    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for training and using machine learning models are disclosed. Methods include creating a model that represents relationships between user attributes, content exposures, and performance levels for a target action using organic exposure data specifying one or more organic exposures experienced by a particular user over a specified time prior to performance of a target action by the particular user and third party exposure data specifying third party exposures of a specified type of digital component to the particular user over the specified time period. Using the model, an incremental performance level attributable to each of the third party exposures at an action time when the target action was performed by the particular user is determined. Transmission criteria for at least some digital components to which the particular user was exposed are modified based on the incremental performance.

  • Patent number: 12342554
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a method for fabricating an array structure of a columnar capacitor and a semiconductor structure, relating to the field of semiconductor manufacturing technology. In the method, before a mask layer is removed, a thickness of the mask layer in the peripheral region is first adjusted to be equal to a thickness of the mask layer in the array region, thereby avoiding damage to a top support layer caused by different thicknesses of the mask layer. Moreover, in the method, a thickness of the top support layer is increased by means of a supplementary support layer, to increase support strength of the top support layer, thereby further preventing occurrence of tilt of the columnar capacitor due to insufficient support strength of the top support layer.
