Abstract: A tapping control method and a terminal, which relate to the communications field and can avoid frequent automatic setting of the terminal caused by an unconscious operation of a user, thereby implementing accurate operation control on the terminal and improving a capability of the terminal to interact with the user. A specific solution is as follows. The terminal detects a tapping trigger signal within a preset frequency range by using a shock sensor; after the tapping trigger signal is detected, identifies a tapping action type corresponding to the tapping trigger signal; acquires a tapping response event that matches the identified tapping action type; and executes the tapping response event. The present disclosure can be used in a process of operation control on the terminal.

Abstract: Content consumption session progress is predicted based on historical observations of how users have interacted with a repository of digital content. This is approached as a matrix completion problem. Information extracted from tracking logs maintained by one or more content providers is used to estimate the extent to which various content items are consumed. The extracted session progress data is used to populate a session progress matrix in which each matrix element represents a session progress for a particular user consuming a particular content item. This matrix, which in principle will be highly (?95%) sparse, can be completed using a collaborative filtering matrix completion technique. The values obtained as a result of completing the session progress matrix represent predictions with respect to how much of a given content item will be consumed by a given user.

Abstract: A social networking system provides access to personas comprising information, for example, web pages describing users or entities. The information may be suggested by the social networking system or requested by the user, for example, via search. The social networking system authenticates the personas so that only authentic personas are suggested to users or returned when a user is searching for information. The authenticity of a persona is determined based on the connections and/or likes coming from other personas, user accounts, or other entities represented within the social networking system that have been previously authenticated. The authenticity of the persona is also determined based on external links to the persona, for example, external websites referring to the persona or the rate at which external systems such as search engines direct web traffic to the persona.

Abstract: Device-to-device (D2D) communication is one alternative to communication between devices through a radio access network. One interesting D2D communication method is reuse-mode D2D, where D2D nodes communicate with each other using the same uplink (UL) radio resource that is being used by some other cellular user equipment(s) (UEs). In other words, the UL cellular resources occupied by cellular UEs are reused by D2D nodes in their short-range communications. Centralized control of D2D communication can be performed by appropriate signaling between a D2D-capable UE and an evolved Node B (eNB).

Abstract: An online system selects advertisements for a user based on characteristics of the user. The online system presents advertisements to the user having targeting criteria satisfied by the characteristics of the user. To increase the number of users eligible to be presented with an advertisement, the online system increases the users eligible to be presented with the advertisement to include users that do not meet targeting criteria included in the advertisement. The online system obtains a percentile of users based on a performance metric associated with the advertisement and determines a cutoff measure of affinity based on the percentile and measures of affinity between various users and the advertisement. A user is eligible to be presented with the advertisement if a measure of affinity between the user and the advertisement is greater than the cutoff measure of affinity for the advertisement.

Abstract: An online system selects advertisements for presentation a user based on characteristics of the user. The online system monitors performance of advertisements based on a goal for the advertisement and a time interval for achieving the goal. During a time period within the time interval, the online system determines an actual performance of the advertisement and compares the actual performance to a portion of the goal associated with the time period. If the actual performance does not satisfy the portion of the goal associated with the time period, the online system expands targeting criteria of the advertisement to increase a number of users eligible to be presented with the advertisement.

Abstract: Certain dentifrice compositions having a pyrophosphate ion and an alkaline pH have improved fluoride ion stability or fluoride uptake.

Abstract: A social networking system selects advertisements for a user based on user characteristics of the user in response to a request to present an advertisement to the user. To increase the number of advertisements eligible for presentation to the user, the social networking system associates the user with one or more cluster groups associated with targeting criteria that are not satisfied by the user's characteristics. To determine whether to associate a user with a cluster group, the social networking system determines a cluster score for the cluster group based on the user's characteristics. If the cluster score equals or exceeds a cluster cutoff score for the cluster group, the user is associated with the cluster group. The cluster cutoff score may be determined based on an estimated distribution of users so that a target number or percentage of users have cluster scores less than the cluster cutoff score.
