Generally discussed herein are devices, systems, and methods for improving cloud resource security. A method can include obtaining a cloud resource management log that details actions performed by users of cloud resources in a cloud portal, the actions including entries comprising at least two of a user identification (ID) of a user of the users, an operation of operations performed on the cloud resource, a uniform resource identifier (URI) of a cloud resource of the cloud resources that is a target of the operation, or a time the operation was performed. The method can include determining a respective score for each action in the cloud resource management log, comparing the respective score to a specified criterion, and providing an indication of anomalous action in response to determining the respective score satisfies the specified criterion.

A network system can communicate with user and provider devices to facilitate the provision of a network-based service. The network system can identify optimal service providers to provide services requested by users. The network can utilize context data in matching service providers with users. In particular, the network system can determine, based on context data associated with a user, whether to perform pre-request matching for that user. A service provider who is pre-request matched with the user can be directed by the network system to relocate via a pre-request relocation direction. When the user submits the service request after the pre-request match, the network system can either automatically transmit an invitation to the pre-request matched service provider or can perform post-request matching to identify an optimal service provider for the user.

Systems and methods are provided for a personalized entity repository. For example, a computing device comprises a personalized entity repository having fixed sets of entities from an entity repository stored at a server, a processor, and memory storing instructions that cause the computing device to identify fixed sets of entities that are relevant to a user based on context associated with the computing device, rank the fixed sets by relevancy, and update the personalized entity repository using selected sets determined based on the rank and on set usage parameters applicable to the user. In another example, a method includes generating fixed sets of entities from an entity repository, including location-based sets and topic-based sets, and providing a subset of the fixed sets to a client, the client requesting the subset based on the client's location and on items identified in content generated for display on the client.

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for analyzing content audience by generating respective encoded links for content publishers, determining, for each content publisher, statistics related to user interactions with encoded links, and providing user-specific or aggregate information based on the statistics. The server of a content audience analysis system receives multiple interactions with encoded links generated by the content audience analysis system and linked to resources of a first content publisher. The server may identify from the multiple interactions, multiple cookies assigned to unique client devices. The server may identify second content publishers having resources that were accessed by the client devices corresponding to the multiple cookies via encoded links generated by the server. The server may provide to the first content publisher, data corresponding to the second content publishers having resources accessed by client devices that also accessed the resources of the first content publisher.

Methods and systems for resource allocation using data from a variety of systems are described herein. A plurality of periods of time for using one or more resources may be identified based on a user request. Data indicative of locations of one or more users over one or more time periods may be received. Such data may be from an application other than a calendar application. Anticipated locations of the one or more users may be determined based on the data received. A resource of the one or more resources may be selected based on a distance between the resource and the anticipated locations of the one or more users. Based on detecting a change to the data, a new resource may be selected.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for reducing redirects. In one aspect, a method includes receiving request data indicating that a user device has requested a content item. The request data specifies other data processing apparatus to which user interactions with the content item are to be reported. The content item includes a reference to a resource that is requested in response to user interaction with the content item. Response data is provided. The response data includes data that cause presentation of the content item. Interaction data is received specifying user interaction with the content item occurred. Redirect data is provided that cause the user device to be redirected to the resource. Reporting data is provided to the other data processing apparatus, specifying user interaction with the content item occurred. The reporting data is provided asynchronously relative to the redirect data.

A method for launching interactive content including associating one or more templates with a corresponding one or more activities of an interactive content title and transmitting the one or more templates to a platform server. The method includes selecting and displaying a set of templates generated from the one or more templates received on a user device. The method includes launching the activity in the interactive title based on a template selected by a user.

Systems, methods, and apparatus to identify media devices are disclosed. An example network communications monitor includes network interface circuitry, computer readable instructions, and processor circuitry. The processor circuitry is to execute the computer readable instructions to detect, via the network interface circuitry, multiple network communications transmitted on a home network within the household, access panelist data that associates a panelist of the household with a panelist device of the panelist, determine, based on the panelist data, that one or more of the multiple network communications are associated with the panelist device, and cause storage of data identifying the one or more network communications in association with the panelist.

A method for determining a communication load for a user including: monitoring at least one communication channel for one or more user activities; detecting at least one user activity related to one or more of a plurality of parameters, the plurality of parameters including a number of current communication sessions involving the user and an engagement level of the user in a meeting, in which the engagement level is a non-binary value and in which each of the parameters is associated with a weight; calculating, for a subset of the plurality of parameters, the communication load for the user based on the weight associated with each of the parameters within the subset; and automatically updating, based on the communication load, a display of a status indicator for the user by altering an appearance of the status indicator. Also disclosed is a corresponding system for determining a communication load.

Proposed is a digital multi-channel platform based on a multi-channel, high-layer data-transfer structure accessible by means of web-client applications running on front-end network-enabled devices providing discrete high-layer data-flow and capturing of structured and unstructured data content transferred from the front-end network-enabled devices over a data transmission network to a digital multi-channel back-end system.
