Abstract: Systems and methods enable a computing system to recognize a sequence of repeated actions and offer to automatically repeat any such recognized actions. An example method includes determining a current sequence of user actions is similar to previous sequence of user actions, determining whether the previous sequence is reproducible and, when reproducible, initiating display of a prompt that requests approval for completing the current sequence based on the previous sequence and, responsive to receiving an indication of approval, completing the previous sequence. Another example method included determining that a first current sequence of user interactions is complete and is not similar to any saved sequence of user interactions, saving the first current sequence as a previous sequence, identifying a second sequence as satisfying a similarity threshold with the previous sequence, and initiating display of a prompt that requests approval for saving the previous sequence as a shortcut.

Abstract: Provided are aspects relating to methods and computing devices for allocating computing resources and selecting hyperparameter configurations during continuous retraining and operation of a machine learning model. In one example, a computing device configured to be located at a network edge between a local network and a cloud service includes a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to operate a machine learning model. During a retraining window, a selected portion of a video stream is selected for labeling. At least a portion of a labeled retraining data set is selected for profiling a superset of hyperparameter configurations. For each configuration of the superset of hyperparameter configurations, a profiling test is performed. The profiling test is terminated, and a change in inference accuracy that resulted from the profiling test is extrapolated. Based upon the extrapolated inference accuracies, a set of selected hyperparameter configurations is output.

The controller analyzes the one or more inputs to vary the speed of the pump, turn the pump off, and/or send a communication to an operator.

Abstract: Methods to partially decrease reflectivities of at least two regions on a mirror platform relative to a reflectivity of a third region are taught. A first region is defined on a surface of the mirror platform. The first region is a media display device viewing area. A second region is defined on the surface of the mirror platform. The second region is a back lit area. A first material is selectively disposed onto a rear surface of the mirror platform outside of the first region and outside of the second region. The first material increases the reflectivity of the mirror platform outside of the first region and outside of the second region. When the mirror platform is viewed from a front side a reflectivity of a third region, which is outside of the first region and outside of the second region, is greater than a reflectivity of either the first region or the second region; and a reflectivity of the first region is different than a reflectivity of the second region.
