Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed technologies obtain evidence from at least one electronic data source. The evidence can include unstructured data associated with an entity. A set of entity features is extracted from the evidence. The set of entity features includes at least one digital description of expertise associated with the entity. The set of entity features, including the at least one digital description of expertise, is encoded, in digital form, into an entity feature embedding. At least one entity expertise embedding is extracted from the entity feature embedding. The at least one entity expertise embedding encodes an entity domain and a level of expertise of the entity in the entity domain. The at least one entity expertise embedding can be stored in digital form as an entity embedding and/or provided to at least one downstream process, model, component, network, and/or system.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a polysaccharide having at least four saccharide units, such as stachyose, as a glass-forming agent for the freeze-drying of a reaction mixture comprising an enzyme. In particular, the enzyme is a polymerase useful in a nucleic acid amplification reaction such as a Polymerase Chain Reaction. Compositions comprising such polysaccharides as well as methods for preparing them, kits containing them and methods for using them form further aspects of the invention.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for improvements to model development, particularly in terms of source code commitments for these models. For example, methods and systems allow contributors to manage when and where commitments and/or the results of those commitments are stored and/or do so without the use of an additional layer of external software by correlating source code commitments and model result records during model development. Moreover, the methods and systems allow contributors to manage when and where commitments are store automatically without the use of an additional layer of external software through user of native source code commands and libraries.

Abstract: This application provides for determining a suggested action initiation time for an interaction with an interacting party. Some aspects comprise: determining an interaction settlement due date; querying an interaction database storing historical interaction records to determine if there is one or more of the historical interaction records related by one or more factors to the interacting party; retrieving, from the interaction database (where there is one or more historical interaction record(s) related to the interacting party), historical interaction data; determining from the retrieved historical interaction data a predicted processing time for the interaction; and determining, based on the interaction settlement due date and the predicted processing time, the suggested action initiation time.

Abstract: Methods and devices for generated and handling an alert are described. In one aspect, an electronic device includes an input interface and an output interface. The electronic device also includes a memory storing an application and a processor coupled to the input interface, the output interface and the memory. The processor is configured to generate a selectable alert on the output interface while the electronic device is in a device lock mode. The selectable alert is associated with the secure application. The processor is also configured to, while the electronic device is in the device lock mode, receive, from the input interface, a signal representing a command to activate the selectable alert. The processor is also configured to, responsive to receiving the command to activate the selectable alert, execute a secure event in the secure application while the electronic device remains in the device lock mode.

Abstract: An entity computing system for retrieving and consolidating data associated with a plurality of records for transmission to a second entity computing system is described. The entity computing system comprises a memory storing computer-executable instructions and at least one processing device. The processing device(s) receive request(s) to retrieve and consolidate data from multiple data sources associated with multiple records. The request comprises an apportionment rule indicating data to be retrieved from each of the data sources and consolidated for transmission to the second entity computing system via a secure network. The record(s) and data source(s) associated with the entity computing system are determined. Data in respect of the data source(s) associated with the entity computing system is retrieved according to the apportionment rule, stored in a consolidated data source and transmitted for receipt by the second entity computing system.

Abstract: Described are processing devices for detecting and addressing anomalies in data retrieval requests. According to some aspects, the processing device(s) are part of a first entity computing system and receives data retrieval request(s) from a second entity computing system. The processing device(s): extracts profile identity data, data retrieval parameter(s) and request type data from the data retrieval request(s); and retrieves data retrieval rules comprising an indication that the requested is to be retrieved automatically and historical retrieval request data associated with the second entity computing system comprising at least one prior data retrieval request of the second entity computing system. In response to determining that the data retrieval request comprises a request anomaly based on the historical retrieval request data, the processing device(s) generates and transmits alert data for receipt by a computing device and receives reply data responsive to the alert from the computing device.
