Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically prioritizing computing resource configurations for remediation include receiving information describing configuration issues that may result in impaired system performance or unauthorized access, parsing that information and automatically analyzing configuration details of a user's private computing environment to determine that assets provide an environment in which configuration issues may be exploited to produce undesired results. Such systems and methods can generate assessments indicating the likelihood an issue can be exploited and potential impacts of the issue being exploited. Such systems and methods can use these assessments to generate a report prioritizing remediation of specific configuration issues for specific vulnerable assets based on the actual configuration of the user's computing resources and the data managed using those resources.

Abstract: Systems and methods receive an asset identification and one or more criterion to at least one of a locale, a market, a target, or an experiment and process a graph having a plurality of sub-graphs to define an asset having one or more desired variants. The asset is then published having the one or more desired variants. Multiple entities are represented as a single entity, which can be used for localization of the asset (e.g., image, video, custom data) or pages. By associating one entity (e.g., an image) across all variations of the entity, the needed storage space for the plurality of assets (e.g., images or videos) is reduced.

A processor accesses a database to obtain data corresponding to a plurality of test results of test runs conducted over a certain period of time for a set of plurality of tests and data corresponding to a change set; generates historical data based on the data corresponding to the plurality of test results and the change set; assigns a test failing probability value for each test among the set of plurality of tests based on analyzing the historical data; identities a first test whose assigned test failing probability value is below a predetermined threshold value; and filters out the identified first test from the set of plurality of tests whose assigned test failing probability value is below the predetermined threshold value so that the identified first test is not utilized for future test runs.

Abstract: A different combination of multiple portions of a content item is selected for display to each of multiple sets of users of an online messaging application. The different combination of portions of the content item is sent for display to the corresponding set of users within a user interface of the online messaging application in association with information identifying a set of message threads in which each user is participating. A request to view the entire content of the content item is then received from a subset of each of the sets of users and a performance metric associated with each combination of portions of the content item is tracked based on the received request. Based on the performance metric, a performance of each portion of the content item is evaluated and used to select an optimal combination of the portions of the content item.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for providing dynamic communication threads in response to a detected interaction with a sponsored digital content item. For example, systems and method described herein detect a user interaction with a sponsored digital content item and generate a screened communication thread between the user and the sponsor that is not available to the sponsor. The screened communication thread serves as a reminder to the user of the sponsored digital content item. Systems and methods described herein convert the screened communication thread to an open communication thread based on user interaction with the screened communication thread (e.g., after the user submits a reply in the screened communication thread). Thus, systems and methods described herein protect the user's online privacy unless and until the user indicates a desire to interact with the sponsor.

Abstract: A method of dynamic memory management in a user equipment (UE) is provided. The method includes receiving, by the UE, transport block size (TBS) information, from a base station (BS), associated with a data packet to be transmitted by the BS to the UE; identifying, by the UE, a plurality of empty bins and a size of each of the plurality of empty bins in a memory of the UE; detecting, by the UE, a presence of one or more empty bins, among the plurality of empty bins in the memory, with a size of each of the one or more empty bins greater than the TBS of the data packet; and allocating, by the UE, a smallest size empty bin, with a size greater than the TBS of the data packet, among the one or more empty bins to the data packet.

Abstract: Geotag data embedded in a photograph is converted to a multilevel hierarchical place name tag, which is a new data structure. Higher hierarchy levels correspond to larger geographical regions. Lower hierarchy levels correspond to smaller geographical regions. The geotag data is used to locate the photograph on a map. A cluster of nearby photographs is defined and represented by a consolidated pin. The identification and quantity of clustered photographs depends on the relative locations of the photographs and the map zoom level. A consolidated pin label is defined based on which hierarchy levels, if any, have a common place name tags. In some cases the consolidated pin label includes only place name tags that are shared amongst all clustered photographs. In other cases the consolidated pin label includes a short list of mutually exclusive place name tags. The consolidated pin label is displayed on the map near the consolidated pin.
