A method including receiving a first and second data structures storing first and second data stored a first format and a second format. The first and second data are associated with a key. The first and second data and formats are dissimilar, but are related according to the key. A data conversion controller is applied to the first and second data structures to generate a third data structure that stores, in a third data format and associated with the key, both the first data and second data. A vector generation controller is applied to the third data structure to generate a vector including features representing the first and second data. A subset of features is determined from the features according to a type of the subject. A trained supervised machine learning model with the subset of features is applied to the vector to generate a prediction, which is presented.

Merging of dissimilar data structures having dissimilar data for generation of machine learning input

The present disclosure includes computer implemented techniques for providing a survey to a user. In one embodiment, a software application receives an audio stream including utterances spoken by the user interacting with a voice-user interface of the application. The application then determines a set of paralinguistic features from the audio stream and estimates at least a first attribute of the user based on the set of paralinguistic features. The application selects survey content based on a value of the first attribute and transmits a survey including the selected survey content to the user.

Adjusting product surveys based on paralinguistic information

A method may include selecting a cohort of entities for migration from a source storage repository to a target storage repository, obtaining a mapping between a source storage schema of the source storage repository to a target storage schema of the target storage repository, and migrating data for the entities in the cohort. Migrating the data of an entity may include copying, without locking the data in the source storage repository and in the target storage repository, the data from the source storage repository to the target storage repository, verifying, while the data is locked, that the data in the source storage repository is the same as the data in the target storage repository, changing, while the data in the source storage repository and the target storage repository is locked, an entity pointer for the entity to the target storage repository based on the verifying, and unlocking the data.

Data migration framework

Embodiments disclosed herein select a content message to present to a user on a page of an application based on paralinguistic features of audio input received from the user for the application. The audio input is received via a microphone associated with a computing device. A feature extractor extracts paralinguistic features from the audio input. A predictive model determines a label indicating a measure of receptiveness to product placement (e.g., a predicted marketing outcome) based on the paralinguistic features. A content-selection component selects a content message to present to the user based on the label and based on a profile of the user.

Adjusting content presentation based on paralinguistic information

A medical system for minimally-invasive measurement of blood flow in an artery (AT). An interventional device (IVD) with an optical fiber (FB) comprising a plurality of temperature-sensitive optical sensor segments, e.g. Fiber Bragg Gratings, spatially distributed along its longitudinal extension is configured for insertion into an artery (AT). A temperature changer (TC) is arranged in the WD to introduce a local change in temperature (&#x394;T) of a bolus of blood in the artery, to allow thermal tracking over time with the optical fiber (FB). A measurement unit (MU) with a laser light source (LS) delivers light to the optical fiber (FB) and receives light reflected from the optical fiber (FB) and generates a corresponding time varying output signal. A first algorithm (A1) translates this time varying output signal into a set of temperatures corresponding to temperatures at respective positions along the optical fiber (FB). A second algorithm (A2) calculates a measure of blood flow (BF) at respective positions along the optical fiber (FB) in accordance with a temporal behavior of said set of temperatures. Such system can be used to quickly scan an artery for diagnosing stenotic regions without the need for pullbacks or injection of toxic liquids. A good spatial resolution of the blood flow measurement can be obtained in real-time.
