Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for generating a resource allocation in an omnichannel distribution network. Demand forecast data and current inventory data related to a resource and the omnichannel distribution network are obtained and an ally-adversary bimodal inventory optimization (BIO) computer model is instantiated that includes an adversary component that simulates, through a computer simulation, a worst-case scenario of resource demand and resource availability, and an ally component that limits the adversary component based on a simulation of a limited best-case scenario of resource demand and resource availability. The BIO computer model is applied to the demand forecast data and current inventory data, to generate a predicted consumption for the resource. A resource allocation recommendation is generated for allocating the resource to locations of the omnichannel distribution network based on the predicted consumption, which is output to a downstream computing system for further processing.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a computing device, a non-transitory storage medium, and a computer implemented method of improving a computational efficiency of a computing platform in processing a time series data includes receiving the time series data and grouping it into a hierarchy of partitions of related time series. The hierarchy has different partition levels. A computation capability of a computing platform is determined. A partition level, from the different partition levels, is selected based on the determined computation capability. One or more modeling tasks are defined, each modeling task including a group of time series of the plurality of time series, based on the selected partition level. One or more modeling tasks are executed in parallel on the computing platform by, for each modeling task, training a model using all the time series in the group of time series of the corresponding modeling task.

Abstract: A method for preventing contamination of a substrate surface includes obtaining a substrate having a surface to be protected from contamination and depositing a removable protective salt coating on the substrate surface. A disclosed method also includes storing the substrate surface having the removable protective salt coating for a time period and then removing the protective salt coating. A method for selectively preventing atomic layer deposition (ALD) on a substrate surface exposed to an ALD process includes depositing a removable protective salt coating on the substrate surface, exposing the surface to an ALD process, and removing the protective salt coating. Some disclosed substrate surfaces include a thiol-on-gold monolayer, a silicon wafer, glass, a silanized surface, and a dental implant. The protective salt coating may have a thickness in the range of 50 nm to 1 ?m. The protective salt coating may be deposited by thermal evaporation or similar process.
