Abstract: A method or system for generating recommendations based on detected correlations of static and dynamic data. For example, the system generates feature inputs for the machine learning model that is based on labeled static data as well as dynamic data indicating current usage. Notably, the dynamic data is not retrieved from a data store of known training data, but instead is streamed in real time from active databases accessible to the network. Furthermore, the system provides a formatting mechanism that translates user selected requirements and parameters from a human-readable format indicating particular attributes of a database to optimize (e.g., database performance, security, compliance, capacity planning, etc.) into data that may be included in a machine learning feature input that specifies which correlations to use (e.g., server operational statistics data, server log data, monitoring metrics, etc.).

Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) receives a media broadcast including media items and embedded watermarks. A watermark detection module included in the RF receiver operates in a low-power state, during which the watermark detection module does not attempt to detect the embedded watermarks. The watermark detection circuitry is activated, thereby transitioning from the low-power state to an active state, in response to receiving an attention marker. during the active state the watermark detection circuitry attempts to detect the embedded watermarks in the media broadcast, and continues to do so until an indication that watermark detection is to be discontinued is received. In response to receiving the indication that the watermark detection is to be discontinued, the watermark detection module is again placed in the low-power state.

Abstract: Mosquito species cause severe and debilitating illnesses. Despite significant advances in clinical medicine, no specific drugs or vaccines are available for diagnosis, treatment, and management of majority of mosquito-borne illnesses. A method and system for evaluating and reducing the degree of mosquito attractiveness of an individual is provided. The methodology involves computation of a metric based on analysis of the host’s skin microbial profile and is thus expected to estimate individualized attractiveness profiles. A specific set of bacterial species contributing to skin attractiveness for mosquitoes have been identified and relative abundances of the bacterial species in the identified set have been custom engineered to generate novel features. These features have been utilized for computing an index referred to as a ‘Mosquito Attractiveness Quotient (MAQ)’ that quantifies or measures the degree of mosquito-attractiveness of individual.
