Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for implementing adverse or malicious input mitigation for large language models (“LLMs”) or other AI/ML systems. A subset of example pairs of adverse inputs and proper outputs whose inputs are similar to inputs of a current dialogue context is identified. A subset of example pairs of non-adverse inputs and proper outputs whose inputs are similar to the inputs of the current dialogue context may also be identified. The identified subset(s) of similar example pairs (adverse set and, sometimes, non-adverse set also) is incorporated as part of a prompt for an LLM or AI/ML system to return an output. By following the example adverse input and proper output pairs (and in some cases, the example non-adverse input and proper output pairs as well), the LLM or AI/ML system is less likely to produce improper or inappropriate outputs in response to an attack or other adverse inputs.

Abstract: A technique implements a machine-trained model using resources of a local system. The technique operates by successively obtaining portions of model weights on an as-needed basis. The local system obtains at least some of the portions by downloading them from a source system in a streaming operation. The technique further successively executes parts of the machine-trained model in the local system using the portions of model weights that have been obtained, to provide an output result. An entirety of the model weights used by the local system to provide the output result is less than an entirety of the model weights available for download at the source system. The technique enables the local system to locally execute the machine-trained model without overburdening its local resources, and with reduced consumption of network resources.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a sequence of acoustic frames characterizing an utterance. During a first pass, the method includes generating first-pass audio encodings based on the sequence of acoustic frames using a stack of mask-conformer blocks of an acoustic encoder, generating a first-pass transcription of the utterance based on the first-pass audio encodings using a speech recognition decoder, and generating a first-pass masked output sequence using a mask-predict decoder of the acoustic encoder. During a second pass, the method includes generating second-pass audio encodings by performing cross-attention on the sequence of acoustic frames and the masked first-pass transcription using the stack of mask-conformer blocks of the acoustic encoder and generating a second-pass transcription of the utterance based on the second-pass audio encodings using the speech recognition decoder.

Abstract: A data verification agent serves to verify data that is being redundantly stored in both a first data store and a second data store. The data verification agent compares corresponding objects in the first and second data stores to determine any mismatch between the objects. The data verification agent includes a mismatch ignore function causing the agent to skip a comparison of corresponding data objects in the first and second data stores in response to an indication that a mismatch between the objects would not necessarily indicate a synchronization failure so as to minimize false positive determinations of a synchronization failure.

Abstract: As audio (1) is input to an extension of a browser, the extension transmits the audio (1) to a language processing server. A speech recognition unit obtains a text (1) corresponding to the audio (1), and transmits the text (1) to a natural language understanding unit. In the natural language understanding unit, an information processing unit identifies a URL (1) corresponding to the text (1), and transmits the URL (1) to the browser. The extension passes the URL (1) to a browsing function. The browsing function uses the URL (1) to access a web server. The web server transmits a web page (1) corresponding to the URL (1) to the browser. The browsing function shows a screen corresponding to the web page (1) on a display.

Abstract: Systems and methods for editing and generating digital ink. The present technology may provide systems and methods for training a handwriting model to generate digital ink that is stylistically and visually consistent with an original handwriting input, but which incorporates one or more changes to the text of the original handwriting input.

In such a case, the original handwriting sample may be processed to generate a style vector that is randomly masked, and the handwriting model may then be trained to generate a predicted handwriting sample that closely matches the original handwriting sample using the masked style vector and the original label as inputs.
