Abstract: Methods and systems for reserving resources include determining a state of a distributed computing system based on resource needs of an application that is executed on the distributed computing system and system resource constraints. An action is determined using the state of the distributed computing system as an input to a trained reinforcement learning model. A resource request is issued for the application to reserve resources based on the action.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing communications include identifying a system condition in a distributed computing system comprising a first microservice in communication with a second microservice. A communications method is identified responsive to the identified system condition using a reinforcement learning model that associates communication methods with system conditions. The identified communications method is implemented for communications between the first microservice and the second microservice, such that the first microservice and the second microservice use the identified communications method to transmit data.

Abstract: Methods and systems for deploying a video analytics system include determining one or more applications for a security system in an environment, including one or more constraints. Each functional module in a directed graph representation of one or more applications is profiled to generate one or more configurations for each functional module. The nodes of each graph representation represent functional modules of the respective application, and repeated module configurations are skipped. Resource usage for each of the one or more applications is estimated using the one or more configurations of each functional module and the one or more constraints. The one or more applications are deployed in the environment.

Abstract: A method for free flow fever screening is presented. The method includes capturing a plurality of frames from thermal data streams and visual data streams related to a same scene to define thermal data frames and visual data frames, detecting and tracking a plurality of individuals moving in a free-flow setting within the visual data frames, and generating a tracking identification for each individual of the plurality of individuals present in a field-of-view of the one or more cameras across several frames of the plurality of frames. The method further includes fusing the thermal data frames and the visual data frames, measuring, by a fever-screener, a temperature of each individual of the plurality of individuals within and across the plurality of frames derived from the thermal data streams and the visual data streams, and generating a notification when a temperature of an individual exceeds a predetermined threshold temperature.

Abstract: A system includes one or more application nodes sending SQL queries to one or more query execution nodes. Each query execution node translates the SQL queries into key-based requests to the storage engine, which comprises one or more storage nodes. The system provides an abstraction layer with an external schema and an internal schema, maps the external schema into the internal schema; and generates one or more microshards for the storage node.

Abstract: Systems and methods process generalized-tree-pattern queries by processing a twig query with a bottom-up computation to generate a generalized tree pattern result; encoding the generalized tree pattern results using hierarchical stacks; enumerating the generalized tree pattern result with a top-down computation; a hybrid of top-down and bottom-up computation for early result enumeration before reaching the end of document; and a more succinct encoding scheme that replaces the hierarchical stacks to further improve the performance.

Abstract: Systems and methods to provide two bottom up path matching solutions and one post processing solution for evaluating value predicates and tree pattern queries. The first path matching method triggers the matching whenever a leaf query step is seen and stores the prefix sub-matches in a cache for reuse. The second path matching method is an NFA (non-deterministic finite state automata) based solution through a post-order traversal of the XML document tree. The post processing method relies on a compact encoding the path results, which avoids redundant value predicate, join evaluations and any duplicate elimination, sort and grouping operations.

The system uses a generalized punctuation graph and its transformation to support arbitrary punctuation schemes. The system also provides an efficient shared purge algorithm for multi-way join operator.
