Abstract: Techniques are described for providing customizable sign-on functionality, such as via an access manager system that provides single sign-on functionality and other functionality to other services for use with those services' users. The access manager system may maintain various sign-on and other account information for various users, and provide single sign-on functionality for those users using that maintained information on behalf of multiple unrelated services with which those users interact. The access manager may allow a variety of types of customizations to single sign-on functionality and/or other functionality available from the access manager, such as on a per-service basis via configuration by an operator of the service, such as co-branding customizations, customizations of information to be gathered from users, customizations of authority that may be delegated to other services to act on behalf of users, etc.

Abstract: The systems and methods disclosed herein can increase the speed and ease with which a user can discover compatible replacement parts for a specified model of a product by automatically determining when the user is interested in replacement parts. A replacement part system can conclude that a user is looking for replacement parts based on the user's search queries, the user's browsing behavior, or the user's prior purchases. By automatically deducing an intention to purchase a replacement part, the replacement part system can make it easier for a user to locate suitable replacement parts. In addition, the replacement part system can be configured to tailor listing set of replacement parts search results it provides to a user. The set of search results can be tailored based on a number of criteria to increase the speed with which the user finds a compatible replacement part.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are provided for cloud-based privacy controls. User content is encrypted using a content encryption key (CEK). The CEK may be double-encrypted by the data producer—the inner envelope is encrypted using keys associated with privacy domains that are authorized to access the user content. The outer envelope is encrypted using a cloud privacy control's public key. When a data consumer requests access the user content, the cloud privacy control evaluates privacy policies and determine whether access should be permitted. If permitted, the cloud privacy control decrypts the outer envelope and provides the inner envelope with CEK to the requestor. Upon receiving the inner envelope, the data consumer may then decrypt the inner envelope with its privacy domain private key to obtain the CEK. The CEK may then be used to perform a decryption and obtain the user content.

Abstract: A multi-radio service of a provider network may be used to manage and route payloads for client edge devices that use multiple types of radios. The multi-radio service may associate different types of radio controllers with an edge device of a client, so that messages that are transmitted from different types of edge device radios can be handled by different radio controllers. A radio controller may receive a message and extract the payload from the message based on the data/data format specific to the radio protocol used to transmit the message. When a client-owned cloud application sends a payload to an edge device, the multi-radio service may select, based on criteria (e.g., fastest data transmission), the radio of the edge device from multiple available radios. The corresponding radio controller may then generate and send a message to the selected radio of the edge device (e.g., via a corresponding gateway).

Abstract: Approaches are described for image signal processor day-night detection. An exemplary approach for a camera with an infrared light source involves determining a brightness value for image data based on an average luma value for the image data, determining white balance data for the first image data, and determining, based on the white balance data for the image data and white balance data for the infrared light source, a deviation value for the image data. A transition from night mode to day mode can be effected based on comparing the brightness value for the image data to a first threshold, and comparing the deviation value for the image data to a second threshold.

Abstract: Techniques for Meta-Q-Learning (MQL) are described. A method of MQL may include receiving a request from an agent to perform adaptation based at least on task data associated with a new task collected by the agent, identifying a subset of meta-training data corresponding to the task data in a replay buffer, and adapting a policy using the subset of meta-training data and the task data to generate an adapted policy, wherein the adapted policy is used identify a next action for the agent to perform.

Abstract: A vehicle data management system and data jurisdiction system manage vehicle data between multiple jurisdictions and enables a set of jurisdiction rules involving rules of various jurisdictions to be applied consistently. The vehicle data jurisdiction system can detect changes in jurisdiction of a vehicle based on various pieces of received vehicle information and applies appropriate jurisdiction rules from a set of jurisdiction rules. Various jurisdictions may have conflicting jurisdiction rules and, in such circumstances, the data jurisdiction system resolves potential conflicts between the rules using a jurisdiction rules resolution workflow. Based on the resolution of the conflict, the data jurisdiction system can migrate data of the vehicle to one or more other jurisdictions, or otherwise implement the correct rules determined by resolving the conflict.

Abstract: Techniques for computer system-based conversations are described. In an example, a system receives, from a first device, first data corresponding to a first interaction in a conversation that requests a function. The system causes the first device to output a first response to the first interaction. Prior to an execution of the function, the system determines that the conversation is to be paused and causes the first device to output a first indication that the conversation is paused. Upon determining that the conversation is to be resumed, the system causes a second device to output a second indication that the conversation is resumed. The second device can be the same or different from the first device. The system receives, from the second device, second data corresponding to a second interaction in the conversation and causes the execution of the function based at least in part on the second data.

Abstract: An algorithm execution management system of a provider network may receive a request from a user for executing an algorithm using different types of computing resources, including classical computing resources and quantum computing resources. The request may indicate a container that includes the algorithm code and dependencies such as libraries for executing the algorithm. The algorithm execution management system may first determine that the quantum computing resources are available to execute the algorithm, and then cause the classical computing resources to be provisioned. The algorithm execution management system may cause at least one portion of the algorithm to be executed at the classical computing resources using the container indicated by the user, and at least another portion of the algorithm to be executed at the quantum computing resources. The quantum task of the algorithm may be provided a priority during execution of the algorithm for using the quantum computing resources.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automated modification of delivery parameters. Particularly, computing model that is trained to determine a probability that a delivery defect is likely to occur for a given delivery or set of deliveries. Based on the probability, various limitations associated with the deliveries may be activated or deactivated on a mobile device application used by a delivery driver to perform the deliveries. The systems and methods reduce the number of delivery defects that occur while simultaneously reducing the use of unnecessary guardrails for low-risk deliveries. The model may be queried in real-time such that guardrails for a delivery itinerary may be optimized prior to the delivery driver beginning the delivery route.
