Abstract: Aspects described herein may relate to methods, systems, and apparatuses that partitions searchable content and distributes the segments across a plurality of processing nodes, which in turn further sub-partitions the partitions for processing by local search actor in order to increase the speed with which a search request from a user is processed. Processing nodes available to receive partitioned searchable content are registered with an external storage device. The external storage device also maintains a global results collector that compiles results from the partitions of searchable content. Respective local collector actors receive compiled results from local search actors for a processing node and the compiled results are sent to the global results collector for compiling for the plurality of processing nodes. Results of the user search request are then provided to the user.

Abstract: A targeting system based on a predictive targeting model based on observed behavioral data including visit data, user profile and/or survey data, and geographic features associated with a geographic region. The predictive targeting model analyzes the observed behavioral data and the geographic features data to predict conversion rates for every cell in a square grid of predefined size on the geographic region. The conversion rate of a cell indicates a likelihood that any random user in that cell will perform a targeted behavior.

Abstract: A system and method performed by a data processing system for invoking, from a first application, a process of a second application, is described. The system accesses, from the first application, a first message that indicates an operation request from a first member of a message group. The system invokes a process at the second application by submitting the operation request to the second application. The system receives an output of the process from the second application. Based on the output of the process and an identity of a second member of the message group, the system embeds a control element into the second message designated for delivering only to the second member. The embedded control element, upon activation based on a user input from the second member, causes the data processing system to interface with the second application to access a final result of the process.

Abstract: Data base performance is improved using write-behind optimization of covering cache. Non-volatile memory data cache includes a full copy of stored data file(s). Data cache and storage writes, checkpoints, and recovery may be decoupled (e.g., with separate writes, checkpoints and recoveries). A covering data cache supports improved performance by supporting database operation during storage delays or outages and/or by supporting reduced I/O operations using aggregate writes of contiguous data pages (e.g., clean and dirty pages) to stored data file(s). Aggregate writes reduce data file fragmentation and reduce the cost of snapshots. Performing write-behind operations in a background process with optimistic concurrency control may support improved database performance, for example, by not interfering with write operations to data cache. Data cache may store (e.g., in metadata) data cache checkpoint information and storage checkpoint information. A stored data file may store storage checkpoint information (e.g.

Abstract: Various embodiments include a system for generating performance monitoring data in a computing system. The system includes a unit level counter with a set of counters, where each counter increments during each clock cycle in which a corresponding electronic signal is at a first state, such as a high or low logic level state. Periodically, the unit level counter transmits the counter values to a corresponding counter collection unit. The counter collection unit includes a set of counters that aggregates the values of the counters in multiple unit level counters. Based on certain trigger conditions, the counter collection unit transmits records to a reduction channel. The reduction channel includes a set of counters that aggregates the values of the counters in multiple counter collection units. Each virtual machine executing on the system can access a different corresponding reduction channel, providing secure performance metric data for each virtual machine.

Abstract: Introduced here are approaches to determining causal relationships in mixed datasets containing data related to continuous variables and discrete variables. To accomplish this, a marketing insight and intelligence platform may employ a multi-phase approach in which dependency is established before the data related to continuous variables is discretized. Such an approach ensures that information regarding dependence is not lost through discretization.

Abstract: Methods and systems for identifying abnormal sounds in a particular environment. A normal audio stream obtained in the absence of abnormal sounds may be used as a baseline for subsequently processing an incoming audio stream with a processor to determine whether the incoming audio stream from the microphone in the particular environment includes an abnormal audio event for the particular environment. When it is determined that the incoming audio stream includes an abnormal audio event for the particular environment an electronic database may be accessed to determine a location of the abnormal audio event in the particular environment. A video camera with a field of view that includes the location of the abnormal audio event in the particular environment may be identified and the video stream from the identified video camera retrieved and displayed.
