Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for generating termination notification of an experiment to be presented through a user interface. In some implementation examples, a termination notification system generates a probability value that is valid as of a time period of an experiment at a predetermined point in time based on at least data sample obtained during the time period, predicted sample sizes of each time period of the experiment, or probability values generated prior to the time period. Responsive to determining that the probability value that is valid as of the time period satisfies a threshold value, the termination notification system causes the user interface to present the termination notification that, when selected, causes the experiment to terminate prior to completion of a predicted duration of the experiment.

Abstract: A web browser can manage different session cookies associated with a website by storing the session cookies in distinct tab storage locations associated with different tabs of the web browser, instead of in a global storage location accessible by any tab of the web browser. When the web browser prepares to send a request associated with an active tab to a server associated with the website, the web browser can temporarily copy a corresponding session cookie into the global storage location from the tab storage location associated with the active tab. Accordingly, even if the website does not natively support multiple concurrent user sessions with the web browser, the web browser can send different session cookies to the website based on which tab of the web browser is active, and thereby allow users to engage in different user sessions with the website in different tabs.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a patent management system and method for remediating insufficiency of input data for a machine learning system. A plurality of data vectors using data are extracted from a plurality of data sources. A user input with respect to an input data context is received, the input data context correspond to a subset of the plurality of data elements. An input vector based on the user input is generated and a set of matching data vectors are determined from the plurality of data vectors based on the input vector. An insufficiency of the input data is determined based on a comparison of a number of matching data vectors with a first pre-determined threshold, and/or a variance with a second pre-determined threshold. Further, the set of matching data vectors are expanded by modifying the input vector when the input data is determined to be insufficient.

Abstract: Methods, and systems, for Multiagent Pathfinding for Non Dynamic Programming Problems, including a CE method which provides for sampling from a complex probability distribution that is not necessarily known in a closed form. The applications of this method include rare-event simulation, variance reduction for estimation problems, and stochastic optimization. The method iteratively searches for a probability distribution that is “close” to the intended distribution, where the closeness of distributions is measured using the Kullback-Liebler (KL) divergence between the distributions. At each step, the method generates samples according to a current candidate distribution from the family. Next, it uses those current candidate distribution samples to move the distribution toward a new candidate distribution that is closer in the sense of KL divergence to the target distribution.
