  • THUMBNAIL PERSONALIZATION FOR CONTENT DISCOVERY
    Publication number: 20260133836
    Abstract: According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method of thumbnail personalization is provided. The method includes initializing a thumbnail-personalization engine that includes a multi-armed bandit (MAB) model. The method includes allocating first user traffic to the plurality of thumbnails. The method includes calculating a first thumbnail-conversion rate of each thumbnail of the plurality of thumbnails based on performance data associated with the first user traffic. The method includes allocating second user traffic to the plurality of thumbnails based on the first thumbnail-conversion rate. The method includes calculating a second thumbnail-conversion rate of the plurality of thumbnails based on performance data associated with the second user traffic. The method includes determining an updated set of parameters for each arm of the MAB model based on a data decay function or a sliding-window period applied to the first thumbnail-conversion rate and the second thumbnail-conversion rate.

  • METHOD OF CHECKING LAYOUT DESIGN WITH MULTIPLE MATCHING ZONES
    Publication number: 20260050723
    Abstract: A method includes finding repeated layout patterns at least in a part of a layout design of an integrated circuit, identifying multiple layout units from the repeated layout patterns, and separating the layout design into multiple matching zones. At least two of the matching zones have different sets of matching rules. Each of the multiple layout units is in a first matching zone. The method also includes comparing a first layout unit with a second layout unit, and checking layout pattern consistency between the first layout unit and the second layout unit.

  • Treatment of Ocular Surface Disorders by Increasing Conjunctival Vascular Permeability
    Publication number: 20110217262
    Abstract: A method of treating an ocular surface disorder in a subject in need of such treatment is provided. The method includes exposing conjunctival tissue of the subject to an effective amount of a vasopermeability agent that increases conjunctival vascular permeability. In some embodiments, the agent is a nitric oxide donor, which may be in a sustained release form. A method of screening a substance for treating an ocular surface disorder is also provided.
