Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods and systems for high resolution and scalable crop yield forecasting by first developing a first crop yield forecasting model to generate coarse resolution yield maps and further dynamically selecting a set of pixels from the coarse resolution yield maps. The coarse resolution yield maps, satellite, weather and soil related data are fed as input to a second crop yield forecasting to generate high resolution crop yield forecasting maps. Further, domain knowledge about crop growth stages, economically important crop growth stages and weather based triggers are identified to quantify extent of change in crop yield. This helps in crop yield forecasting during real time adverse weather conditions. Finally, an adjusted crop yield model is obtained after adjusting losses incurred due to the real time adverse weather conditions to obtain accurate high resolution crop yield forecasting maps. The method of present disclosure is inexpensive, light-weight, and scalable.

Abstract: Coarse resolution satellite data has limited information content of land captured in the images and small area field boundary detection is technically challenging. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and system for detection of field boundaries using coarse resolution satellite data and GIS. Multi-layer crop segmentation approach is used over RoI, wherein agricultural land related segments are derived from a soil layer, a temporal stack for a current season and a temporal change layer from the coarse resolution satellite data of the RoI. Segmentation based on different aspects captures various details at each segmentation layer. The segments are then combined, which aggregates all information related to the land to accurately detect the field boundaries in the RoI. The field boundaries are further refined using GIS topology operations. Baseline cadastral maps are updated using information from maps generated using refined field boundaries identified in real time for each season.

Abstract: Systems and methods for scoring audio/video (A/V) sessions may include a first client which identifies an A/V signal for a session of an A/V application between the first client and a second client, and metrics of a network path between the first client and the second client. The first client may determine a first score for the A/V signal by applying one or more features corresponding to the A/V signal to a model trained to generate the first score. The client may generate a session score for the session based on the first score and the metrics of the network path.

Abstract: Approaches are described for training an action selection neural network system for use in controlling an agent interacting with an environment to perform a task, using a contrastive loss function based on a policy similarity metric. In one aspect, a method includes: obtaining a first observation of a first training environment; obtaining a plurality of second observations of a second training environment; for each second observation, determining a respective policy similarity metric between the second observation and the first observation; processing the first observation and the second observations using the representation neural network to generate a first representation of the first training observation and a respective second representation of each second training observation; and training the representation neural network on a contrastive loss function computed using the policy similarity metrics and the first and second representations.

Abstract: Automatically detecting whether sessions are routed through proxy servers is provided. The system identifies a log with session information generated by a device for a session established between a client and a server traversing the device. The system compares a source internet protocol (“IP”) address for the session identified from the log with IP addresses of proxy servers. The system updates, responsive to a match based on the comparison, the log with an indication that the session was routed through a proxy server.

Abstract: Systems and methods of managing virtual application performance in a virtual computing environment are provided. A system determines an application interaction score based on corresponding application interaction factors associated with sessions. The system determines the application interaction score for each virtual application accessed during each of the sessions. The system generates an aggregated application interaction score for each of the sessions based at least on combining the application interaction score for each of the virtual applications accessed during a corresponding session. The system performs an action based at least in part on the aggregated application interaction score to improve performance of a virtual application accessed via the virtual computing environment.

Abstract: A wireless communication device includes an antenna to receive a signal, a low noise amplifier, and circuitry that determines the power level of the signal. The circuitry also determines whether the signal includes a packet, and causes the low noise amplifier to amplify the signal when the signal includes a packet and the power level of the signal is below a threshold. The circuitry also causes the low noise amplifier to be bypassed when the signal does not include a packet, or the power level of the signal is above the predetermined threshold and the signal includes a packet.

Abstract: In the physical design of an integrated circuit, comparing metal fill locations with an average least resistance path (LRP) for a cell and then filling the location with either power or ground tiles based on the comparison. For each metal layer, all of the metal fill locations are determined and nearby metal fills, i.e., those within a predetermined radius of a located metal fill are connected. A Design Rule Check (DRC) is performed to ensure that connected metal fills meet design specifications, for example, that connected metal fills are not too close to a signal line. The metal fill method improves the power integrity of the design.
