    Abstract: A system trains models to generate embeddings that represent likelihoods associated with features. For example, an embedding may be generated for users and pages such that a user's embedding represents how likely a user is to comment on a given page. Initially, memory space for storing each embedding may be overprovisioned. The system monitors the embeddings for a feature as they are generated and recalculated over time. If the system detects that a particular index value is never updated for embeddings of that feature, then the system may remove that value from the feature embeddings. This allows the array lengths of embeddings to be customized to the particular features they represent, saving memory space. The system may further use related information to identify pooling functions that are most effective for particular features, to identify similarities between entities, and to provide insight into how the feature data influences neural network layers.

    Abstract: The disclosed computing device may include electronic components, at least one of which is a processor. The computing device may also include a heat sink thermally coupled to the electronic components, as well as a temperature sensor that determines the current temperature inside the computing device. The computing device may further include a controller. The processor may generate a load schedule for the electronic components based on the current temperature inside the computing device. This load schedule ensures that a maximum temperature for the heat sink is not exceeded even when the total system power load exceeds, for a short period of time, the maximum sustainable power level the heat sink can dissipate. The controller may then load the electronic components according to the generated load schedule. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A method to untarget users of an online service for advertising includes embedding first code corresponding to a first pixel and second code corresponding to a second pixel in a version of a webpage and providing the version of the webpage for loading by a client device. Loading of the version of the webpage by the client device triggers execution of the first code and the second code by the client device. Furthermore, execution of the first code by the client device signals an advertising platform to forgo providing one or more advertisements for a service associated with the server system to the client device. Additionally, execution of the second code by the client device provides a signal to the server system.

    Abstract: Techniques for enhancing group communication on a device are described. A method may include presenting a message in a message portion of a user interface (UI) for a group communication application executing on a first device, where the group communication application communicates messages among multiple devices. The method may further include monitoring an input component for the first device and detecting a first control directive from the input component. The first control directive may select a message displayed in the message portion of the user interface. The method may further include performing a pin operation on the selected message; and presenting the pinned message in a banner portion of the UL Other embodiments are described and claimed.
