Abstract: A system and method for efficiently matching into an extremely large data set uses two data stores. A search data store contains identifiers that correspond to localized portions of the main data store, along with matching values for that portion of the main data store. To perform a matching operation, the search data store is first searched for a matching value. Then the identifier for the localized portion of the main data store is retrieved from the search data store. Using this identifier, a search may be performed against only the corresponding localized portion of the main data store rather than the entire main data store.

Abstract: A dynamic digital advertising content system having a front end system and a back end system, and used to present product content to a user's computing device in the form of a digital circular. The back end system provides retailers and third party access to upload, and update, product content information for the digital circular, including videos and animations. The dynamic digital advertising content system can include integrations for third-parties such as digital coupon providers and loyalty program providers. The system permits users the ability to share with other users merchandise displayed in the digital circular and/or selected for a shopping list. Such shared content can be dynamically arranged for subsequent presentation on a computing device of the recipient. The digital circular is further customizable for individual retailers or retailer locations, as well as customizable based on detected histories and/or characteristics of the user receiving the digital circular.

Abstract: A retail media network system that dynamically arranges and/or resizes item cards containing item content from various vendors in a digital circular. A selection of a digital advertisement associated with a vendor and a retailer can trigger the system to utilize vendor parameters associated with that vendor such that the item card of that vendor is positioned in a primary position in the digital circular, while item cards not associated with that vendor are arranged at secondary positions. The system can therefore dynamically arrange the digital circular in response to user selections of digital advertisements that are associate with different vendors, and thus in accordance with the particular vendor parameters of those different vendors. The system can also track user visits to stores of the retailers in connection with evaluating direct and compound returns to the vendors for expenditures related to associated digital advertisements and/or placement in digital circulars.

Abstract: A method includes: receiving system data corresponding to an engine system. The system data includes a plurality of remaining useful life (RUL) values with each RUL value associated with a component of the engine system. The method further includes: comparing a first RUL value to a service interval threshold; generating a near-term service recommendation including a first list of components that correspond to each RUL value that are less than or equal to the service interval threshold; generating an extended term service recommendation including a second list of components and a downtime prediction; generating a coordinated service recommendation by dynamically populating one or more fields of the coordinated service recommendation based on the near-term service recommendation and the extended term service recommendation; and providing the combined service recommendation to a user device.

Abstract: An entity resolution data structure system compares two data graphs by creating a confusion matrix in a distributed processing environment. A benchmark file is created from one data graph for comparison to a reference data graph. Identifiers and metadata are appended to the benchmark file to allow the comparison to take place and the construction of a confusion matrix. The confusion matrix provides a high-level indication of the results of the comparison. When the data graphs contain personally identifiable information (Pll), the process does not require any Pll to be transmitted in either direction between the parties who maintain the data graphs to be compared.

Abstract: A method for improving fault tolerance of MapReduce computing systems processing extremely large data sets employs a custom mapper script that outputs the results to the shuffle and reduce processes. The Reducer writes its results into multiple files that are then compressed. The resulting files are processed by a map-only Reducer job that aggregates and reduces the results of a single file into a single output. The non-block compression prevents the file from being split across multiple mappers. The job can recover if a single mapper fails without requiring that each Map node be rerun, thus improving fault tolerance.

Abstract: A system and method for transforming input data in a data graph is structured in such a way that it does not destroy embedded contextual data yet also keeps the number of edges in the data graph sufficiently small in number that computation with respect to the data in the data graph is feasible with existing computational resources on extremely large graph sets. Incoming data is represented as a collection of “cliques” rather than placing each data object into its own node in the graph database. Maintaining the clique structure though the graph build pipeline dramatically reduces the exponential increase in the number of edges in the graph, while also maintaining all of the contextual data presented on the input record.

Abstract: Systems, media and methods for an interactive speed ladder are provided. A system includes a speed ladder that has parallel side members and parallel cross members each connecting each of the side members. The system may further include a receiving module configured to receive light path sequence data and foot movement data of a user relative to the speed ladder, wherein the light path sequence data and the foot movement data are received from different sources. The system may also further include lights, located within the cross members, configured to display a light path sequence based upon sequence data received prior to a start of the sequence and an output module configured to output user foot movement data.

Abstract: An apparatus and method to increase accuracy in individual attributes derived from anonymous aggregate data uses aggregation keys in order to retrieve distribution sets and generate best-effort results for individual attributes. Multiple aggregation keys may be utilized to which individual attributes may be cross-mapped. The aggregation keys may be divided into location-based aggregation keys and name-based aggregation keys. The resulting data may be of varying granularity depending upon the granularity of the aggregation key used for the distribution and to generate the attributes.
