Abstract: Techniques are provided for storage tier verification checks. A determination is made that a mount operation of an aggregate of a set of volumes stored within a multi-tier storage environment has completed. A first metafile and a second metafile are maintained to track information related to the storage of objects of a volume of the aggregate within a remote object store that is a tier of the multi-tier storage environment. A distributed verification is performed between the first metafile and the second metafile to identify an inconsistency. Accordingly, the first metafile and the second metafile are reconciled to address the inconsistency so that storage information within the first metafile and the second metafile are consistent.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed herein for using machine learning models to predict proper resource levels and performance levels of those resources. One mechanism for predicting proper resource levels and performance levels of those resources may involve a use of a machine learning model that is enabled to receive user data as input and output a predication for one or more actions for each user. The users may be clustered based on the user action predicted by the machine learning model and one or more action sequences may be executed against each action cluster.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to managing skill proficiencies. Declared skills may be determined based on a job description and natural language processing (NLP) actions declared in one or more extraction models. An inference prompt for a large language model (LLM) may be generated based on the job description such that the job description and the declared skills may be included in the inference prompt. The LLM may be trained with the inference prompt to generate a response such that the inference prompt may be iteratively updated based on validations of the response. The LLM may be retrained with the updated inference prompt to generate an updated response that includes the inferred skills that may be separate from the declared skills. A job profile that corresponds to the job description may be updated to include the declared skills and the separate inferred skills.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to managing data for unified graph representation of skills and acumen. Information associated with one or more subjects may be classified to provide profile information that conforms to a unified schema. Fields of the profile information may be classified as facts, fact-relationships, actions, skills, or skill-relationships based on the unified schema. A plurality of profile graphs may be generated based on map models and the facts, the fact-relationships, the actions, the skills, or the skill-relationships such that the map models include one or more directives for associating the facts, the fact-relationships, the actions, the skills, or the skill-relationships with one or more nodes or one or more edges in the plurality of profile graphs. In response to query information provided by one or more analysis applications, classifying a portion of the plurality of profile graphs based on the query information.

Abstract: A system and method is described for using areas in or near photo global alignment marks or in or near unpatterned areas of a semiconductor wafer to create structures for secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) testing or electron beam (E-Beam) testing or X-ray diffraction (XRD) testing of the semiconductor wafer. The present invention makes it possible to obtain wafer level information about the front-end processing of the semiconductor wafers. The SIMS/E-Beam/XRD testing measures characteristics such as the dopant content, thickness variations, and defect density of the wafers. The present invention eliminates the need to build individual test structures within product dies and eliminates the need to build scribe line structures near the product dies.
