A decoder may generate at least one local memory pointer and a sketch response for the new utterance. The sketch response includes at least one sketch tag to be replaced by knowledge base information from the memory. The system generates the dialogue computer response using the local memory pointer to select a word from the filtered knowledge base information to replace the at least one sketch tag in the sketch response.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to storing location information about storage nodes in cookies. A cloud-based service may send location requests to an orchestration service that instantiated storage nodes included in a storage cluster of the cloud-based service. The cloud-based service may receive location information that identifies in which computer zone that a given storage node is located. The cloud-based service may store the location information in cookies at a metadata store that is shared among the storage nodes. The cloud-based service may receive, from a client node, a search request to identify ones of the storage nodes that store particular data. The cloud-based service may return a set of cookies corresponding to identified storage nodes. The set of cookies may enable the client node to determine whether there is a storage node that stores the particular data and is within the same computer zone as the client node.

Abstract: A method for maintaining cache of database objects using a chain set that includes multiple chains each specifying an ordering of database objects is disclosed. In response to a change of state of a particular database object, a corresponding chain is selected. The selected chain is then locked, the state of the particular database object changed, and then the selected chain is unlocked.

Abstract: Cloud services release orchestration with a reusable deployment pipeline. According to some implementations, responsive to receiving from a COS controller parameters from configuration information provided to the COS controller while an app aware proxy routes production traffic to a first application (app) version that communicates with a database management system (DBMS) and that runs in container orchestration system (COS) pods having first app version containers, causing a validation of a second app version using COS pods having second app version containers that are now live after having been brought up by the COS controller responsive to the provision of the configuration information. After the validation, causing the transition to sending production traffic to the second app version containers that are determined to be live instead of to the first app version containers.
