Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods provide a novel framework that provides mechanisms for enabling message senders to dictate, control and/or create dynamic immersive content consumption experiences for recipients of their messages. The disclosed framework provides message senders with previously non-existent functionality to control the experience and environment within which their messages are consumed. Conventional systems provide recipients with capabilities to consume messages and/or supplemental content; however, these capabilities are driven and controlled by the hosting messaging platform and/or the third party entity that is availed opportunities to provide supplemental content. The disclosed framework prevents such experiences by providing capabilities to the message sender that involves control not only over the experience of the sender's messages but also control over the experience of the environment in which the messages are consumed by their recipients.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and platforms for managing machine learning models are described. A model registry system receives first data including a model and second data including metadata and at least one metric of the model. Via a local network, the first data is stored to a data storage device and the second data is sent to an application programming interface (API). The first data is retrieved from the data storage device to a model use case program operating in a software development environment native to where the model registry system stores the model. The second data, including the metadata and the at least one metric of the model, is sent to a user interface (UI) via the API.

Abstract: Systems and methods for item price assignment. A line recommendation engine receives unassigned records from a queue and stores one or more line recommendations for the unassigned item record in a recommendation database. The line recommendation engine can determine a new line should be recommended, and/or which existing lines the unassigned item record could be assigned to. A user interface can display the one or more line recommendations for the unassigned item record to a user and receive an input indicating a selected line identifier for the unassigned item record. A machine learning engine can modify a parameter of the line recommendation engine based on the selected line identifier.

Abstract: An Internet-connected device, such as a car, refrigerator, or even a laptop can use a second device, such as a cell phone, to support cryptographic operations and communication with token service providers or other processing services requiring pre-provisioned capabilities that may include cryptographic secrets. By removing the need to store personally sensitive data in “Internet of Things” (IoT) devices, a user's personal information and other sensitive financial information may be contained to a relatively small number of devices. This may help prevent theft of goods or services by IoT devices that are not always under the close control of the user.
