Abstract: This relates generally to create and manage a cloud infrastructure using a cloud infrastructure tool. An example method includes, at a server associated with a cloud management platform, receiving a configuration file associated with a cloud infrastructure tool describing a desired state of a cloud infrastructure; creating a cloud template based on the configuration file; determining cloud resources for achieving the desired state of the cloud infrastructure based on the cloud template; for each of the cloud resources: determining a type of the cloud resource; identifying a native resource associated with the cloud management platform based on the type of the resource; mapping an identification of the native resource to the cloud resource; and storing the mapping between the cloud resource and the native resource in a non-native format; and displaying a graphical user interface configured to display a topology for the cloud resources and the cloud infrastructure tool.

Abstract: There is a need for more accurate and more efficient predictive data analysis steps/operations. This need can be addressed by, for example, techniques for efficient predictive data analysis steps/operations. In one example, a method includes mapping a primary event having a primary event code to a related subset of a plurality of candidate secondary events by at least processing one or more lifecycle-related attributes for the primary event code using a lifecycle inference machine learning model to detect an inferred lifecycle for the primary event.

Abstract: An image editing program can include a content-aware selection system. The content-aware selection system can enable a user to select an area of an image using a label or a tag that identifies object in the image, rather than having to make a selection area based on coordinates and/or pixel values. The program can receive a digital image and metadata that describes an object in the image. The program can further receive a label, and can determine from the metadata that the label is associated with the object. The program can then select a bounding box for the object, and identify in the bounding box, pixels that represent the object. The program can then output a selection area that surrounds the pixels.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing tool tutorials based on tutorial information that is dynamically integrated into tool tutorial shells using graphics editing system operations in a graphics editing systems. In operation, an image is received in association with a graphics editing application. Tool parameters (e.g., image-specific tool parameters) are generated based on processing the image. The tool parameters are generated for a graphics editing tool of the graphics editing application. The graphics editing tool (e.g., object removal tool or spot healing tool) can be a premium version of a simplified version of the graphics editing tool in a freemium application service. Based on the tool parameters and the image, a tool tutorial data file is generated by incorporating the tool parameters and the image into a tool tutorial shell. The tool tutorial data file can be selectively rendered in an integrated interface of the graphics editing application.

Abstract: Systems and methods are configured to extract images from provided source data files and to preprocess such images for content-based image analysis. An image analysis system applies one or more machine-learning based models for identifying specific features within analyzed images, and for determining one or more measurements based at least in part on the identified features. Such measurements may be embodied as absolute measurements for determining an absolute distance between features, or relative measurements for determining a relative relationship between features. The determined measurements are input into one or more machine-learning based models for determining a classification for the image.

Abstract: There is a need for more effective and efficient predictive data analysis. This need can be addressed by, for example, solutions for performing/executing cross-geographical predictive data analysis that enhance network transmission efficiency. In one example, a method includes determining forecasted superior domain event data for a hierarchically superior geographic domain at a forecasting period; determining forecasted inferior domain event data for each hierarchically inferior geographic domain associated with the hierarchically superior geographic domain at the forecasting period; determining confirmed inferior domain event data based at least in part on each hierarchically inferior geographic domain; and performing prediction-based actions based at least in part on each confirmed inferior domain event data.

Abstract: Systems and methods are configured for preprocessing of images for further content based analysis thereof. Such images are extracted from a source data file, by standardizing individual pages within a source data file as image data files, and identifying whether the image satisfies applicable size-based criteria, applicable color-based criteria, and applicable content-based criteria, among others, utilizing one or more machine-learning based models. Various systems and methods may identify particular features within the extracted images to facilitate further image-based analysis based on the identified features.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed towards providing contextual tags for an image based on a contextual analysis of associated images captured in the same environment as the image. To determine contextual tags, content tags can be determined for images. The determined content tags can be associated with categories based on a contextual classification of the content tags. These associated content tags can then be designated as contextual tags for a respective category. To associate these contextual tags with the images, the images can be iterated through based on how the images relate to the contextual tags. For instance, when an image is associated with a category, the contextual tags classified into that category can be assigned to that image.

Abstract: Certain embodiments involve adaptive search results for multimedia search queries to provide dynamic previews. For instance, a computing system receives a search query that includes a keyword. The computing system identifies, based on the search query, a video file having keyframes with content tags that match the search query. The computing system determines matching scores for respective keyframes of the identified video file. The computing system generates a dynamic preview from at least two keyframes having the highest matching scores.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to automatic perspective and horizon correction. Generally, a camera captures an image as an image file. Capture-time orientation data from one or more sensors is used to determine the camera's attitude with respect to a defined reference frame. The orientation data and/or attitude can be registered into metadata of the image file and used to generate axis lines representative of the camera's reference frame. A reference line such as a horizon can be automatically identified from detected line segments in the image that align with one of the axis lines within a predetermined angular threshold. The reference line can be used to generate a camera transformation from a starting orientation reflected by the camera attitude to a transformed orientation that aligns the reference line with the reference frame. The transformation can be applied to the image to automatically correct perspective distortion and/or horizon tilt in the image.

Abstract: Techniques for removal of obstructions in a digital image scene are described, in which target and source digital images that exhibit parallax, one to another, are obtained that were captured together by an image capture device at a similar point in time using two different lenses of the image capture device. A foreground obstruction is identified based on displacement in apparent position of objects in the target and source digital images. The foreground obstruction is removed from the target digital image, such as by generating an obstruction mask that represents the location of the foreground obstruction and copying pixels from the source digital image to the target digital image based on the locations identified in the obstruction mask. The target digital image with the obstruction removed is output to a user interface or service provider system, for example.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable storage media are disclosed for generating focused preview images that include the subjects of interest of digital images. For example, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed system utilizes a machine-learning model to generate a saliency map for a digital image to indicate one or more salient objects portrayed within the digital image. Additionally, in one or more embodiments, the system identifies a focus region based on focus information captured by a camera device at the time of capturing the digital image. Furthermore, the system can then utilize the saliency map and the focus region to generate a focused preview image. For instance, in one or more embodiments, the system crops the digital image based on an overlapping portion of the saliency map and the focus region to generate a focused preview image.
