Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include processes that manage a cryptographically secure generation and exchange of data between network-connected systems operating within a computing environment using a permissioned distributed ledger. For example, and based on secure interaction with a distributed smart contract maintained within ledger blocks of the permissioned distributed ledger, an apparatus and a counterparty system may generate local symmetric encryption keys that facilitate a secure communication session between the apparatus and the counterparty system. Using the symmetric encryption key, the apparatus may generate a cryptographically secure representation of generated or obtained data, which may be transmitted to the counterparty system across the secure communications channel.

Abstract: Systems and methods for predicting feature values in a matrix are disclosed. In example embodiments, a server accesses a matrix, the matrix having multiple dimensions, one dimension of the matrix representing features, and one dimension of the matrix representing entities. The server separates the matrix into multiple submatrices along a first dimension, each submatrix including all cells in the matrix for a set of values in the first dimension. The server provides the multiple submatrices to multiple machines. The server computes, using each machine, a correlation between values in at least one second dimension of the matrix and a value for a preselected feature in the matrix, the correlation being used to predict the value for the preselected feature based on other values along the at least one second dimension. The server provides an output representing the computed correlation.

For example, an apparatus may receive first information that characterizes an exchange of data initiated by a first application program executed by the apparatus, and may generate and transmit a signal to a computing system through a programmatic interface associated with a second application program executed by the apparatus. In some instances, the first signal may include the first information and data that instructs the computing system to obtain a digital token representative of a data type available for use in the data exchange. The apparatus may also receive a second signal that includes the digital token and based on the digital token, perform operations that present second information characterizing the available data type on an interface.

The apparatus may establish the transaction session in response to the determined validity of the session identifier. The transaction session may be associated with first and second operations characterized by values of corresponding parameters.

Based on the sensor data, the device may generate a usage parameter that characterizes the operation of the device during a temporal period, and perform an operation consistent with the provisioned service in accordance with the generated usage parameter.

Abstract: Techniques for dynamically altering weights to re-weight attributes of an ordering model based on feedback in a streaming environment are described. In an embodiment, a system accesses, based on a candidate stream definition comprising a role including a title, one or more stream-related information sources, and extracts attributes from the sources. Additionally, the system inputs the attributes to a combined ordering model that is trained by a machine learning algorithm to output ordering scores for member profiles of an online system (e.g., hosting a social networking service). The combined ordering model includes weights assigned to the attributes. Moreover, the system orders, based on the ordering scores, the profiles. Furthermore, the system presents, on a display, of top-ordered profiles. Then, the system accesses feedback regarding the top-ordered profiles and dynamically trains the weights assigned to each of the attributes to alter the weights assigned to the attributes based on the feedback.

Abstract: Systems and methods for query term weighting are disclosed. A server receives a search query for employment candidates, the search query comprising a set of parameters, each parameter having a weight. The server generates, from a data repository storing records associated with professionals, a first set of search results based on the set of parameters and the weights of the parameters in the set. The server transmits the first set of search results. The server receives a response to search result(s) from the first set of search results, the search result(s) being associated with a set of factors, the response indicating a level of interest in the search result(s). The server adjusts the parameters in the set of parameters or adjusts the weights of the parameters based on the response to the search result(s). The server provides an output based on the adjusted parameters or the adjusted weights.
