Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed technologies include generating a reward score for an entity. A rate distribution is determined using the reward score. A sampled rate value is generated by sampling the rate distribution. A probability score is generated for a pair of the entity and a user using the sampled rate value. A probability distribution is determined using the probability score. A sampled probability value is generated by sampling the probability distribution. A machine learning model is trained using the sampled probability value.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed technologies include generating a reward score for an entity. A rate distribution is determined using the reward score and a number of times the entity has been selected for ranking. A sampled rate value is generated by sampling the rate distribution. A probability score is generated for a pair of the entity and a user based on the sampled rate value. A probability distribution is determined using the probability score. A sampled probability value is generated by sampling the probability distribution. A machine learning model is trained using the sampled probability value.

Abstract: The present invention features interferon-free therapies for the treatment of HCV. Preferably, the treatment is over a shorter duration of treatment, such as no more than 12 weeks. In one aspect, the treatment comprises administering at least two direct acting antiviral agents to a subject with HCV infection, wherein the treatment lasts for 12 weeks and does not include administration of either interferon or ribavirin, and said at least two direct acting antiviral agents comprise (a) Compound 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and (b) Compound 2 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: An interactive toy comprising a function device for performing user-perceptible, controllable functions. The interactive toy also includes a rechargeable power source and a charging circuit for contactless receipt of electrical energy and for charging the rechargeable power source when the interactive toy is positioned in a charging zone of a contactless charging device. The interactive toy is adapted to determine a charging rate at respective positions relative to the charging device and to generate a user-perceptible output indicative of the determined charging rate.

Abstract: Systems and methods for enhanced mobile device authentication are disclosed. Systems and methods for enhanced mobile authentication are disclosed. In one embodiment, method for electronic device authentication may include (1) a server comprising at least one computer processor communicating a one-time passcode to an electronic device over a first communication channel; (2) the server receiving, from the electronic device over a second communication channel the one-time passcode encrypted with a private key associated with the electronic device; (3) the server decrypting the one-time passcode using a public key; (4) the server validating the one-time passcode; (5) the server generating a device identifier for the electronic device; and (6) the server persisting an association between the device identifier and the electronic device.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include (1) accessing a first media data object and a different, second media data object that, when played back, each render temporally sequenced content, (2) comparing first temporally sequenced content represented by the first media data object with second temporally sequenced content represented by the second media data object to identify a set of common temporal subsequences between the first media data object and the second media data object, (3) identifying a set of edits relative to the set of common temporal subsequences that describe a difference between the temporally sequenced content of the first media data object and the temporally sequenced content of the second media data object, and (4) executing a workflow relating to the first media data object and/or the second media data object based on the set of edits. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for high availability routing of a communication is provided. A broadcast routing message that includes a voice termination identifier is received from a communication service. Based upon the broadcast routing message, a secondary path for routing communications to an endpoint of the communication service associated with the voice termination identifier is identified. The secondary path provides an alternative route around a primary route over a packet-switched network to the communication service. An indication to setup a call to the endpoint. A metric for the primary route for the call through the service provider network connection that does not meet a defined condition is identified. In response to identifying that the metric for the primary route for the call through the service provider network connection does not meet the defined condition, the call is routed using the secondary path to the endpoint through the communication service.

Abstract: A combination comprising a Mcl-1 inhibitor and a second anticancer agent, wherein the second anticancer agent is selected from anthracyclines, cytarabine and hypomethylating agents, and compositions and uses thereof.

Abstract: Example systems and methods are described that help increase the situational awareness of a user of a helmet, such as a motorcycle helmet. One or more cameras are physically coupled to the helmet, where each camera includes a lens and an associated image sensor. Each camera is configured to generate a video feed, which is presented to a user on a display. The video feed represents a field-of-view around the helmet, and may be projected onto a surface, such as the visor of the helmet, thereby enabling enhanced situational awareness for the user of the helmet.
