Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for enabling access to a resource in a secured manner. A token request from an application executing in a first computing environment may be received in a second computing environment. The second computing environment may assign a trust level to the received token request that indicates that the first computing environment may not be trusted. The token request, along with the trust level, may be provided to an authorization server to generate an authorization token that includes a trust indication indicative of the trust level of the second computing environment. When the application executing in the second computing environment transmits the authorization token to a resource manager to access a resource, the resource manager may be configured to perform a precautionary action to protect the resource prior to providing access, such as creating a backup of the resource.

Abstract: A method for annotating images to create a corpus for training a multi-task computer vision machine learning model is presented. The method comprises receiving, at one or more annotation specialist models, a plurality of images to be annotated. Via operation of the one or more annotation specialist models, pre-filtered annotations are generated for the plurality of images.

Abstract: The disclosed concepts relate to contextualization of generative language models. In some implementations, a linked entity database is populated with entity resource identifiers of entities extracted from a search log by an entity linker.

A response to the contextualized prompt data structure is received, where the response is conditioned on the linked entity context information.

Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for automatically assisting conversations using a graph database.

Entities may be extracted from the phrase based on natural language recognition according to a domain context of the participant being assisted. One or more tags may be looked up from a graph database, and may be provided to the participant as a list of hashtags related to the conversation. Links to documents may be extracted based on the tags for the participant for viewing during the conversation.

Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein provide controlled user interface transitions for private breakout communication sessions. A system provides a Together Mode user interface that gives participants of a communication session a feeling that they are in the same room. When a person joins a communication session, a system uses a seating policy to determine a location of that user. That user is placed near or next to a select user. A policy is applied when users meet one or more conditions. If a number of people join the communication session, each person is ranked according to an organizational chart and each person is positioned and ordered relative to the select user according to each person's rank. The system configures the updated user interface arrangement to maintain the position of the select group of the participants.

Abstract: A fabric control protocol (FCP) and packet forwarding mechanisms are described that maximize utilization of bandwidth within massive, large-scale data centers having multi-stage data center switch fabric topologies, such as topologies that include a third switching layer formed by super spine switches. Automatic generation of data plane forwarding information referred to as FCP path information enumerates, for each data processing unit (DPU), the available FCP paths. The FCP path information may be based on unique combinations of peak points of the switch fabric for a given DPU with FCP colors assigned to network links that are used to multi-home the DPU to the switch fabric.

Abstract: In various examples, there is a method of enabling an attestable update of a firmware layer that provides a unique identity of a computing device. An immutable firmware layer is used to access a unique device secret. The immutable layer is used to derive a hardware device identity (HDI) from the unique device secret. The immutable layer is used to derive a compound device identity (CDI) from a measurement of the firmware layer and the unique device secret. The CDI and HDI are made available to the firmware layer. The firmware layer is used to issue a local certificate to endorse a device identity key, derived from the CDI, the local certificate signed by a key derived from the HDI.

Abstract: Various implementations of the present disclosure relate to style transfer. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method comprises: obtaining a target object having a first style, a style of the target object being editable; obtaining a reference image including a reference object; obtaining a second style of the reference object, the second style of the reference object being extracted from the reference image; and applying the second style to the target object.

Abstract: The present concepts relate to lossless data compression techniques for reducing the size of a data structure. Certain data in the data structure that can be either recovered from another source or rebuilt from other available information may be removed from the data structure. To further reduce data size, the retained data in the data structure may be packed into a smaller-bit encoding data type. Additionally, to reduce the data size even more, the packed data may be zipped using a lossless data compression algorithm. To regain the original data structure, the process may be reversed. The zipped data may be unzipped using a lossless data decompression algorithm. The packed data may be unpacked into the original bit-sized data encoding. The removed data may be restored by either recovering it from another source or rebuilding it from other available information.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of using a requestor identity to enforce a security policy on a network connection that conforms to a shared-access communication protocol. A request to create the network connection to a network resource is received. The network connection is associated with the requestor identity, which identifies a requesting entity associated with the request, by associating the request with the requestor identity and further by associating the network connection with the request. A determination is made whether the requesting entity is authorized to access the network resource based at least in part on a permission that is indicated by the security policy. Based at least in part on the permission indicating that the requesting entity is authorized to access the network resource, the network connection to the network resource is created.
