Abstract: In one example, a system comprises at least one processor configured to determine an indication of an audio portion of video content, determine, based at least in part on the indication, one or more candidate audio tracks, determine, based at least in part on the one or more candidate audio tracks, one or more search terms, and provide a search query that includes the search terms. The at least one processor may be further configured to, in response to the search query, receive a response that indicates a number of search results, wherein each one of the search results is associated with content that includes the one or more search terms, select, based at least in part on the response, a particular audio track of the one or more candidate audio tracks, and send a message that associates the video content with at least the particular audio track.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a computing system, which identifies, for graph clustering, first and second sets of vertices in a graph. A respective vertex in the first set of vertices is an exemplar. A respective vertex in the second set of vertices is not an exemplar and not associated with a vertex identifier. The system assigns a vertex identifier of a first vertex in the first set to a second vertex in the second set based on type and strength of relationship between the vertices. The vertices represent elements in a data set. The vertex identifiers of the first and second vertices do not change before convergence. The system allocates the first vertex and the second vertex to a first vertex cluster associated with the vertex identifier, and detects convergence based on modularity associated with vertex clusters representing information of interest in the data set.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to determine differences between a source table and a target table in a database environment, as being persistent or transient. A first set of differences between the source table and the target table is determined at a first point in time. A second set of differences between the source table and the target table is determined at a second point in time subsequent to the first point in time. At least one of a set of persistent differences and a set of transient differences is determined. The set of persistent differences includes a set intersection of the first and second sets of differences, the set intersection being filtered based on matching non-key values of the differences. The set of transient differences includes a relative complement of the second set of differences in the first set of differences.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for inserting a key into a radix tree. In an example method, inserting a key into the radix tree includes comparing a first key including a first sequence of elements with a second key including a second sequence of elements. The method includes identifying a common prefix in the first and second keys and identifying a remainder sequence in the second key. The remainder sequence is a suffix after the common prefix in the second sequence of elements. The method also includes splitting the remainder sequence into a plurality of chunks. Each chunk includes a sequence of elements in the remainder sequence. The method further includes for each chunk, locating a parent container from which to insert a child container into the radix tree, creating a new container including the respective chunk, and inserting the new container as a child container of the parent container.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating the use of use processed data from a storage system to perform one or more tasks are disclosed. For example, the method can include identifying data, stored within a storage system, and needed to perform a task. Such data can be stored in a processed form, as a result of such data having been previously processed by the storage system. A determination is made to determine whether the identified data is stored in a processed form. If so, a subsequent determination is made to determine whether the data in the processed form is usable to perform the task. If the data in the processed form is usable to perform the task, a request is generated to request the data in the processed form. The processed data can then be used to perform the task.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide techniques for generating song playlists for use in an immersive virtual environment. Generally, playlists may be generated based on stored music preference data. The music preference data may be generated by storing user interactions with specific songs. The user interactions may be associated with characteristics of the user's situational context within the virtual world. The music preference data may be indexed by song name, and/or by musical properties. Subsequently, the music preference data may be used to generate a playlist adapted to the user's current situation within the virtual world.

Abstract: A node of a storage service is selected as a coordinator of a distributed transaction involving multiple page-level modifications. The coordinator identifies other nodes as members of a node chain collectively storing physical data pages at which proposed modifications are to be performed, including a decider node responsible for a decision to commit the transaction. The coordinator generates a transaction preparation message comprising a representation of an order of respective commit decisions associated with the proposed modifications, and transmits the message to a selected node of the chain for a sequential propagation along the chain. Each chain node performs a local commit analysis for its changes and stores a record of its intent to commit. If a decision to commit is reached at the decider, the proposed modifications are completed.

Abstract: The present disclosure introduces a method and an apparatus of shrinking virtual hard disk image file. The present techniques search a garbage data block in a file and revise a record of the garbage data block in a block allocation table (BAT). The file includes one or more data blocks and a BAT that records information of each data block. The garbage data block is a data block that does not store effective data. The present techniques move an effective data block subsequent to the garbage data block, revise a record of the effective data block in the BAT after the moving, and shrink a size of the file after the movement.

Abstract: Data unavailability and data loss events in a large distributed database system are predicted by proactively and substantially continuously collecting information about appliance states and operations in the database system, forming feature vectors of prescribed key information features, and classifying said feature vectors as indicative of possible DU/DL events based upon their similarity and closeness to stored historical feature vectors known to be relevant to DU/DL events.

Abstract: An object identification system comprises at least one database of reference images. Each reference image comprises an identifiable reference object and is associated in the database with a corresponding text description of the reference object. The system also comprises image query resolution data structures, each containing a collection of records having an image descriptor of one of the reference images, and searchable using a corresponding search algorithm. Upon receiving a query comprising an input image including a query object, the system generates a query image descriptor of the input image corresponding with one or more search algorithms, and searches the corresponding image query resolution data structure to identify a closest match record. A best available match record is identified from the closest match records identified in the image query resolution data structures, and a text description of the query object is retrieved corresponding with the associated reference image.

Abstract: According to an example, data analysis control may include receiving a predetermined number of search results for a query, and organizing the predetermined number of search results by checksum values of content of the search results in an ascending or a descending order. A generally final or a generally initial checksum value may be respectively used from the ascending or the descending order of the organized search results to determine a total content number representing an approximate total content of a search related to the query, where the total content number is greater than the predetermined number of search results. Further, the determined total content number may be used to determine a number of sub-tasks needed to complete a full search of the approximate total content.
