Abstract: In order to facilitate entity resolution, systems and methods include a processor receiving first records associated with one or more entities, and second records associated with the one or more entities. The processor generates candidate pairs based on a similarity between first entity data and second entity data. The processor generates features for each candidate pair based on similarity measures between the first entity record and the second entity record. The processor utilizes a scoring machine learning model to determine a match score for each candidate pair based on each feature. The processor determines clusters of candidate pairs based on the match score of each feature for each candidate pair. The processor merges records of candidate pairs of each cluster into a respective entity record. The processor determines an entity associated with each entity record and updates an entity database with the entity record.

Abstract: A memory device comprising control circuitry configured to apply a first program voltage to a selected word line, wherein a first subset of memory cells of the selected word line, that correspond to a first set of data states, are inhibited from being programmed with the first program voltage, and wherein the first program voltage is applied to a second subset of memory cells corresponding to a second set of data states. The control circuitry is further configured to cause a first voltage of the selected word line to discharge to a second voltage level corresponding to a second program voltage such that the second program voltage is applied to at least the first subset of memory cells. The control circuitry is further configured to perform a verify operation to verify whether the first subset of memory cells and the second subset of memory cells have completed programming.

Abstract: Maintaining a timestamp indicating when data transferred to a remote storage system was written by a host at a local storage system includes writing a timestamp file at the local storage system, the timestamp file being part of a first chunk of data corresponding to current writes to the local storage system by the host, providing a second chunk at the local storage system, the second chunk being different from the first chunk and corresponding to writes by the host that were begun prior to beginning any of the writes for the first chunk, and transferring the writes for the second chunk to the remote storage system. Each chunk may be assigned a sequence number. The remote storage system may acknowledge receipt after receiving all data for the second chunk. The second chunk may be written to the remote storage system after receiving all data for the second chunk.
Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for compressing audio data. In an implementation, sampled values of an audio signal have a dynamic range. A division of the dynamic range, into at least a lower range and an upper range, is identified based on a fixed mapping of a lower portion of the sampled values to a subset of quanta in a set of quanta having a depth less than a depth of the sampled values. Then an adaptive mapping of an upper portion of the sampled values to a remaining subset of quanta in the set of quanta is also identified, based at least on a dimension of the upper range. The fixed mapping is used to encode the lower portion of the sampled values based, while the adaptive mapping is used to encode the upper portion of the sampled values based on the adaptive mapping.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for protecting an exhaust catalyst from degradation during a DFSO event. Exit from DFSO due to pedal input received from an operator with a jittery foot is averted by filtering the pedal input differently when operating in a DFSO mode as compared to when operating out of the DFSO mode. Exit from DFSO is confirmed after receiving a higher than threshold pedal position input for a sustained period of time, or when an integrated fuel injection amount exceeds a threshold amount.
