  • Patent number: 11436532
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that identifies duplicate entities. During operation, the system selects training data for a first machine learning model based on confidence scores representing likelihoods that pairs of entities in an online system are duplicates. Next, the system updates parameters of the first machine learning model based on features and labels in the training data. The system then identifies a first subset of additional pairs of the entities as duplicate entities based on scores generated by the first machine learning model from values of the features for the additional pairs and a first threshold associated with the scores. The system also determines a canonical entity in each of the duplicate entities based on additional features. Finally, the system updates content outputted in a user interface of the online system based on the identified first subset of the additional pairs.

  • Patent number: 11272420
    Abstract: A data transmission method and related apparatuses are disclosed. A sanding node transmits a plurality of data packets to a receiving node at an initial transmission rate. Each data packet carries a random sequence number and a rolling sequence number. The random sequence number identifies a data part of the data packet, and the rolling sequence number indicates a transmission sequence of the data packet. The sending node receives a packet loss feedback from the receiving node. The packet loss feedback is generated after the receiving node detects a packet loss event according to rolling sequence numbers of received data packets. The sending node determines a random sequence number of a lost data packet based on the received packet loss feedback. The sending node transmits a replacement data packet to the receiving node. The replacement data packet carries a different rolling sequence number.
