Abstract: A resource-efficient technique is described for producing and utilizing a set of trained embeddings. With respect to its training phase, the technique receives a group of sparsely-expressed training examples of high dimensionality. The technique processes the training examples using a distributed training framework of computing devices. With respect to its inference stage, the technique draws on the embeddings produced by the training framework. But in one implementation, the inference-stage processing applies a different prediction function than that used by the training framework. One implementation of interference-stage processing involves determining a distance between a query embedding and a candidate item embedding, where each such embedding is obtained or derived from the trained embeddings produced by the training framework. Another manifestation of inference-stage processing involves adjusting click counts based on identified relations among items embeddings.

Abstract: An electronic device obtains a plurality of collections of media content items, each collection of media content items being associated with text generated by one or more users of the media-providing service. Based on how frequently a first media content item co-occurs with a first descriptor in text for respective collections of media items that include the first media content item, the electronic device generates, without user input, a new collection of media content items for a first user. The new collection of media content items corresponds to the first descriptor and includes the first media content item. The electronic device presents the new collection of media content items to the first user as a recommendation.

Abstract: The automated collection of online data is enhanced by generating and saving a context between a document and a related named entity, as well as a credibility level of the online source. The context, credibility level, and quality and quantity of collected data are used to enhance the use of the collected data in automated decision-making. Both the quality and the quantity may be continuously updated and honed through machine learning. Three new algorithms—DUPES, CORRAL, and ONTO—have been introduced to support the above, improving current state-of-the-art engineering practice by sharpening the strategy for named-entity searching, for ensuring that topic modeling produces relevant topic tags, and for handling sentiment which may be NEGATIVE, POSITIVE, and NEUTRAL (which includes MISSING and INCONCLUSIVE).

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for determining network configurations through machine logic from security certificates of destination computer devices in the network. When a security component of a network receives an incoming data packet sent to a destination computer device in the network, a security certificate is requested from the destination computer device. The security component then configures a set of network rules for forwarding data packets to the destination computer device based on information in the security certificate of the destination computer device. Properties of the incoming data packet are compared to the set of network rules to determine whether to forward the incoming data packet to the destination computer.

Such a design allows for an inexpensive and lightweight inclination guide that may be easily and quickly adjusted after assembly.

Abstract: An electronic device obtains a plurality of collections of media content items, each collection of media content items being associated with text generated by one or more users of the media-providing service. The electronic device determines a coincidence metric for a first descriptor and a first media content item, the coincidence metric corresponding to a likelihood that the first descriptor appears in the text associated with a respective collection of media content items that includes the first media content item. Based on the coincidence metric, the electronic device generates a new collection of media content items for a first user. The new collection of media content items corresponds to the first descriptor and includes the first media content item.

Abstract: Described is a flow control device comprising a body locatable with a tubular and a flow regulator, housed within the body. The flow regulator defines a flow path through the body to accommodate flow between internal and external locations of a tubular in use. The flow regulator comprises a valve arrangement forming part of the flow path, and a biasing mechanism configured to urge the valve arrangement towards an open configuration from a restricted configuration in which fluid flow though the flow path is restricted. The biasing mechanism and the flow path through the flow control device are configured such that a differential pressure acting across the flow regulator, in excess of a particular threshold, moves the valve arrangement from the open configuration towards the restricted configuration in order to limit flow through the flow control device.
