Abstract: Clusters of users of networked services are defined based on tasks performed by such users during such networked services. Activities of the users during sessions of the networked services are tracked, and representations of such users or such activities are used to train a model to predict activities of users in the future, including but not limited to services utilized by such users, or pages visited by such users. Subsequently, when a user accesses a networked service during a session, activities of the user may be determined, and a representation of the session is provided as an input to the model, along with contextual information such as an identifier of the persona of the user. A next action, e.g., a service or a page utilized by the user, may be predicted based on outputs received from the model.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating for presentation information about an event on a device that is in a mode of operation that prevents presentation of information about events. This may be accomplished by a media guidance application that receives a command, on a user device associated with a first user, to place the user device in a do not disturb mode. The media guidance application receives, while the user device is in the do not disturb mode, information about an event and determines whether the event is relevant to the user. The media guidance application then determines whether the event is trending among a plurality of users associated with the user and, if trending, displays, while the user device is in the do not disturb mode, a notification about the event to the user on the user device.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing scalable replication of object positions in virtual simulations are described herein. A computing device may determine a current position of an entity in a virtual simulation. The computing device may determine, based on the current position, a time derivative of the current position of the entity. The computing device may query a dictionary for the time derivative to obtain a particular index identifying a time derivative value that corresponds to the time derivative of the current position of the entity. The dictionary may comprise one or more time derivative value pairs associated with time derivatives of one or more previous positions of the entity. When the time derivative of the current position of the entity is in the dictionary, the computing device may encode the particular index. Further, the computing device may send the particular index to a client device.

Abstract: In some examples, a computing device may receive, from an email server, an email rule comprising conditions and actions and determine a subset of archived emails stored on the computing device that satisfy the conditions. The computing device may perform the actions to the subset of archived emails, such as placing a legal hold on the subset of archived emails, creating and sending copies of the subset of archived emails to the email server, or deleting, from the computing device, the subset of archived emails.

Abstract: The present embodiments relate to a CI replication service that can replicate domain data from IDCS control plane to data plane and to all subscribed regions of a domain. For instance, the CI replication service can provide replication of required resources of a domain for AuthN and AuthZ from an IDCS local region to other regions for high availability (e.g., to improve latency). The CI replication service can replicate the resources from a domain's home region to all subscribed regions for local availability of data for workloads running in those regions. Further, when a new region is subscribed for a domain, then the service can bootstrap that domain's data from home region before enabling that region for the domain.

Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for automated presentation of entertaining content during detected wait times. A user may utilize a computing device to interact with online service providers. During interactions, events may occur that cause data loading, such as during streaming, requesting data processing, uploading or downloading content, or the like. A service provider may monitor these interactions to determine whether the data loading event causes a wait time. If so, the service provider may monitor the user and the user's device during the wait time to determine activities and interactions occurring during this wait time. A processing engine, such as a rules engine and/or machine learning engine, may utilize the monitored data to detect if the monitored data exceeds a threshold to determine the user is reacting negatively to the wait time. If so, the service provider may automate content delivery on the user's device.

Abstract: Migration of a user of a computing device to accept an updated version of a software feature to the exclusion of a prior version of the software feature is implemented without user friction. Telemetry data corresponding to use of the updated version and of the prior version is stored. The telemetry data is evaluated utilizing a trained machine learning model trained using external telemetry data with respect to use of the updated version and to use of the prior version. A migration acceptance value indicative of whether the user will accept use of the updated version to exclusion of the prior version is calculated. The migration acceptance value is compared to a threshold value determined by the trained model. If the migration acceptance value exceeds the threshold value, the prior version is excluded from the user profile.
