Abstract: In various embodiments, a function build application compiles source code to generate an executable version of a function that has a first function signature. The function build application then replaces a first data type of a first parameter included in the first function signature with a second data type to generate a second function signature for a client stub function. Subsequently, the function build application generates a remote procedure call (RPC) client that includes the client stub function. Notably, the RPC client causes the function to execute when the client stub function is invoked. Advantageously, unlike conventional techniques that require manual generation of strongly typed functions, the function build application automatically customizes the RPC client for the function.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a serverless function agent determines that a client stub function has been invoked with a first set of arguments in a first execution environment. The serverless function agent then performs one or more operations on a media item that is associated with a first argument included in the first set of arguments to generate a second argument included in a second set of arguments. Notably, the first argument has a first data type and the second argument has a second data type. Subsequently, the serverless function agent invokes a function with the second set of arguments in a second execution environment. Advantageously, because the serverless function agent automatically performs operations on the media item, the overall amount of technical know-how and manual effort required to enable the function to successfully execute on a wide range of media items can be reduced.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for determining a score for a degree of activation of a biological network. An embodiment constructs a tree graph comprising a root node and a set of child nodes. The root node represents a biological network having a reference node and causal connections among a set of nodes that represent biological entities, biological processes, or other biological networks. Each child node represents a particular node in the biological network and is connected to the root node by a signed, directed edge pointing from the root node to that child node. Each child node also has an associated weight based on one or more paths connecting the child node to the reference node in the biological network. The embodiment further scores the tree graph based on scores assigned to the child nodes and the signs of the singed, directed edges.

Abstract: Scores for particular network models (those having a source node connected to a set of measurable downstream nodes via causal edges) are computed across multiple networks by accounting for an overlap between these models in a manner that reduces cross-network redundancy and increases the specificity of the network models for the network in which they are found. According to another aspect, a meta-network model is created for networks by accounting for the occurrence of network models that are found in multiple networks in a manner that reduces the redundancy across networks and that increases the specificity of the network model score. Preferably, this process provides additional weighting factors for each node in the network model.
