Abstract: A network system coordinates users who provide geographical location-based services to users. Users can provide textual feedback regarding the services provided by other users. To create a safe user experience and encourage users to continue using the services, the network system determines safety risks of the users by analyzing the textual feedback from users along with metadata associated with the textual feedback. For example, the network system determines a safety score for a user based on classifying textual feedback according to different types of safety risk related to topics such as vehicle operation or interpersonal behavior. The network system can train classifiers using feature vectors derived from textual feedback previously received from users of the network system, which may be labeled in a supervised training process. The network system may provide interventions to high-risk users to help mitigate their safety risk and prevent safety incidents from occurring.

Abstract: Transient voltage noise, including resistive and reactive noise, causes timing errors at runtime. A heuristic framework, Walking Pads, is introduced to minimize transient voltage violations by optimizing power supply pad placement. It is shown that the steady-state optimal design point differs from the transient optimum, and further noise reduction can be achieved with transient optimization. The methodology significantly reduces voltage violations by balancing the average transient voltage noise of the four branches at each pad site. When pad placement is optimized using a representative stressmark, voltage violations are reduced 46-80% across 11 Parsec benchmarks with respect to the results from IR-drop-optimized pad placement. It is shown that the allocation of on-chip decoupling capacitance significantly influences the optimal locations of pads.

Abstract: Roughly described, a system for estimating an effective channel length of a 3D transistor having a gate length below 20 nm involves estimating an effective volume of the channel and a cross-sectional area of the channel, and estimating the effective channel length as the ratio of effective volume to cross-sectional area. Preferably the effective volume is estimated as the sum of the Voronoi volumes within containing boundaries of the channel, excluding those volumes having a dopant concentration above the source/drain dopant concentration at the carrier injection point. The containing boundaries can be identified using geometry data describing the transistor, particularly the data identifying inner surfaces of the gate dielectric. The estimated effective channel length can be used in TCAD level analysis of the transistor and calculating characteristics of the transistor as needed for circuit simulation.
