Abstract: Computing technologies for benchmarking, which may be based on a k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) algorithm or another suitable machine learning algorithm, solve a cold start problem for a recommender engine employing a collaborative filtering algorithm when training data of user preferences or actual data of user actions is not available. For example, the cold start problem's unavailability of labeled data to train and develop a supervised model may be addressed by breaking the cold start problem down into two parts. The first part includes a KNN (or another suitable algorithm) model to cluster profiles based on a set of variables and this implementation of the KNN model is unsupervised, since there is no labeled data available to train the KNN model. The second part includes a prioritization algorithm that leverages certain outputs from the KNN model and neighbors to prioritize benchmarks.

Abstract: A diagnostic Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) procedure is applied to measure values of impedance-related parameters for one or more sensing electrodes. The parameters may include real impedance, imaginary impedance, impedance magnitude, and/or phase angle. The measured values of the impedance-related parameters are then used in performing sensor diagnostics, calculating a highly-reliable fused sensor glucose value based on signals from a plurality of redundant sensing electrodes, calibrating sensors, detecting interferents within close proximity of one or more sensing electrodes, and testing surface area characteristics of electroplated electrodes. Advantageously, impedance-related parameters can be defined that are substantially glucose-independent over specific ranges of frequencies. An Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) enables implementation of the EIS-based diagnostics, fusion algorithms, and other processes based on measurement of EIS-based parameters.
