    摘要: Despite many practical limitations imposed by mobile device platforms and application execution environments, vocal musical performances may be captured and continuously pitch-corrected for mixing and rendering with backing tracks in ways that create compelling user experiences. Based on the techniques described herein, even mere amateurs are encouraged to share with friends and family or to collaborate and contribute vocal performances as part of virtual “glee clubs.” In some implementations, these interactions are facilitated through social network- and/or eMail-mediated sharing of performances and invitations to join in a group performance. Using uploaded vocals captured at clients such as a mobile device, a content server (or service) can mediate such virtual glee clubs by manipulating and mixing the uploaded vocal performances of multiple contributing vocalists.

    摘要: The present application generally relates to electronic trading systems, and more specifically to systems and methods for electronic trade order routing. Specifically, electronic trade orders may be divided into a first set and a second set. The first set of trade orders are executed with ad hoc execution styles. For the second set, execution style recommendations are generated in a form of a lookup table for the second set of trade orders according to a testing routing strategy. The second set of trade orders are executed with recommended execution styles. A difference between performance metrics among the first set of trade orders and the second set of trade orders is computed. A decision on whether to adopt the recommended execution style is generated based at least in part on the computed difference.
