A social networking system builds a quality controlled and desired population-representative pool of human raters to provide ratings on content items to improve a feed ranking model used for providing its users with more relevant content. The system identifies a pool of candidate human raters for providing ratings on a feed of content items. For each candidate human rater of the pool of candidate human raters, the system presents a feed of content items based on a feed ranking model, obtains ratings on the feed of content items, and determines a score representing the consistency of the obtained ratings, the representativeness of the pool of human raters, or the relevance of the content provided by the ranking model. The system uses the computed scores to modify the ranking model used to present content to its users for improving the relevance of the presented content.

Mobile battery powered workstation carts for order fulfillment are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a battery powered workstation cart may comprise a wheeled cart having a frame, a rechargeable lithium battery, a computer, a barcode reader/scanner, a RFID reader/scanner, a printer, an artificial intelligence hub, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and/or GPS. The frame may also comprise two side bracket arms and/or shelves, which may be modular to receive various different sized baskets, bins, or totes therein to expedite retail order fulfillment.

Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are described herein that are configured to express a time in an output text. In some example embodiments, a method is provided that comprises identifying a time period to be described linguistically in an output text. The method of this embodiment may also include identifying a communicative context for the output text. The method of this embodiment may also include determining one or more temporal reference frames that are applicable to the time period and a domain defined by the communicative context. The method of this embodiment may also include generating a phrase specification that linguistically describes the time period based on the descriptor that is defined by a temporal reference frame of the one or more temporal reference frames. In some examples, the descriptor specifies a time window that is inclusive of at least a portion of the time period to be described linguistically.

A method for managing customers for a store includes generating first account identification information from stored account information of a customer. The method also includes transmitting a list of candidate payees within a predefined distance of a current geolocation of a personal communication device of the customer and identifying the store as a party to a transaction with the customer based on feedback. The method still further includes receiving, from the store, a transaction message indicating the customer is a counterparty to the transaction, the transaction message comprising second account identification information received at the communication device of the store from the customer. The method also includes determining the first account identification information matches the second account identification information. The method further includes approving the transaction between the customer and the store in response to determining the first account identification information matches the second account identification information and identifying the store as the party to the transaction.

A back-end application computer server may access a potential metadata entries data store containing a set of potential metadata entries, each entry including at least a data element name and a data element definition. A metadata collection system may be executed to automatically populate a metadata template based on the set of potential metadata entries. The system may update entries in the metadata template using a translation tool and validate the updated entries in the metadata template to ensure that required data elements are present. The system may also certify the validated entries load the set of certified metadata entries, including the certified data element names and certified data element definitions, into an enterprise metadata repository data store. Electronic messages may be exchanged to support at least one interactive user interface display associated with certification of the metadata template.

A method for generating a report is provided. The method may include acquiring a key word related to an industry field, and acquiring one or more condition values related to the report to be generated. The method may also include determining a report template having one or more data query sections and one or more conclusion sections based on the industry field and the one or more condition values, and acquiring report data based on the one or more data query sections of the report template. The method may further include determining one or more conclusions based on the report data, and generating the report based the data acquired based on the report data, the one or more conclusions, and the template.

A device may receive historical risk data identifying historical risks associated with entities, and historical compliance data identifying historical compliance actions performed by the entities. The device may train a machine learning model with the historical risk data and the historical compliance data to generate a structured semantic model, and may receive entity risk data identifying new and existing risks associated with an entity. The device may receive entity compliance data identifying new and existing compliance actions performed by the entity, and may process the entity risk data and the entity compliance data, with the structured semantic model, to determine risk and compliance insights for the entity. The risk and compliance insights may include insights associated with a key performance indicator, a compliance issue, a regulatory issue, an operational risk, a compliance risk, or a qualification of controls. The device may perform actions based on the risk and compliance insights.

The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for determining an estimated time of arrival (ETA). The methods may include obtaining feature data related to an on-demand service order; obtain a parallel computing framework; determining a global ETA model based on the feature data and the parallel computing framework; and determining an ETA for a target route based on the global ETA model.
