Abstract: This specification discloses techniques for communicating data between a first execution context on a computing system and a second execution context on the computing system. The first execution context can execute content from a first origin, the second execution context can execute content from a second origin that is different from the first origin, and the first execution context and the second execution context can each be restricted from accessing data of the other as a result of a same-origin policy implemented by the computing system. The method can include establishing a bi-directional communication channel between the first execution context and the second execution context.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods that enable adaptive training of a channel coding model including an encoder model, a channel model positioned structurally after the encoder model, and a decoder model positioned structurally after the channel model. The channel model can have been trained to emulate a communication channel, for example, by training the channel model on example data that has been transmitted via the communication channel. The channel coding model can be trained on a loss function that describes a difference between input data input into the encoder model and output data received from the decoder model. In particular, such a loss function can be backpropagated through the decoder model while modifying the decoder model, backpropagated through the channel model while the channel model is held constant, and then backpropagated through the encoder model while modifying the encoder model.

Abstract: A method receives, by a processing device of a streaming server, a first request to view the media item from the client device via a connection between the client device and the streaming server. Prior to a verification that the client device is authorized to play the media item, the method provides an encrypted portion of the media item to the client device via the connection between the client device and the streaming server. Responsive to the verification that the client device is authorized to play the media item, the method sends, by the processing device via the connection between the client device and the streaming server, a cryptography key for decrypting the encrypted portion of the media item by the client device to facilitate the playback of the decrypted portion of the media item.

Abstract: Providing backup digital certificates comprises an application provider, such as a digital wallet system, that obtains signed digital certificates from a certificate authority. The digital wallet system provides an application, such as a digital wallet application, to a user computing devise along with a primary digital certificate and a backup digital certificate. The user computing device utilizes the primary digital certificate to ensure a secure connection with the digital wallet system. If the primary digital certificate is compromised, the digital wallet system may communicate the backup digital certificate to the digital wallet system when a subsequent secure connection is requested. The user computing device may access the backup digital certificate and verify the provided digital certificate. The digital wallet system provides a new backup digital certificate to the user computing device, and the user computing device deletes the compromised digital certificate.

Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, and other techniques are described herein for determining dialog states that correspond to voice inputs and for biasing a language model based on the determined dialog states. In some implementations, a method includes receiving, at a computing system, audio data that indicates a voice input and determining a particular dialog state, from among a plurality of dialog states, which corresponds to the voice input. A set of n-grams can be identified that are associated with the particular dialog state that corresponds to the voice input. In response to identifying the set of n-grams that are associated with the particular dialog state that corresponds to the voice input, a language model can be biased by adjusting probability scores that the language model indicates for n-grams in the set of n-grams. The voice input can be transcribed using the adjusted language model.

Abstract: A method includes receiving transform coefficients corresponding to a scaled video input signal, the scaled video input signal including a plurality of spatial layers that include a base layer. The method also includes determining a spatial rate factor based on a sample of frames from the scaled video input signal. The spatial rate factor defines a factor for bit rate allocation at each spatial layer of an encoded bit stream formed from the scaled video input signal. The spatial rate factor is represented by a difference between a rate of bits per transform coefficient of the base layer and an average rate of bits per transform coefficient. The method also includes reducing a distortion for the plurality of spatial layers by allocating a bit rate to each spatial layer based on the spatial rate factor and the sample of frames.
