Abstract: Provided are techniques for enhancing silent features with adversarial networks for improved model versions. Input features are obtained. Hidden features are identified. Quantum feature importance scoring is performed to assign an importance score to each of the hidden features. Silent features are identified as the hidden features with the importance score below a first threshold. Important features are identified as the input features and as the hidden features with the importance score above a second threshold. A silent feature model is built using the silent features. An important feature model is built using the important features. An ensemble model is built with the silent feature model and the important feature model. The ensemble model is used to generate one or more predictions and one or more prescriptions.

Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods to provide a firmware update to devices configured in a redundant configuration in an Information Handling System (IHS) are disclosed. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an IHS may include computer-executable instructions to receive a firmware update image associated with the firmware device, determine that the firmware update image possesses a critical sub-image portion, and schedule a firmware update to be performed in the future on the firmware device using the one firmware update image. The firmware update image conforms to a Platform Level Data Model (PLDM) protocol that is configured to perform rebootless firmware updates.

Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods to identify and remediate performance degradation during firmware update in a cluster environment are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an IHS may include computer-executable instructions to receive a request to perform a firmware update on a plurality of computing devices of a computing cluster, obtain an inventory of the computing cluster, and determine a scheduling sequence for updating the computing devices so that the performance of the cluster is optimally maintained. The instructions may then perform the firmware update on each of the computing devices according to the determined scheduling sequence.

Abstract: Systems and methods include a remote access controller of an IHS (Information Handling System) that provides remote management of the IHS. The remote access controller initiates an update of firmware used to operate a hardware component of the IHS by transmitting a firmware image to the hardware component via a first signaling pathway connecting the remote access controller to the hardware component. The remote access controller detects a failure in transmission of the firmware image to the hardware component via the first signaling pathway and identifies a second signaling pathway connecting the remote access controller to the hardware component. The remote access controller resumes transmission of the firmware image to the hardware component via the second signaling pathway and the firmware used to operate the hardware component is updated using the transmitted firmware image.

Abstract: State-of-the-art object detection algorithms (e.g., EfficientDet, Faster-RCNN, and YOLO) and their variants are integrated into an end-to-end IoT cloud-based system deployment. The system can (1) receive real-time video streaming (RTSP/RTMP/SDP) from most CCTV systems and devices with cameras, (2) extract frames from the video streams, (3) feed the frames to multiple AI models simultaneously, and (4) compute a probability for the presence of fire and/or smoke. Based on custom risk thresholds, the outputs can be compiled programmatically into a video clip that is sent to a user automatically for real-time alerts.

Abstract: A media pack includes a filtration sheet and a support sheet engaged with the filtration sheet. The support sheet includes a first perforated sheet and a first media sheet, the first perforated sheet and the first media sheet being corrugated. The filtration sheet and the support sheet are wound together in a substantially spiral shape. The filtration sheet and the support sheet together form a plurality of channels that are alternatively sealed on opposing ends of the media pack.

Abstract: A method implemented in a software as a service (SaaS) management platform, includes: receiving a plurality of contract files relating to purchases of a SaaS application; identifying terms in the plurality of contract files; assigning a normalization SKU to respective contract files based on the terms identified in the respective contract files; generating anonymized contract data by storing the terms of each contract file in association with the normalization SKU assigned to the contract file in an anonymous manner; responsive to a request from a client device, accessing the anonymized contract data to generate a distribution of terms of the anonymized contract data, generating benchmark data identifying an approximate location of terms of a given customer's contract file within the distribution, and returning the benchmark data to the client device for rendering through a user interface.

Abstract: Modified E1a regulatory sequences are provided, wherein at least one Pea3 binding site, or a functional portion thereof, is deleted. Also provided are modified E1a sequences that selectively express particular isoforms. Also provided is an E1b-19K clone insertion site. These modified sequences can be used individually, or in combination with one another, to provide tumor-selective expression of proteins.

Abstract: Various methods and systems for performing analytics based on hierarchical categorization of content are provided. Analytics can be performed using an index building workflow and a classification workflow. In the index building workflow, documents are received and analyzed to extract features from the documents. Hierarchical category paths can be identified for the features. The documents are indexed to support searching the documents for the hierarchical category paths. In the classification workflow, a query, that includes or references content, may be received and analyzed to extract features from the content. The features are executed against a search engine that returns search result documents associated with hierarchical category paths. The hierarchical category paths from the search result documents may be used to generate a topic model of the content associated with the query.

Abstract: Search results are filtered using one or more rankers that evaluate a searcher intention to select items from a subset of search results. A subset of items may be provided that are responsive to a user search query. This subset of items may have one or more related properties and may be logically grouped together. A database of rankers may be evaluated and applied to the subset of items to determine items that are both relevant to the user search query and also correspond to a user intention for the search. As a result, the ranker may select and filter out certain items having one or more features that do not correspond to the user intention.
