Abstract: Technology of the disclosure may facilitate user discovery of various voice-based action queries that can be spoken to initiate computer-based actions, such as voice-based action queries that can be provided as spoken input to a computing device to initiate computer-based actions that are particularized to content being viewed or otherwise consumed by the user on the computing device. Some implementations are generally directed to determining, in view of content recently viewed by a user on a computing device, at least one suggested voice-based action query for presentation via the computing device. Some implementations are additionally or alternatively generally directed to receiving at least one suggested voice-based action query at a computing device and providing the suggested voice-based action query as a suggestion in response to input to initiate providing of a voice-based query via the computing device.

Abstract: Techniques for using validated communications identifiers of a user's communications profile to resolve entries in another user's contact list are described. When a user imports a contact list, the contact list may include multiple entities related to the same person. The system may identify one of the entries in the contact list that corresponds to a validated communications identifier stored in another user's communications profile. The system may identify other validated communications identifiers in the other user's communications profile and cross-reference them against the entries of the contact list. If the system determines the contact list includes entries for the different validated communications identifiers of the other user, the system may consolidate the entries into a single entry associated with the other user.

Abstract: Techniques are described for a hierarchical caching mechanism enabling efficient cross-region replications. In some embodiments, replication-related information (e.g., key-value pairs) is stored in a particular layout in a binary tree (B-tree) of a file system for replication processing. A hierarchy of caches storing a first type of information (e.g., crypto keys associated with iNodes) may be arranged to match the particular layout in the B-tree to enable efficient parallel processing of a second type of information (e.g., files, file data, or symbolic links), where the replication-related information in the B-tree is partitioned into multiple key ranges for parallel processing. In some embodiments, the caches in different hierarchies may be shared by different parallel-processing key ranges and replication jobs in a file system.

Abstract: Techniques are described for snapshot key inter-dependency resolution during cross-region replications. Dependency between a first type of replication-related information (e.g., crypto keys associated with a parent directory iNode or a file iNode) and a second type of replication-related information (e.g., files, file data/FMAPs, or symbolic links) during a cross-region replication may be resolved to enable non-blocking delta application in a target file system. In some embodiments, temporary dummy entries for the first type of information may be created in the B-tree of the target file system for the out-of-order download (e.g., the second type being downloaded before the first type) of these two types of information. In some embodiments, a consolidation process may be performed between the dummy entries and the later-arriving first type of information.

Abstract: Detecting anomalous behavior using a browser extension, including: gathering first information describing activity associated with a user and generated by a browser extension on a user device; gathering second information describing activity associated with the user and generated by an application executed on the user device; and determining, based on the first information and the second information, whether the user has deviated from normal activity.

Abstract: Techniques are described for enabling concurrent and non-blocking replication object deletion during cross-region replications. In some embodiments, in a target file system, a target replication pipeline as part of a cross-region replication, and a deletion pipeline operate in parallel. The deletion pipeline deletes processed objects reaching the last pipeline stage of the target replication pipeline after each checkpoint in the target replication pipeline. In some embodiments, after a non-recoverable failure during the cross-region replication, the cross-region replication can be restarted from the beginning (i.e., fresh restart) without waiting for its unused objects in the Object Store to be deleted by utilizing a generation number associated with each object to delete the unused objects in a background process while allowing deleting processed objects as normal for the freshly restarted cross-region replication.

Abstract: Techniques are described for enabling replication-aware resource management and task management in a cloud infrastructure for cross-region replication. In some embodiments, each replication job is associated with a set of replication-related information. In certain embodiments, the replication-aware resource management allocates resources, using a combination of various resource allocation schemes, to a fleet of replicators to allow the fleet to select replication jobs in a job queue, and perform resource scaling based on monitored performance metrics reported by the fleet. In some embodiments, the replication-aware task management enables replication job selection based on the set of replication-related information to optimize the performance of all cross-region replications in the region.

Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and computer-storage media, and graphical user interfaces are provided for facilitating efficient meeting management, according to embodiments of the present technology. In one embodiment, engagement data associated with an attendee of an online meeting is obtained. Thereafter, an engagement metric is generated using the engagement data, the engagement metric indicating an extent of engagement of the attendee to the online meeting. Based on the engagement metric indicating that the extent of engagement of the attendee to the online meeting falls below an engagement threshold, a request is provided to disconnect or throttle an audio and/or video stream of the online meeting to and/or from an attendee device associated with the attendee of the online meeting. Efficient meeting management may also be performed by clustering related messages.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for developing an individual-specific patient baseline for a target patient. An exemplary method involves: determining one or more acuity scores for the target patient; identifying patient health data corresponding to one or more low acuity time periods; storing retrospective clinical data from a group of patients in a second database; comparing the patient health data corresponding to the one or more low acuity time periods with retrospective clinical data from a group of patients by identifying one or more patient subgroups; determining the individual-specific patient baseline using an adaptive baseline selection algorithm, wherein the adaptive baseline selection algorithm is used to determine whether to determine the individual-specific patient baseline using patient health data or using retrospective clinical data from one or more patient subgroups; and displaying, using a user interface, the individual-specific patient baseline.

Abstract: A speech recognition platform configured to receive an audio signal that includes speech from a user and perform automatic speech recognition (ASR) on the audio signal to identify ASR results. The platform may identify: (i) a domain of a voice command within the speech based on the ASR results and based on context information associated with the speech or the user, and (ii) an intent of the voice command. In response to identifying the intent, the platform may perform a corresponding action, such as streaming audio to the device, setting a reminder for the user, purchasing an item on behalf of the user, making a reservation for the user or launching an application for the user. In some instances, the speech recognition platform engages in a back-and-forth dialog with the user in order to properly fulfill the user's request.

Other examples may be described.

Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, context-driven device arbitration techniques to select a speech interface device from multiple speech interface devices to provide a response to a command included in a speech utterance of a user. In some examples, the context-driven arbitration techniques may include executing multiple pipeline instances to analyze audio signals and device metadata received from each of the multiple speech interface devices which detected the speech utterance. A remote speech processing service may execute the multiple pipeline instances and analyze the audio signals and/or metadata, at various stages of the pipeline instances, to determine which speech interface device is to respond to the speech utterance.

Abstract: Synchronized output of audio on a group of devices can comprise sending audio data from an audio distribution master device to one or more slave devices in the group. Scores can be assigned to respective audio playback devices, the scores being indicative of a performance level of the respective audio playback devices acting as a master device. The device with the highest score is designated as a candidate master device and one or more remaining devices are designated as a candidate slave(s). A throughput test is conducted with the highest scoring device acting as the candidate master device. The results of the throughput test are used to determine a master device for a group of devices. Latency of the throughput test can be reduced by using a prescribed time period for completion of the throughput test, and/or by selecting a first group configuration to passes the throughput test.

Abstract: A system that determines that devices are co-located in an acoustic region and selects a single device to which to send incoming notifications for the acoustic region. The system may group devices into separate acoustic regions based on selection data that selects between similar audio data received from multiple devices. The system may select the best device for each acoustic region based on a frequency that the device was selected previously, input/output capabilities of the device, a proximity to a user, or the like. The system may send a notification to a single device in each of the acoustic regions so that a user receives a single notification instead of multiple unsynchronized notifications. The system may also determine that acoustic regions are associated with different locations and select acoustic regions to which to send a notification based on location.
