Abstract: A processor may receive user interaction data of a user for a plurality of electronically-presented offers. The processor may generate a plurality of labels, the generating comprising generating a label for each respective offer according to a comparison of the quality of the user interactions of the respective offer to the frequency of the user interactions of the respective offer. Each label may be a positive label or a negative label. The processor may determine whether the generating produced both positive and negative labels. The processor may select one of a plurality of available ML models, wherein a two-class ML model is chosen in response to determining that the generating produced both positive and negative labels and a one-class ML model is chosen in response to determining that the generating did not produce both positive and negative labels.

Abstract: Described herein are circuit assemblies comprising flexible interconnect circuits and/or other components connected to these circuits. In some examples, conductive elements of different circuits are connected with support structures, such as rivets. Furthermore, conductive elements of the same circuit can be interconnected. In some examples, a conductive element of a circuit is connected to a printed circuit board (or other devices) using a conductor joining structure. Interconnecting different circuits involves stacking these circuits such that the conductive element in one circuit overlaps with the conductive element in another circuit. A support structure protrudes through both conductive elements and any other components positioned in between, such as dielectric and/or adhesive layers. This structure electrically connects the conductive elements and also compresses the conductive elements toward each other.

Abstract: Isolating resources of a virtual machine (VM) guest from a host operating system. A computer system receives an acceptance request from a guest partition corresponding to an isolated VM. The acceptance request identifies a guest memory page that is mapped into a guest physical address space of the guest partition, and a memory page visibility class. The computer system determines whether a physical memory page that is mapped to the guest memory page meets the memory page visibility class. The computer system sets a page acceptance indication for the guest memory page from an unaccepted state to an accepted state based on the physical memory page meeting the memory page visibility class.
