Abstract: A native user interface (UI) application of a mobile device includes a library of different components such as text, forms, tables, lists, maps, views and buttons. The components can also have associated actions in some cases. When a view of the UI is launched, the mobile device contacts a server or other data source to obtain metadata associated with the view. The metadata can be tailored to a user or organization of the mobile device. The metadata selects specific components and defines a layout for the components. The mobile device uses the metadata to retrieve the components and render them in the view. The views can be changed by changing the metadata without changing the native application.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein propose a densely connected Transformer architecture in which each Transformer layer takes advantages of all previous layers. Specifically, the input for each Transformer layer comes from the outputs of all its preceding layers; and the output information of each layer will be incorporated in all its subsequent layers. In this way, a L-layer Transformer network will have L(L+1)/2 connections. In this way, the dense connection allows the linguistic information learned by the lower layer to be directly propagated to all upper layers and encourages feature reuse throughout the network. Each layer is thus directly optimized from the loss function in the fashion of implicit deep supervision.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide methods and systems for effectively and efficiently summarizing long documents. A transformer is provided with bottom-up and top-down inference combined to effectively capture long-range dependency. In the bottom-up inference, each token only attends to nearby tokens within a window of a specified size. In the top-down inference, full self-attention is given using units with coarser granularity. The bottom-up-inferred token representations are then updated with the top-down representations, which is achieved with cross-attention between the top and token levels. Multiple levels of top-down representations with increasingly coarser granularity can be used if documents are extremely long.

Abstract: Privilege escalation in a cloud platform comprises provisioning to a client access privileges to the database entities that are covered by a license. A base escalation matrix is provisioned to the client with additional access privileges not covered by the license. An API request is received and the requested CRUD operation is attempted on a first database entity. Responsive to the requested CRUD operation initially failing because the client does not have required access privileges activation of an exception signaling failure of the requested CRUD operation is detected and used as a trigger to fetch the base escalation matrix. The access privileges of the client are escalated by applying the additional access privileges from the base escalation matrix to a user context of the current API query request, and repeating the requested CRUD operation. The escalated access privileges are then removed.
