Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for reducing the computational burden related to performing one or more experiments. The set of item assets (e.g., images, text, features, descriptions, etc.) may be reduced in an intelligent manner to enable the set to include more disparate assets. The system may obtain vectors that describe each asset.

Using the similarity scores (or similarity representations) as a guide, the user may reduce the set of assets. The reduced set of assets may then be utilized to perform one or more experiments in order to identify an optimal selections from the assets. In some embodiments, the one or more experiments may utilize an explore/exploit algorithm (e.g., a multi-armed bandit algorithm) to identify an optimal selection of item assets.

Abstract: A combined on-package and off-package memory system uses a custom base-layer within which are fabricated one or more dedicated interfaces to off-package memories. An on-package processor and on-package memories are also directly coupled to the custom base-layer.

Abstract: A system for resolving exceptions in requests determines that a request comprises an exception. The exception impeded processing the request to be granted or denied. The system determines a type of exception that indicates whether the exception is incomplete information, incorrect information, or previously-unknown information. The system generates a block in a blockchain network. Based on the stored details in the block, the type of exception is identified. Accordingly, the block is segregated for exception processing based on its exception type. The system stores the exception in the block. The system compares the request with user information previously provided by the user. The system determines a similarity score between the request and the user information. The system compares the similarity score with a threshold percentage. In response to determining that the similarity score exceeds the threshold percentage, the system determines that the exception can be resolved and resolves the exception.
