Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for test cycle optimization using contextual association mapping. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining an artifact that includes a collection of reference items, where each reference item includes a sequence of words, generating candidate tags from each of the reference items based on the sequences of words in the reference items, selecting a subset of the candidate tags as context tags based on an amount that the candidate tags appear in the reference items, obtaining a sample item that includes a sequence of words, identifying a subset of the context tags in the sequence of words in the sample item, and classifying a subset of the reference items as contextually similar to the sample item based the context tags that were identified.

Abstract: Automatic consistency is implemented for forwarding writes in a database system. A read-only node may support both read and write requests to a database. The read only node may forward write requests to a read-write node. The read-only node may determine whether to include the forwarded requests in a version of the database for a read request automatically according to a consistency specified for a read request.

Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses/systems, and media for implementing an SSH connector are disclosed. A processor deploys a first API to get an active directory groups with a first user list data from a repository. The processor deploys a second API that calls an active directory to get a second user list data that lists users who are in given active directory groups that are authenticated and authorized. The processor also compares the first user list data to the second user list data; deploys a third API that returns active directory groups with users who are listed in the first user list data in the repository but not in the second user list data in the active directory groups; and deploys a fourth API that calls the repository to remove the users from groups in the repository who are not in the second user list data in the active directory groups.

Abstract: A recommendation system includes a recommendation model for generating a recommendation score for a user with respect to an item. The model is configured to receive a set of dense features, describing numerical information, and a set of sparse features, representing a subset of items from a relatively large group of items. To represent the subset of items in the sparse features, each item (or a symbol thereof) is processed by an encoder to represent each item with a plurality of positions in a sparse binary representation of the subset of items. The sparse binary representation is then processed by a model that determines a vector representation of the sparse category features used in the prediction in conjunction with the dense features.

Abstract: A hybrid query engine using different query engines may be implemented to provide access to a database. A database query to a database may be received at a hybrid query engine. A plan to perform the database query may be generated that when performed by the hybrid query engine causes one query engine to perform an assigned portion of the plan by accessing data that describes the database. Another portion of the plan assigned to another query engine may be performed by the hybrid query engine to cause the other query engine to perform the other portion of the plan by accessing the same data that describes the database.

Abstract: Provided is a method for identifying suspicious traffic. The method may commence with compiling statistical data for a plurality of hosts. The method may further include generating data lists for with the plurality of hosts based on the statistical data. The method may continue with receiving a data packet from a host of the plurality of hosts. The data packet may be associated with a plurality of parameters. The method may further include analyzing one or more of the plurality of parameters associated with the data packet using the data lists. The method may continue with determining, based on the analysis, that the one or more of the plurality of parameters are outside a predetermined tolerance zone. Based on the determination that the one or more of the plurality of parameters are outside the predetermined tolerance zone, a mitigation action associated with the host may be selectively initiated.

Abstract: A first computing device broadcasts a first audio token comprising the first user computing device identifier over two or more audio frequency channels at specified intervals and listens for audio inputs via the two or more audio frequency channels at the specified intervals. The first computing device receives a second audio token generated by a second computing device and communicates the received second audio token to the one or more computing devices. The second computing device receives the first audio token generated by the first computing device and communicates the received first audio token to the one or more computing devices. The one or more computing devices receive the first and second audio tokens and pair the first computing device and the second computing device and facilitate a transfer of data between the first computing device and the second computing device.

Abstract: Transactional scans of portions of a database may be performed. When a query is received that causes a scan of a database, different portions of the database may be scanned within separate transactions. Operations applicable to perform the scan the records of the different portions of the database may be invoked once within the transactions instead of invoking the operations individually for each of the records in the different portions. Results of the query based on the scanned portions may then be provided in response to the query.

Abstract: A system and method for communicating between applications using a routing process. A set of one or more signal-routes are defined on a network device, including a first signal-route. Each signal-route is associated with a state of an application to be executed on the network device, wherein the first signal-route is associated with a first application state of the application. The network device detects, within the application executing within an application layer of the network device, a change in the first application state and notifies other applications of the change in the first application state. Notifying includes modifying the first signal-route, wherein modifying includes adding the first signal-route to or removing the first signal-route from a Routing Information Base (RIB) and advertising the change in the RIB.

Abstract: Techniques are described for dynamically adapting virtualized network functions (VNFs) to different target environments. A controller stores device profiles that include configuration data and workflows for resolving configuration parameters for instantiating and deploying a VNF package to form a network service. To support the resolution of VNF configuration parameters, a VNF descriptor for the VNF is extended to include a device family parameter that indicates a shared architecture and configuration parameters. The controller, when instantiating the VNF, may identify a device profile usable for resolving the configuration parameters for the VNF and obtain configuration data from the device profile for creating and configuring a VNF instance for the VNF descriptor. Extending the VNF descriptor to specify a device family allows the VNF to be flexibly adapted for different target environments and may avoid the use of numerous pre-defined VNF descriptors.
