Abstract: A computing system obtains text that includes words and provides the text as input to an emotional classifier model that has been trained based upon emotional classification. The computing system obtains a textual embedding of the computer-readable text as output of the emotional classifier model. The computing system generates a phoneme sequence based upon the words of the text. The computing system, generates, by way of an encoder of a text to speech (TTS) model, a phoneme encoding based upon the phoneme sequence. The computing system provides the textual embedding and the phoneme encoding as input to a decoder of the TTS model. The computing system causes speech that includes the words to be played over a speaker based upon output of the decoder of the TTS model, where the speech reflects an emotion underlying the text due to the textual embedding provided to the encoder.

Abstract: A function processing service may receive a request to execute source code. The source code may include instructions to perform a function. The function processing service may determine whether at least one hardware acceleration condition has been satisfied for the function. If at least one hardware acceleration condition has been satisfied, the instructions in the source code may be translated into hardware-specific code corresponding to a hardware circuit. The hardware circuit may be configured based on the hardware-specific code, and the hardware circuit may perform the function. The function processing service may then provide the result obtained from the hardware circuit to the requesting entity.

Abstract: A method of customizing interactive control for a large-format touch-sensitive display device (LFTSDD) is disclosed. One or more images of a scene in front of the LFTSDD are received via a camera of the LFTSDD. The one or more images are computer-analyzed to recognize a human subject in the scene and a location of the human subject relative to the LFTSDD. A variable interaction zone of a display screen of the LFTSDD is determined based at least on the recognized location of the human subject relative to the LFTSDD. The variable interaction zone is smaller than the display screen and positioned a designated distance in front of the human subject on the display screen based at least on the recognized location of the human subject relative to the LFTSDD. A touch control affordance is visually presented in the variable interaction zone of the display screen of the LFTSDD.

Abstract: A data processing pipeline is configured to create and utilize a file view—an abstract representation of a data file that includes a data file content handle and metadata comprising file properties and pipeline-definable tags—that is passed from stage to stage in the pipeline using out-of-band processing (i.e., processing that is independent from data file record processing). The stages in the pipeline are configured to transform the file view by modifying the metadata to enable efficient data file record processing while minimizing the amount of content that needs to be pulled from the data file and held in memory between stages.

Abstract: A media server proxy switches streaming media protocols (“SMPs”) during streaming of media segments. The media server proxy receives a request, from a playback tool, according to a first SMP to provide information about outgoing media segments of a media sequence. The media server proxy generates the information about outgoing media segments and sends the information to the playback tool. The media server proxy also retrieves, from a remote server, incoming media content for the media sequence according to a second SMP different than the first SMP. The media server proxy assembles outgoing media segments based at least in part on the incoming media content. The media server proxy streams, to the playback tool, outgoing media segments according to the first SMP. In this way, the media server proxy can deliver media segments at very low latency, even when the first SMP typically has much higher latency.

Abstract: A computer-implemented labeling technique generates a task description that describes a labeling task to be given to a language model. The technique then sends a prompt to the language model, which includes the task description and a particular item to be labeled. The technique receives a response provided by the language model in response to the prompt, which specifies a class assigned by the language model to the item. In some implementations, the task description specifies a group of suggested classes to be used in classifying the particular item. The task description also invites the language model to specify another class upon a finding that none of the group of suggested classes applies to the item. The technique also allows a user to stop and restart a labeling run at any point in the labeling run. Other aspects of the technique include consensus processing and weight updating.

Abstract: A distributed computing system may include a code repository server configured to store code, a code deployment server configured to receive a deployment of the code, and a development and operations (DevOps) server configured to construct a pipeline between the code repository server and the code deployment server. The DevOps server may be configured to execute a source code management program to receive a request for information regarding a target resource that has been deployed using the pipeline, generate a permissions model for the target resource, the permissions model including one or more permissions, each permission authorizing a managed identity to execute an action related to the target resource, determine a permissions usage history of the permissions contained in the permissions model, filter the permissions model based on the permissions usage history, and generate a list of events determined to have occurred as the filtered permissions model.

Abstract: A technique sends a first prompt to a language model that specifies selector information. The selector information provides a summary of a group of functions that are capable of being invoked. The language model responds by choosing one or more functions from the group of functions. The technique then sends a second prompt to the language model that specifies more detailed information regarding just the function(s) that have been identified by the language model. The language model responds by providing invocation information for each of the functions, such as properly formatted API messages. The technique then invokes the function(s) based on the invocation information. The technique reduces the size of each prompt sent to the language model, which makes efficient use of resources and improves the quality of the language model's output results.

Abstract: A technique partitions a user's original query into plural smaller component queries, each of which has a common part and an instance-specific part. The technique distributes the component queries to plural processor instances of a processor. The plural processor instances transform the respective component queries into query-component responses by acting in parallel, independent of each other. The technique generates a final response based on the query-component responses, e.g., by assembling the component-query responses into the final response. The technique reduces latency because the processor instances work on parts of the user's original query at the same time, rather than as a single stream of consecutive tokens. The plural processor instances have access to a shared cache memory, and utilize relevant data that has been computed in response to previous queries.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating dynamic quick actions for an application in a web browser. The dynamic quick actions correspond to various functions of an application accessible via a web browser sidebar interface. When a hover event is detected in association with an icon of the application, a quick-actions card is generated that includes quick actions of the application from which the user can select. For instance, a selection of a quick action triggers the web browser to execute an action that causes the application function to be performed. Thus, application functions are able to be surfaced and controlled via a single input device selection (e.g., a mouse click).

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system determines activity features for candidates that match parameters of a search from a moderator of an opportunity, wherein the activity features include an amount of interaction between a candidate and additional moderators and a frequency of visits by the candidate to a platform used to conduct the interaction between the candidate and the additional moderators. Next, the system applies a machine learning model to the activity features to produce activeness scores representing levels of activity of the candidates with respect to the platform. The system then generates a ranking of the candidates according to the activeness scores. Finally, the system outputs at least a portion of the ranking as a set of search results of the search.

Abstract: A computing system for conditional generation of protein sequences includes processing circuitry that implements a denoising diffusion probabilistic model. In an inference phase, the processing circuitry receives an instruction to generate a predicted protein sequence having a target functionality, the instruction including first conditional information and second conditional information. The processing circuitry concatenates a first conditional information embedding generated by a first encoder and a second conditional information embedding generated by a second encoder to produce a concatenated conditional information embedding. The processing circuitry samples noise from a distribution function and combines the concatenated conditional information embedding with the sampled noise to produce a noisy concatenated input.

Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for zero trust domain name system (DNS) (ZTDNS) based networking. A computing device implementing ZTDNS based networking blocks any outbound connections that are not included in a list of trusted IP addresses. The list of trusted IP addresses is updated in response to the computing device receiving from a trusted DNS server an IP address corresponding to a DNS request. In some examples, the ZTDNS based networking intercepts and evaluates outbound communications for applications that implement a custom application DNS client. In other examples, the ZTDNS based networking intercepts and evaluates outbound communications for virtual environments. The outbound communications for both the custom application DNS client and the virtual environments are proxied through a local DNS client of the computing device.
