The server may decrypt the cryptogram and determine a context of the account based on one or more attributes of the account. The server may select, based on the decryption of the cryptogram and the determined context, a first redirect URL of a plurality of redirect URLs. The server may transmit, to the client, a response including the redirect URL. The server may receive, from the client, a second request including the redirect URL. The server may transmit, to the client, a response including a resource at the redirect URL.

Abstract: In one or more examples, a method comprises advancing a tubing string along a primary wellbore toward a junction having a low-side exit to a secondary wellbore, with a guide sub positioned at a leading end of the tubing string. The guide sub has a buoyancy within a well fluid external to the guide sub. The buoyancy of the guide sub is used to bias the guide sub toward a high-side of the primary wellbore while moving the guide sub across the low-side exit to a downstream portion of the primary wellbore. Subsequently, the guide sub is used to guide a fluid or tubular component between the tubing string and the downstream portion of the primary wellbore across the low-side exit.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed assessing reliability between two computing devices. A distributed database may maintain reliability associations between pairs of computing devices. Each reliability association may indicate a particular device has determined (e.g., locally) that another device is reliable. In order to determine an amount of reliability between a first computing device and a second computing device, an ordered combination of the reliability associations may be determined utilizing the distributed database. The ordered combination of reliability associations may identify a reliability path between the first computing device and the second computing device. An amount of reliability may be determined based on the reliability path. An interaction between the devices may be allowed or restricted based at least in part on the amount of reliability between the computing devices.

The set of distinguishing features are selected from domain specific features and signal property based generic features of the physiological signals. The disclosed method is used for classification of CL in scenarios such as to check how the cognitive load of a candidate varies during interviews, to assess the participants workload during online meetings and so on.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for using multi-modal regression to predict customer intent to contact a merchant. Multi-modal data including numerical data and unstructured data are extracted from customer interactions with the merchant. Features of the numerical data and the unstructured data are separately extracted and classified using techniques specific to the data types. The features for each type are then separately used to predict probabilities of customer intent. A neural network is used to combine the predictions into a single set of estimates of customer intent. This set of estimates of customer intents is used to estimate a probability that the customer will contact the merchant. The customer is then contacted based on the estimate.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic computer modeling using incomplete data are provided. The system can yield a total score indicative of an accuracy and reliability of a model for a given application based on incomplete data. The system can receive one or more sets of datasets, classify each dataset among the set of datasets based on a classification component, and determine a normalized score for each dataset based on a value or values of each dataset. If a classification component does not comprise more than one dataset, then the system determines a classification component score for each dataset as the normalized score. If a classification component comprises more than one dataset, the system assigns a weighted data value to each dataset of the classification component. A classification component score is determined for each weighed dataset by applying the weighted data value to the normalized score for each weighed dataset.
