Abstract: A conversational artificial intelligence (AI) point-of-sale (POS) system uses generative AI to help a store associate complete tasks in a retail environment. This POS system combines four technologies: (1) speech recognition; (2) natural language processing; (3) acting in response to verbal command in the context of a retail store and a POS device; and (4) providing bi-directional and fully conversational responses. The AI, which runs in an app on a smartphone, tablet, or other mobile device, uses a machine learning (ML) model, such as a small language model (SLM) or large language model (LLM), that is trained against support tickets and other product documentation. The AI understands dependencies (e.g., the tills should be reconciled before closing the store) and predict appropriate responses to conversational inputs.

Abstract: A machine learning model hosted on a cloud platform may be used to proactively predict if a maintenance procedure should be performed for a vehicle. In some examples, to support the prediction, the machine learning model may be connected to a different cloud platform that includes a customer relationship management (CRM) system and receives data from sensors of the vehicle. As such, the cloud platform with the CRM data may transmit the CRM data and the sensor data of the vehicle to the cloud platform hosting the machine learning model to aid in generating the maintenance procedure predictions. Further, the maintenance procedure predictions may also include the generation of a prediction score associated with a maintenance procedure. In some examples, the prediction score may satisfy a prediction score threshold, thus a notification may be transmitted to a computing device that indicates the maintenance procedure to be performed for the vehicle.

Abstract: A database with virtual partitioning. A computer system used to implement the database receives a request for a database operation to be performed on data stored in a portion of the database, where the data has a group of logical partitions (e.g., tenants of a multi-tenant database), and where the portion of the database is not further physically partitioned. The computer system identifies a virtual partitioning scheme for the database operation, the virtual partitioning scheme defining sub-groups of the group of logical partitions. The computer system then performs the database operation for the sub-groups defined by the virtual partitioning scheme. Multiple virtual partitioning schemes can be active at the same time, and virtual partitioning schemes can be created dynamically in some instances.

Abstract: A semantic query processing system enables data analytics through a metadata-driven architecture. The system processes analytical queries through a layered execution path that maintains consistent logic across system components. For incoming semantic queries, the system coordinates processing between semantic and storage layers instead of, or in addition to, requiring pre-materialized calculations. A gateway service receives semantic queries while a query preparer generates execution plans based on semantic model metadata defining relationships, measures, and dimensions. A query generator transforms these plans into optimized SQL operations, with complex calculations handled through post-processing. The system reduces analytical complexity by eliminating pre-calculation requirements, enables real-time metric computation through coordinated query processing, and maintains semantic consistency through metadata-driven execution.

Abstract: A system generates consistent copies of data stored in a source database in a plurality of target database systems. The system sends a change data stream from the source database system to the target database systems for performing data updates. The system receives timestamps of a latest transactions processed by consumer processes updating the target database system. The system determines a pause timestamp that occurs after the received transactions. The updates to the target database systems are paused once a transaction corresponding to the pause timestamp is processed. The pause timestamp is used to generate a consistent copy of a source database system in a target database system using multiple partitioned change data streams, each partitioned change data stream processing transactions associated with a partition of the source database system.

Abstract: Techniques are described for expediting communications between a first person of an organization associated with a communication platform and a second person not associated with the organization.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a framework designed to enable personalized image generation capabilities in a pretrained text-to-image generation model. The architecture comprises two replicas of the pretrained text-to-image model—a reference UNet dedicated to extracting visual features from reference images and a base UNet for the actual image generation process. The reference UNet processes reference images to collect the features before each Self-Attention (SA) layer of the reference UNet. The base UNet's SA layers are modified to “Reference Self-Attention” (RSA) layers that allow conditioning on extra features. Using the collected reference features as input, the base UNet equipped with the RSA layers estimates the noise in the input to guide the image generation towards the reference objects.

Abstract: Logical implication steering in a machine learning model. In some implementations, a machine learning model with a logical implication circuit installed receives a text-based version of a prompt. The text-based version of the prompt is tokenized in an input embedding layer of the machine learning model to generate a token-based version of the prompt.

This generation includes iteratively predictively selecting tokens for the token-based version of the response. The iteratively predictively selecting tokens comprises applying the logical implication circuit that, when a first vector is similar to a representation on an input to a linear mapping operation in the machine learning model, steers the generating toward a second vector. The token-based version of the response is converted to a text-based version of the response and output by the machine learning model.
