Abstract: A system may include an interface, memory, and a processor configured to execute instructions stored in the memory. The interface may be configured to receive a signal that may include one or more user-selected frames of video content. The processor may execute the instructions to identify a market-relevant video object in the one or more frames. The processor may also facilitate storing in the memory, market-relevant information associated with the market-relevant video object. The processor may also execute the instructions to compare the stored market-relevant information to stored advertisement information and determine ad request criteria and/or advertisement for distribution to a user based on the comparison.

Abstract: Methods and system include obtaining attributes of athletic players from one or more sources. The attributes define statistics of the athletic players. Minimum requirements are determined for teams organized in a group. A listing is generated for each team in the group. The listing includes a plurality of entries wherein each entry is configured to present attributes of an athletic player or a team that is part of the group. Select ones of the plurality of entries in the listing are static and select ones of the entries are dynamic. The entries that are static are used to provide minimum requirements defined for each team in the group and the entries that are dynamic are used to provide attributes of the teams or the athletic players. The dynamic entries are adjusted during a drafting process to provide current status of the teams and the athletic players.

Abstract: Method, system, and programs for dynamic control of a processing system having a plurality of tiers. Queue lengths of a plurality of nodes in one of the plurality of tiers are received. A control objective is received from a higher tier. One or more requests from the higher tier are processed by the plurality of nodes in the tier. A control model of the tier is computed based on the received queue lengths. One or more parameters of the control model are adjusted based on the received control objective. At least one control action is determined based on the control model and the control objective.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for improving the speed and accuracy of analytics on big data using theta sketches, by converting fixed-size sketches to theta sketches, and by performing set operations on sketches. In a technique for performing a set operation, two sketches are analyzed to identify the maximum value of each sketch. The maximum values of the two sketches are compared. Based the comparison, one or more values are removed from the sketch whose maximum value is greater. After the removal, a set operation (e.g., union, intersection, or difference) is performed based on the modified sketch and the unmodified sketch. A result of the set operation is a third sketch, which may be used to estimate a cardinality of the larger data sets that are represented by the two input sketches.
