Abstract: A technique is described herein for assisting a user in editing a file. The technique involves producing current context information that includes an input message and selected file content. The input message describes a user's editing objective, while the selected file content describes a portion of the file to which the editing objective is to be applied. The technique then requests a pattern-completion engine to generate edit information based on the current context information. The edit information describes one or more changes to the selected file content that satisfy the objective of the user. The pattern-completion engine uses a machine-trained autoregressive text-completion model that is trained on revision history information. The model can be trained in a process that incorporates various tests to ensure that the edit information that is generated works as expected, satisfies various performance metrics, and fulfills the editing objectives of the user.

Abstract: Indexing application actions for voice-based execution is provided. An indexer of a device receives, from an application executed by the device, an indication of an action and a deep link corresponding to the action declared by the application via an application programming interface. The indexer accesses an index stored in the memory of the device that is accessible to a plurality of applications. The indexer inputs, into a location in the index, the action and the deep link with a cryptographic token that prevents access to the deep link by unauthorized applications. A digital assistant of the device receives a voice query detected by a microphone and parses the voice query to determine the action. The digital assistant identifies in the index the deep link corresponding to the action. The digital assistant invokes, with the cryptographic token, the deep link to cause the application to perform the action.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems that asynchronously train a machine learning model across client devices that implement local versions of the model while preserving client data privacy. To train the model across devices, in some embodiments, the disclosed systems send global parameters for a global machine learning model from a server device to client devices. A subset of the client devices uses local machine learning models corresponding to the global model and client training data to modify the global parameters. Based on those modifications, the subset of client devices sends modified parameter indicators to the server device for the server device to use in adjusting the global parameters. By utilizing the modified parameter indicators (and not client training data), in certain implementations, the disclosed systems accurately train a machine learning model without exposing training data from the client device.

Abstract: Techniques for request throttling in a provider network environment are described. A throttle handler controls whether requests will be processed through maintaining a token-based record, per type of request, having a token value indicative of a number of requests that can be processed over a time period. For a request, the token value of the token-based record corresponding to the request type is updated based on calculating an elapsed time between a last update time of the token-based record and the current time, calculating an intermediate token value as the existing token value plus a value of the elapsed time multiplied by a rate, and updating the token value to be the minimum between the intermediate token value and a burst value. The request is serviced when the updated token value is determined to be greater than or equal to a number of tokens needed to perform the request.
