Abstract: Disclosed herein are example embodiments of an improved narrative generation system where an analysis service that executes data analysis logic that supports story generation is segregated from an authoring service that executes authoring logic for story generation through an interface. Accordingly, when the authoring service needs analysis from the analysis service, it can invoke the analysis service through the interface. By exposing the analysis service to the authoring service through the shared interface, the details of the logic underlying the analysis service are shielded from the authoring service (and vice versa where the details of the authoring service are shielded from the analysis service). Through parameterization of operating variables, the analysis service can thus be designed as a generalized data analysis service that can operate in a number of different content verticals with respect to a variety of different story types.

Abstract: A processor may generate an enforcement point. The enforcement point may include one or more adversarial detection models. The processor may receive user input data. The processor may analyze, at the enforcement point, the user input data. The processor may determine, from the analyzing, whether there is an adversarial attack in the user input data. The processor may generate an alert based on the determining.

Abstract: Described are systems and methods for generating recommendation campaigns that optimize for both a desired short-term user behavior and a desired long-term user behavior. In comparison to existing techniques that focus on targeting advertisements or recommendations to specific individuals with a single goal of receiving an interaction with the advertisement from that individual (i.e., a desired short-term behavior), the disclosed implementations consider the long-term user behavior, such as increased visits to a website during a long-term rage, and generate a recommendation campaign that also optimizes for that desired long-term user behavior.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating user notifications to a set of users of a social networking service is presented. For each user of a set of users of the social networking service, one or more machine learning models selects an optimal notification channel, an optimal notification template, and optimal personalization content for configurable elements of a selected notification template. Each of these determinations/selections is made according to and based on a likelihood of increased user engagement with the social networking service. Upon determining the notification channel, notification template, and personalizations to the template, the notification is generated and sent to the corresponding user.

Abstract: A best available video stream is determined for each of multiple conference participants within a conference room including multiple cameras based on scores determined for video streams obtained from the cameras. The scores are determined based on representations of the conference participants within the video streams, for example, based on percentages of conference participant faces visible within the video streams, directions of conference participant faces relative to the cameras, directions of eye gaze of the conference participants relative to the cameras, and/or degrees to which conference participant faces are obscured within the video streams. The best available video streams are output for rendering within separate user interface tiles of conferencing software.

Abstract: A system and method for voice control of a media playback device is disclosed. The method includes receiving an instruction of a voice command, converting the voice command to text, transmitting the text command to the playback device, and having the playback device execute the command. An instruction may include a command to play a set of audio tracks, and the media playback device plays the set of audio tracks upon receiving the instruction.
