linear UCB coefficient vectors of the MAB model based upon the response.
