  • Patent number: 12717846
    Abstract: Dimension reduction is performed for multimodal embedding searches. A request to perform a search using input data of a modality of a multimodal machine learning model is received. The input data is encoded using the multimodal machine learning model to generate a first embedding that represents the input data. A machine learning dimension reduction technique is applied to the first embedding to generate a second embedding with a reduced number of dimensions. This second embedding is then used to search an index of data objects also generated using both the multimodal machine learning model and the machine learning dimension reduction technique.

  • Patent number: 12717611
    Abstract: A traffic controller (TC) circuit monitors an ingress stream being fed to an integrated circuit (IC) component comprising the TC circuit, wherein the IC component is part of a processing pipeline of a computing device. The TC circuit controls input traffic on the ingress stream to processing logic circuitry of the IC component. The TC circuit also controls output traffic on an egress stream being outputted from the IC component. The TC circuit generates an interrupt based on a set of operational metric configurations, and the ingress stream or the egress stream.

  • Patent number: 12717645
    Abstract: Techniques for disconnected remote task restarts via situational distributed control are described. A container instance operates in a cluster of container instances that is remote from a control plane. Each agents of the container instances can be configured with a control module that provides purposefully limited control plane functionalities that are activated in specific scenarios. Each agent can be configured, by the control plane, with mappings indicative of other agents—and their currently-executing tasks—that the agent is to serve as a backup control plane for. Upon a failure associated with an agent coupled with a lack of network connectivity from the cluster to the control plane, another agent can become a backup control plane to restart task execution for the affected agent.

  • Patent number: 12718565
    Abstract: Input data comprising video and associated audio is processed to generate recap data, such as video with audio that summarizes previous occurrence and entices a viewer. The input data is processed to generate dense text data that includes timestamps, dialogue, descriptions of scenes of the video, and so forth. The input data is also processed to generate summary data, such as scene, episode, and season summaries. A set of one or more machine learning (ML) systems use this as input to generate a narration script. Narration audio is generated from the narration script. The narration script is then used to generate sections of a recap such as an intro, teaser, detail, and outro. Each portion may include narration audio, clips of video, video clips of relevant dialog, background music, audio effects, and so forth. The duration of elements may be constrained based on the presentation of associated narration audio.

  • Patent number: 12718193
    Abstract: An apparatus for use at an inventory location stowing items comprises an array of sensor elements. Each sensor element comprises a plurality of conductive elements that may be driven as a self-capacitance sensor. A set of one or more sensor elements may be associated with a particular lane. Based on the changes in self-capacitance values and the association, the lane a user interacted with may be determined. The determination of the set of sensor elements associated with a particular lane may be determined during a setup process. During operation, the conductive elements may be driven to compensate for changes in the self-capacitance resulting from temperature changes resulting from changes in ambient temperature or the items. Compensated capacitance data may be used to determine interaction data, count of items in the lane, and so forth. Sensor elements at one or both ends of a lane may be used to disambiguate interactions.

  • Patent number: 12719842
    Abstract: Techniques for utilizing a cloud-side link module and a provider substrate extension (PSE) link module to secure a communications channel between a cloud provider network and a provider substrate extension are described. A PSE link module receives a request originated by a compute instance in the PSE that is destined to a destination within the cloud provider network. The request was encrypted using an encryption scheme that encrypts traffic of a virtual private cloud that the compute instance operates in. The PSE link module decrypts the first request, encrypts it using a separate encryption scheme, and transmits it via a secure tunnel to a second link module in the cloud provider network. The second link module can decrypt the encrypted traffic and cause it to be validated before it is passed on via the cloud provider's substrate network to be processed.
