Abstract: A data processing method includes receiving an event data stream, where the event data stream includes at least a first event data item and a second event data item, the first event data item includes a first timestamp for obtaining the first event data item, the second event data item includes a second timestamp for obtaining the second event data item, and the second event data item is obtained most recently before obtaining the first event data item; and obtaining a compressed event data stream corresponding to the event data stream, where the compressed event data stream includes at least a first compressed event data item corresponding to the first event data item, and the first compressed event data item includes first time information.

Abstract: Techniques for an iterative singular spectrum analysis are provided. In one technique, a first analysis, of time series data, is performed that results in a first reconstructed version of the time series data. The first analysis, of the time series data and a portion of the first reconstructed version, is then performed that results in a second reconstructed version of the time series data. Based on a termination condition, it is determined whether to perform the first analysis relative to a portion of a third reconstructed version of the time series data. A second analysis, of the time series data and a portion of a fourth reconstructed version of the time series data, is performed that results in a fifth reconstructed version of the time series data. The second analysis is different than the first analysis. A difference between the time series data and the fifth reconstructed version data is computed.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for generating ethylene by electrochemical selective hydrogenation of acetylene, including the following steps: continuously feeding acetylene gas into an organic solvent at a flow rate of 1 sccm to 50 sccm to obtain a solution; adding an electrolyte in the form of a solution or a solid such that the solution has an electrolyte concentration of 0.1 M to 3 M, a conductivity of 100 ?s·cm?1 to 500 ?s·cm?1, and a current density of 10 mA·cm?2 to 300 mA·cm?2; adding a hydrogen source such that the solution has a proton concentration of 0.1 M to 28 M; turning on an electrochemical treatment unit, and conducting constant-current or constant-potential electrolysis such that the acetylene gas is continuously and efficiently converted into ethylene gas after the electrolysis is stably conducted. The method has simple operations, low energy consumption, and quick response.

Abstract: Techniques for regional viewership predictions of broadcast events such as live broadcast professional sporting events. The techniques can make the predictions without a direct response variable such as regional viewership data for training a prediction model. Instead, in one technique, demand information for a good or service is used. From the demand information, a derivative demand for the good or service relative to a normal demand is determined. A regression framework is used to learn relationships between the derivative demand for the good or service and features of past live broadcast sporting events. This results in a matrix of feature weights. A non-parametric mixture framework is then used to find a set of feature weights that can be applied to features of future broadcast events to generate regional viewership predictions for the events.

Abstract: Techniques for predicting an impact of one or more events on service demand are disclosed. Some embodiments include first and second sets of data characterising properties of historic events using metadata tags, and demand for services that are then filtered to distinguish ordinary demand from extra-ordinary demand. Machine learning is used to determine correlations between metadata tags and extra-ordinary demand to produce a third data set operable for predictive determinations of future event on service demand.
