Abstract: Cutting elements for earth-boring tools include one or more recesses and/or one or more protrusions in a cutting face of a volume of superabrasive material. The superabrasive material may be disposed on a substrate. The cutting face may be non-planar. The recesses and/or protrusions may include one or more linear segments. The recesses and/or protrusions may comprise discrete features that are laterally isolated from one another. The recesses and/or protrusions may have a helical configuration. The volume of superabrasive material may comprise a plurality of thin layers, at least two of which may differ in at least one characteristic. Methods of forming cutting elements include the formation of such recesses and/or protrusions in and/or on a cutting face of a volume of superabrasive material. Earth-boring tools include such cutting elements, and methods of forming earth-boring tools include attaching such a cutting element to a tool body.

Abstract: Systems and methods for recommending media content items are provided. In some implementations, a method includes, identifying a first set of media items selected by a first plurality of users; causing a second set of media items to be displayed to a second user not included in the first plurality of users in accordance with the first set of media items. The first set of media items and the second set of media items are associated with a same media item category. In some implementations, the method optionally includes, identifying the second set of media items without regard to media content item selection history associated with the second user. In some implementations, the first and second sets of media items are news items.

Abstract: In general, this disclosure describes techniques for providing a user with an alert device that provides alert options indicatives of events associated with applications or actions of a computing device. The provided alert options may be such that they do not create additional distractions, and eliminate the need for the user to have to constantly check for upcoming appointments or events. Specifically, a user can utilize a device to receive alerts from an associated computing device. The alerts may be associated with applications and actions running on the computing device.

Abstract: A method includes: obtaining first click distribution data for a first subset of a plurality of media items, each of which is associated with one or more item categories, determining from the first click distribution data likelihood of a generic user selecting media items associated with at least a subset of the item categories, obtaining second click distribution data from a particular user for a second subset of the plurality of media items, determining, based on differences between the first and second click distribution data, an adjusted likelihood of the particular user selecting media items associated with the at least a subset of the item categories, and transmitting, based on the adjusted likelihood, to a client device associated with the particular user recommendations related to a third subset of the plurality of media items and respective item categories thereof.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a plurality of media items having associated classes are collected and stored in a media item repository. Generic selection data for a plurality of users of the media repository is collected and stored. The plurality of users includes a particular user of the media item repository. A likelihood of a generic user selecting media items associated with particular classes is determined. A likelihood of a particular user selecting media items associated with particular classes is determined. A relative likelihood of the particular user selecting media items associated with the particular classes compared to the generic user is determined. A first collection of media items reflecting the relative likelihood is sent to the particular user. Each of the media items is selectable by the particular user.

Abstract: Embodiments of a system (such as a computer system), a method, and a computer-program product (e.g., software) for use with the computer system are described. These embodiments may be used to provide one or more recommendations to a user based at least in part on monitored user actions while the user interacts with a support document (e.g., a website or a web page) that includes content for multiple support topics, such as help instructions associated with an application or a service. In particular, one or more support topics are associated with the monitored user actions using a supervised-learning model, and these support topics are recommended to the user. This supervised-learning model may be trained on portions of the content accessed by multiple users during multiple sessions. Moreover, in the supervised-learning model, content accessed by one of the users during a given session may be more relevant than content accessed by this user during the multiple sessions.
