Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for detecting emerging events. In various examples, a method for detecting emerging events includes obtaining communication data associated with communication between multiple sources, segmenting communication data into multiple segments, determining whether a data segment belongs to a familiar topic or none, and generating a notification when a familiar topic is mentioned for more or less than a mention prediction. Additionally, or alternatively, a notification may be generated when an unfamiliar topic emerges from a set of unfamiliar data segments if an associated segment count exceeds a critical mass threshold. To determine whether a data segment belongs to a familiar topic, the data segment may be transformed into a feature vector and mapped onto a feature space, where a distance-based similarity score may be determined.

Abstract: The invention relates to articles of footwear having traction elements, and systems and methods for manufacturing same. An example shoe includes an upper and a sole plate, the sole plate including a lower surface adapted for ground contact having a first sole portion including first traction elements, the first traction elements having a distal end and a side wall with extensions extending from a central core, and a second sole portion including second traction elements, the second traction elements having at least one geometrical feature differing in one or more aspects from a corresponding geometrical feature of the first traction elements.
