Abstract: Exemplary methods for use in identifying crosses for use in plant breeding are disclosed. One exemplary method includes generating population prediction scores for each potential cross within a set of potential crosses, where each population prediction score is associated with a prediction of commercial success for the associated potential cross within the set of potential crosses. The method also includes selecting a subgroup of potential crosses, based on thresholds associated with the population prediction scores for the set of potential crosses. The exemplary method further includes selecting multiple target crosses from the subgroup of potential crosses based on a genetic relatedness of the parents in the subgroup of potential crosses, and directing ones of the selected target crosses into a breeding pipeline, thereby providing crosses to the breeding pipeline based, at least in part, on commercial success of parents included in the selected ones of the filtered crosses.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device identifies, based on traceroute information for a path in a network between an endpoint client and an online application, a particular segment of the path as most likely to cause degraded performance along the path. The device makes, using a prediction model, a prediction that routing traffic for the online application via the path will result in degraded quality of experience for the online application. The device obtains, based on the prediction, additional traceroute information in the network, to identify a bypass path in the network between the endpoint client and the online application that bypasses the particular segment. The device causes traffic for the online application to be routed along the bypass path.
