Abstract: An authoritative candidate is selected for determining a location of a point of interest (POI). Source data including name, address, and location for POIs is received from multiple data sources. The received data is normalized for ease of comparison, and coordinates for each candidate are compared to coordinates of other candidates to determine which candidate if any is an authoritative location for the POI. The candidate locations are compared using two models a metric-based scoring system and a machine learning model that may utilize a gradient boosted decision tree. The authoritative candidate can be used to render digital maps that include the POI. In addition, the authoritative candidate's location can be used to provide vehicle route guidance to the POI.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide a storage controller with write-back caching capabilities that may be used during scenarios where the storage controller is required to provide write-through caching, and thus unable to utilize internal cache memory for write-back caching. The storage controller utilizes an allocation of persistent memory that is made available by the host IHS (Information Handling System), to which the storage controller is coupled. In scenarios where the storage controller is required to provide write-through caching, the storage controller may be configured to route received write data to the allocated host memory. In this manner, the data integrity provided by write-through operations is maintained, while also providing the host IHS with the speed of write-back operations. When ready to store the write data, the storage controller may request the flushing of write data from the allocated host memory.
