Abstract: A method includes obtaining an automatic speech recognition (ASR) model pre-trained on an initial training dataset, creating a set of canary speech utterances, and speeding up each canary speech utterance in the set of canary speech utterances. The operations also include fine-tuning the ASR model on the set of sped-up canary speech utterances and measuring un-intended memorization of the fine-tuned ASR model based on speech recognition results performed by the fine-tuned ASR model on the sped-up canary speech utterances.

Abstract: This document describes an electronic device with a chassis and a vapor chamber positioned within the chassis. The vapor chamber includes a base plate and a cap portion attached to the base plate to form a sealed chamber. The base plate extends outward beyond the sealed chamber to form an extended portion with a first edge attached to a sidewall of the chassis and a second edge, in the form of a mechanical flange, connected to the chassis. The base plate with the extended portion forms the floor of a battery compartment within the chassis and provides a thermal path between the vapor chamber and the chassis. By integrating the vapor chamber into the structural components, the need for a separate mid-plate is eliminated, allowing for a thinner device that efficiently dissipates heat while maintaining structural rigidity.

Abstract: Data are maintained in a distributed computing system that describe a graph. The graph represents relationships among items. The graph has a plurality of vertices that represent the items and a plurality of edges connecting the plurality of vertices. At least one vertex of the plurality of vertices includes a set of label values indicating the at least one vertex's strength of association with a label from a set of labels. The set of labels describe possible characteristics of an item represented by the at least one vertex. At least one edge of the plurality of edges includes a set of label weights for influencing label values that traverse the at least one edge. A label propagation algorithm is executed for a plurality of the vertices in the graph in parallel for a series of synchronized iterations to propagate labels through the graph.

Abstract: This document discloses techniques, apparatuses, and systems for secure multi-rail control for sparsely encoded signals. Integrated circuits (ICs) may transmit various signals to manage interactions between circuit components of the IC. These critical signals are common targets for malicious attacks because, when altered, they can cause the IC to perform differently than is intended, and in some cases, bypass security measures. While various strategies may be used to protect against these attacks, modern circuit synthesis tools may optimize away these security measures, leaving the IC vulnerable to manipulation. In contrast, the secure multi-rail control for sparsely encoded signals described herein utilizes multiple rails to transmit sparsely encoded critical signals.

Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying media files on a device are provided. The device provides a first mode that displays a subset of media files, determined by a user query, from a plurality of media files. Once activated, the first mode persists on the device prior to becoming inactive. A second mode of the device displays the plurality of media files. The second mode is active when the first mode is inactive. An instruction is received from a user. When the instruction specifies the first mode by inclusion of a user query, a corresponding subset of files is obtained from a remote system. The subset of files is sequentially displayed until the period of time has elapsed according to the first mode. When the instruction does not specify a query, the plurality of files is polled for from a remote device and sequentially displayed according to the second mode.

Abstract: A hybrid query execution plan is generated for executing queries on database systems implementing a columnar cache. A hybrid query execution plan combines a query execution plan for querying and retrieving data from a columnar cache and a base table. A columnar cache stores cached data in column-major format, which is logically represented by the database management system in row-major format. A database management system as described herein can scan valid blocks of column data according to a column scan operation. The system can identify invalidated blocks and execute a different sub-execution plan of the hybrid query execution plan to scan corresponding rows in tables corresponding to the location of data for the invalidated blocks.

Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses are described for determining a position of user equipment by using adaptive phase-changing devices. In aspects, a base station transmits wireless signals for a UE toward respective reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) of adaptive phase-changing devices. The APDs may direct reflections of the wireless signals in a direction, such as toward the UE, based on a configuration of the RIS of the APD. The base station receives, from the UE via a wireless connection, identifiers of the reflections of the wireless signals that are received by the UE. In some cases, the base station also receives a signal quality parameter associated with the reflection reaching the UE. The base station determines angular information based on the respective identifiers and/or signal quality parameters of the reflections. Based on the angular information and known positions of the APDs, the base station determines a position of the UE.

Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses that enable determining expected hash-values in functions with control flow. A computing device receives a function comprising function instructions within at least three basic blocks connected via multiple execution paths. Hash-input instructions are inserted within a plurality of the basic blocks that indirectly force hash values at the respective insertion points. Hash values at ends of the plurality of the basic blocks are set to a canonical value and an expected hash-value and hash input-values are calculated using a hash function. By using the canonical value and the hash input-values, the expected hash-value is the same regardless of which execution path is executed.
