Abstract: A system and method to dynamically analyze digital media and select multimedia assets or items to render with correlated IP-connected media and apps. Hierarchical Taxonomy, Engagement-based and Neural-based asset matching is rendered with rule-based and Diminishing Perspective decision-making. A user can listen, view and interact with the correlated and rendered material using an input device native to the computing device being used to access the IP-connected media. Embodiments extract features from the digital media. The extracted features are semantically analyzed for an understanding of characteristics associated with the respective features. Topics are extracted from the digital media based on the characteristics. Stored assets are correlated to the extracted topics to select an asset based on characteristics of the extracted topics correlating with the selected asset. The selected asset is rendered with the digital media.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improved intelligent manipulation of distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attack traffic are provided. In implementations, a method may include receiving, at a traffic management system, a mirrored first stream of packets from a router on a first link and a mirrored second stream of packets from the router on a second link. The method may further include determining flow information about the first stream. In examples, the flow information may indicate that a challenge to a particular source IP address has been issued to test the legitimacy of the source IP address. The method may further include sending, by the traffic management system, a routing policy update based on the flow information.

Abstract: A method of controlling intra-inter prediction for decoding or encoding of a video sequence, is performed by at least one processor.

Deriving the context value may include based on the current block being determined to be coded in the intra prediction mode, setting the context value of the coded block flag to a first value, and based on the current block being determined to be coded in the inter prediction mode, setting the context value of the coded block flag to a second value.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for identifying document-to-document and/or document-to-entity relationships using machine learning. This may be referred to as document matching. A document matching system may receive a first and a second document and determine whether the documents are associated. For example, a first document may correspond to a contract for a delivery while the second document may correspond to a confirmation of delivery completion. Using machine learning and an analysis of character strings within the documents, the document matching system may identify the documents as matching. The document matching system may also match a document to a data structure representing an entity, such as a delivery, job, and/or shipment contract. The document matching system may also generate a graphical user interface with color highlighting the data fields and values used to determine that the documents are matching.

Abstract: Porous three-dimensional networks of polyurea and porous three-dimensional networks of carbon and methods of their manufacture are described. In an example, polyurea aerogels are prepared by mixing an triisocyanate with water and a triethylamine to form a sol-gel material and supercritically drying the sol-gel material to form the polyurea aerogel. Subjecting the polyurea aerogel to a step of pyrolysis may result in a three dimensional network having a carbon skeleton, yielding a carbon aerogel. The density and morphology of polyurea aerogels can be controlled by varying the amount of isocyanate monomer in the initial reaction mixture. A lower density in the aerogel gives rise to a fibrous morphology, whereas a greater density in the aerogel results in a particulate morphology. Polyurea aerogels described herein may also exhibit a reduced flammability.
