Priority matching for maker orders exhibiting delayed cancelation
An electronic trading venue (ETV) may prioritize maker orders that specify or are associated with cancel delay values by selecting a maker order to be matched with taker orders before competing maker orders, at the same price level for a given instrument, that have smaller or no cancel delay values. Such prioritization may occur even if the competing maker orders were received before the maker order. A cancel delay value indicates an amount of time that must pass after a request to cancel a maker order is received before the ETV actually cancels the maker order. Thus, in exchange for prioritization, maker orders will be subject to a cancelation delay that starts after a cancel request is received and during which a maker order will not be canceled. Takers may benefit from this by being able to match with a maker order before it can be canceled. |

Reducing sample selection bias in a machine learning-based recommender system
The present disclosure relates to improving recommendations for small shops on an ecommerce platform while maintaining accuracy for larger shops. The improvement is achieved by retraining a machine-learning recommendation model to reduce sample selection bias using a meta-learning process.

Each shop-specific model is created by optimizing the baseline model to predict user-item interactions in a first training dataset for the applicable shop. Each of the shop-specific models is then tested using a second training dataset for the shop. A loss is calculated for each shop-specific model based on the model's predicted user-item interactions and the actual user-item interactions in the second training dataset for the shop. A global loss is calculated based on each of the shop-specific losses, and the baseline model is updated to minimize the global loss. The model includes small and large-shop weight parameters that are applied to user-item interaction scores and that are learned during the re-training process. |

Arbitrary directory data properties in SQL-based directory systems
The techniques disclosed herein enhance the efficiency and functionality of directory systems. This is accomplished by augmenting a primary table with an extended table for storing properties of an associated entity (e.g., a user, a company). A table serves to organize directory data and comprises rows and columns. Each row of the primary table stores an entity with each column storing an associated property. In contrast, the primary table is configured with an extended table in which each row of the extended table stores a property for an associated entity while each column stores additional information for the property such as timestamps and metadata. Storing specific properties in the extended table eliminates empty spaces in the primary table thereby reducing the volume of stored data. Moreover, by including additional data for properties, the extended table enables property-specific features such as search, synchronization, extensibility, and lifecycle management. |

Short query prioritization for data processing service
A cluster computing system maintains a first set of queues for short queries and a set second set for longer queries. The first set is allocated a majority of the cluster's processing resources and processes queries on a first in first out basis. The second set is allocated a minority of the cluster's processing resources which are shared among queries in the second set. Accordingly, the system assigns each query to the first set of queues for a fixed amount of resource time. While a query is processing, the system monitors the query's resource time and reassigns the query to the second set of queues if the query has not completed within the allotted amount of resource time. Thus, short queries receive the necessary resources to complete quickly without getting stuck behind longer queries while ensuring that longer queries continue to make progress. |

Continuous data protection
Changes made to a database table are accumulated, in durable storage, and snapshots of partitions of the table are obtained. For successive snapshots of a partition, the system accesses a previous snapshot, applies changes from the accumulated changes, and stores the updated snapshot to a durable data store. The accumulated changes and the successive partition snapshots are made available to restore the database to any point in time across a continuum between successive snapshots. Although each partition of the table may have a backup snapshot that was generated at a time different from when other partition snapshots were generated, changes from respective change logs may be selectively log-applied to distinct partitions of a table to generate an on-demand backup of the entire table at common point-in-time across partitions. Point-in-time restores of a table may rely upon a similar process to coalesce partition snapshots that are not aligned in time. |

Expanding discovery during backup generation to generate snapshot backups
Techniques described herein relate to a method for performing generating backups of host snapshots. The method may include identifying, by a data protection agent of a host, an asset discovery event associated with the host; in response to identifying the asset discovery event: obtaining file system metadata associated with the host from a file system metadata repository on a storage of the host; identifying existing snapshots on the host using the file system metadata; obtaining snapshot metadata associated with the snapshots using the file system metadata; providing the file system metadata to a data protection manager to generate assets; and providing the snapshot metadata to the data protection manager to generate pseudo-assets. |

Tiered memory management system
A tiered memory system includes a tiered memory management system that is coupled to a first memory subsystem associated with a first memory subsystem tier, and a second memory subsystem associated with a second memory subsystem tier that is different than the first memory subsystem tier. The tiered memory management system monitors a health of the first memory subsystem associated with the first memory subsystem tier and the second memory subsystem associated with the second memory subsystem tier. When the tiered memory management system identifies a health issue with the first memory subsystem associated with the first memory subsystem tier, it moves data stored in the first memory subsystem associated with the first memory subsystem tier to the second memory subsystem associated with the second memory subsystem tier. |

Deterministic hardware indictment in response to fatal PCIe ntb error
A deterministic hardware indictment process is used to indict one Compute Node (CN) of a pair of CNs in response to occurrence of a fatal error on a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) Non-Transparent Bridge (NTB) interconnecting the two CN. Status information is exchanged between the CNs on a communication medium that is separate from the NTB. The indictment process is run locally on each CN based on whatever information is available to the CN. When the CN does not receive status information from the other CN, the CN runs a self-indictment check. When status information is received, and only one CN reports an error, the indictment process indicts the compute node that reported the error. If both CNs report errors, an error severity comparison process is used to select a CN to be indicted. If the reported errors are equally severe, a default CN is indicted. |
