  • Patent number: 11019308
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for anticipating a video switch to accommodate a new speaker in a video conference comprising a real time video stream captured by a camera local to a first videoconference endpoint is analyzed according to at least one speaker anticipation model. The speaker anticipation model predicts that a new speaker is about to speak. Video of the anticipated new speaker is sent to the conferencing server in response to a request for the video on the anticipated new speaker from the conferencing server. Video of the anticipated new speaker is distributed to at least a second videoconference endpoint.

  • Patent number: 11005965
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in a network monitors a plurality of traffic flows in the network. The device extracts a plurality of features from the monitored plurality of traffic flows. The device generates a context model by using deep learning and reinforcement learning on the plurality of features extracted from the monitored traffic flows. The device applies the context model to a particular traffic flow associated with a client, to determine a context for the particular traffic flow. The device personalizes data sent to the client from a remote source based on the determined context.

  • Patent number: 10762902
    Abstract: A system to dynamically update presentations based on context classification of voice inputs, comprising: a storage device and a processor communicatively coupled to the storage device, wherein the processor executes application code instructions that are stored in the storage device to cause the system to: display a first graphical user interface associated with a first context via a user interface, obtain a first voice input, determine one or more first terms from the first voice input, determine that the first voice input is related to a first context based on the one or more first terms, and in response to determining that the first voice input is related to the first context: modify the first graphical user interface associated with the first context and display the modified first graphical user interface associated with the first context via the user interface.

  • Patent number: 10742678
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a security device maintains a plurality of security enclaves for a computer network, each associated with a given level of security policies. After detecting a given device joining the computer network, the security device places the given device in a strictest security enclave of the plurality of security enclaves in response to joining the computer network. The security device then subjects the given device to joint adversarial training, where a control agent representing behavior of the given device is trained against an inciting agent, and where the inciting agent attempts to force the control agent to misbehave by applying destabilizing policies. Accordingly, the security device may determine control agent behavior during the joint adversarial training, and promotes the given device to a less strict security enclave of the plurality of enclaves in response to the control agent being robust against the attempts by the inciting agent.
