Abstract: Disclosed are a method and electronic device for determining a faulty state of a storage device. A first time length of a first access to a set of blocks of a storage device is determined. Then, the first time length of the access and a threshold time length are compared. If the first time length exceeds the threshold time length, it is determined that the blocks are in a potential faulty state.

Abstract: Computer systems and methods for a research organization compute interests of clients in research work product, and, using deep learning and embedding techniques, digitalize client interest profiles and research content entities. A first machine learning model is trained to compute client-interest scores from, at least in part, client engagement data. The computer system is also configured to compute embeddings for each of the clients and embeddings for each of certain research topics. The embeddings are computed using a second machine learning model, such as deep artificial neural network, such that embeddings for clients with similar interests are close, distance-wise, in a client embedding space, and such that embeddings for certain research topics with similar client engagements are close, distance-wise, in a research topic embedding space. The second machine learning model can be trained with both positive and negative training samples generated from the client-interest scores.
