Detecting content items in violation of an online system policy using templates based on semantic vectors representing content items

A content review system for an online system automatically determines if received content items to be displayed to users violate any policies of the online system. The content review system generates a semantic vector representing the semantic features of a content item, for example, using a neural network.

The content review system may also maintain templates corresponding to portions of semantic vectors shared by multiple content items. An analysis of historical content items that conform to the template is performed to determine a probability that received content items that conform to the template violate a policy.

Multi-bank scheduling to improve performance on tree access in a dram based RAM subsystem

A method and system of memory management incorporates multiple banks of memory devices organized into independent channels wherein each bank of memory devices contains duplicate data. A tree memory controller controls data read and write accesses to each of the banks in each of the channels. A bank queue for each bank in each channel keeps track of bank availability. When read or write requests are received at the tree memory controller, the controller checks the availability of each bank in a channel, identifies a first available bank, and executes the read request from the first available bank. In response to a write request, the controller blocks all read requests once it has confirmed that data to be written is complete for the selected memory word length. As soon as each bank queue for read requests is empty, the controller initiates burst mode transfer of the completed data word to all banks concurrently.

Methods and apparatuses for cultivating phototropic microorganisms

Method and apparatus for biomass cultivation (preferably using algae) incorporating photo bio-reactor (PBR) technology coupled with a heat sink to increase energy efficiency. An external PBR array is coupled to an indoor storage tank system with a volume equal to or greater than the volume of the PBR array. A controller can be used to optimize the growth of biomass by optimizing three key growth parameters: exposure to sunlight, temperature and nutrients. The indoor tank system serves as a reservoir where algae can be protected from harsh ambient conditions, minimizing the cost of energy for heating and cooling that would normally be incurred to accommodate ambient temperature swings caused by weather if the biomass is always stored in an outdoor PBR array. During cold winter nights, the biomass can be brought indoors to conserve thermal energy. High energy efficiency can be achieved when the heat sink consists of a second holding tank and a second tubing array, and the swings in the ambient temperature are exploited to add or reject energy from the biomass cultivation.
