  • Refactoring and/or rearchitecting source code using machine learning
    Patent number: 11893384
    Abstract: Implementations are described herein for leveraging machine learning to automate source code refactoring and/or rearchitecting. In various implementations, one or more ground truth boundaries may be removed from one or more boundaried source code files to produce one or more boundary-less source code files. One or more of the boundary-less source code files may be processed using a machine learning model to predict one or more candidate boundaries for reintroduction into the one or more boundary-less source code files. The one or more ground truth boundaries may be compared with the one or more predicted candidate boundaries. The machine learning model may be trained based on the comparing.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems and methods for training transformer models using position masking. In some embodiments, a set of data for training a transformer model is received. The set of data includes a sequence of tokens and a set of position values. Each position value in the set of position values represents a position of a token in the sequence of tokens relative to other tokens in the sequence of tokens. A subset of the set of position values in the set of data is selected. Each position value in the subset of the set of position values is replaced with a second defined value to form a second set of defined values. The transformer model is trained using the set of data.

  • Method and apparatus for mobile device as temporary content origin
    Patent number: 11895171
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for content delivery. A user of a first computing device that is playing back content may want to transfer or cast the content to a second computing device. When the first computing device receives the request to cast the content to the second computing device, the content may continue to be received and played back by the first computing device while it establishes a seamless transition to the second computing device. The first computing device may contact the content origin and send to the second computing device a manifest file that instructs the second computing device to request an initial portion of the segments of the content from the first computing device. The content origin may then process the cast request from the first computing device and begin providing subsequent segments of content to the second computing device.
