Abstract: Developing a new solution or revising an existing solution to meet organizational requirements is often time consuming. One solution to overcome the above problem is to integrate existing solution providers like bots without affecting the overall performance. Conventional methods integrate bots performing similar operations. To overcome the challenges in the conventional approaches, the present disclosure provides a method and system for Machine learning (ML) based integration of bots. The present disclosure integrates a plurality of dissimilar bots using ML approach. Further, the present disclosure enables an end-user to combine two or more similar or dissimilar bots using an interface. The end-user/user can create, combine, validate and test the combined dissimilar bots without any prior knowledge of programming. Furthermore, the present disclosure auto-recommends the end-user regarding which bots can be combined with the selected bots by checking the technical and end-user feasibility.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, a system is described for customizing user accounts based on user actions, which may include receiving, via a user device, a first user input requesting to create an account for a user. The system may further receive, via the user device, a second user input selecting an account type for the account from a plurality of account types. In response to these user inputs, the system may retrieve, from a server, one or more account requirements for the account type, determine that the user meets the one or more account requirements and create an account in response to determining that the user meets the one or more account requirements.

Abstract: A method includes a computer receiving a request to conduct an interaction from a mobile device. The computer obtains a computer address and provides the computer address to the mobile device. The mobile device provides an access request to the computer address, and the access request is thereafter routed to an identity provider computer. The identity provider computer identifies identity data associated with the mobile device or a user of the mobile device. The computer obtains the identity data or a derivative of the identity data from the identity provider computer. The computer determines if the identity data or the derivative of the identity data matches previously stored identity data or a previously stored derivative of identity data. If a match is determined, the computer provides a list of user device identifiers to the mobile device.

Abstract: An electronic smoking article includes an outer tube extending in a longitudinal direction, an inner tube within the outer tube and including a pair of opposing slots, a liquid supply comprising a liquid material, a coil heater, a wick and a mouth end insert. The coil heater is located in the inner tube. The coil heater is formed of an iron-free, nickel-chromium alloy and has substantially uniformly spaced windings. The wick is surrounded by the coil heater such that the wick delivers liquid material to the coil heater and the coil heater heats the liquid material to a temperature sufficient to vaporize the liquid material and form an aerosol in the inner tube.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting and localizing manipulations of portable document format (PDF) files are provided. The system receives one or more PDF files and processes each PDF file using a plurality of check processes. Each check process includes a defined or learned weight that determines that process's level of influence on any document's overall suspicion score, as well as an opinion score for each PDF file based on unique logic and a plurality of factors related to the particular PDF file. The system can generate an overall suspicion score for the PDF file based on the results of the check processes, which can be calculated by aggregating the weight and an opinion score associated with each check process and file. The system can then determine whether the PDF file is a suspicious file using the overall suspicion score.

Abstract: Systems and methods for securing data transmissions using distance measurements are disclosed. A mobile device (such as a smart phone) and a base station can use ultra-wideband technology to determine the distance between the two devices. The distance measurements produced by the mobile device and the base station can be compared, directly or indirectly by the mobile device, the base station, and/or an access device to determine whether the mobile device is present at an access device or if the mobile device is not present at the access device (as expected during a relay attack). If the mobile device is not present at the access device, the access device can prevent or cancel an interaction based on the data transfer (e.g., opening a locked door of a secure building in response to receiving an access credential from the mobile device).

Abstract: A method for testing failover includes: determining one or more cross-regional dependencies and traffic flow of an application in a first cloud environment region, wherein the one or more cross-regional dependencies include a dependency of the application in the first region to one or more applications in at least one other cloud environment region; determining a risk score associated with performing failover of the application to a second cloud environment region based on the determined one or more cross-regional dependencies and traffic flow; comparing the determined risk score with a predetermined risk score; in response to determining that the determined risk score is lower than the predetermined risk score, performing failover of the application to the second region; isolating the second region from the first region for a predetermined period of time; and monitoring operation of the application in the second region during the predetermined period of time.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to neural network inferencing, and more particularly, to a method and system for neural network inferencing in logarithmic domain. The conventional techniques include training a neural network in logarithmic domain and performing inferencing. This leads to less accuracy, challenge in converting large models and unable to perform optimization. The present disclosure converts a pre-trained neural network into logarithmic domain using a bit manipulation based logarithm number system technique wherein the neural network is pre-trained in real time or in logarithmic domain. The method converts the weights, neural network layers and activation function into logarithmic domain. The method uses a 32-bit integer variable to store a logarithm number which leads to memory efficiency. The disclosed method is used for inferencing of convolutional neural network for natural language processing, image recognition and so on.

For example, the methods and systems may determine whether or not a first communication relates to a second and generate a recommendation that the communications relate to a single communication. In particular, the methods and systems described herein describe synchronizing communication records in computer networks based on detecting patterns in categories of metadata. For example, the methods and systems retrieve specific types of metadata and compare this metadata between communications in order to synchronize and/or deduplicate them.

Abstract: Aspects described herein may relate to a transaction exchange platform using a streaming data platform (SDP) and microservices to process transactions according to review and approval workflows. The transaction exchange platform may receive transactions from origination sources, which may be added to the SDP as transaction objects. As the transactions are received, the transactions may be analyzed to detect duplicate transactions and/or errors in the transactions. The transaction exchange platform may take steps to remediate transactions that are recognized as duplicates or predicted to generate one or more errors. Similarly, the transaction exchange platform may take steps to remediate transactions that are rejected by a clearinghouse.
