Abstract: This disclosure relates to verifying the trustworthiness of web applications. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining, by a browser of a client device, an electronic resource comprising code for a web application. The browser renders the electronic resource, including processing the code of the web application. The code causes the browser to initiate a request to a remote server. In response to processing the code, the request is generated and modified to include at least a portion of an integrity element for the web application. The modified request is sent to the remote server. A response to the request is received from the remote server. The response is based on the remote server verifying that the web application is trustworthy using the integrity element. Data is displayed based on the response.

Abstract: The systems and methods use a gradient boosted decision tree, which may be trained in data sparse environments. The system also uses a data transformation step to collapse complex data into a standardized feature input (e.g., a fixed length feature input) that may be processed by the model with a constant (or near-constant) lookup time and with minimal latency. Finally, the system generates a dual variable output that provides both a metric of whether a communication is fraudulent and/or unauthorized as well as a confidence level of that determination.

Abstract: Implementations related to facilitating continued conversations of a user with an automated assistant when the user changes locations relative to one or more devices in an ecosystem of linked assistant devices. The user initially invokes a first device and provides a request, which is processed by the first device. The first device provides a notification to one or more other devices in the ecosystem to indicate that the user is likely to issue a further assistant request. The first device processes subsequent audio data to determine whether the subsequent audio data includes a further assistant request. The one or more other notified devices process device-specific sensor data to determine whether the user is co-present with the one of the other devices. If the user presence is detected, an indication is provided to the first device, causing the first device to cease processing subsequent audio data. Further, the co-present device starts to process subsequent audio data.

Abstract: Techniques and algorithms for monitoring network congestion and for triggering a flow to follow a new path through a network. The network is monitored, and network feedback data is acquired, where that data indicates whether the network is congested. If the network is congested, a feedback-driven algorithm can trigger a flow to follow a new path. By triggering the flow to follow the new path, congestion in the network is reduced. To identify congestion, the feedback data is analyzed to determine whether flows are colliding. The feedback-driven algorithm determines that a network remapping event is to occur in an attempt to alleviate the congestion. A flow is then selected to be remapped to alleviate the congestion.
