Abstract: This disclosure relates to a privacy preserving machine learning platform. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, from a client device and by a computing system of multiple multi-party computation (MPC) systems, a first request for user group identifiers that identify user groups to which to add a user. The first request includes a model identifier for a centroid model, first user profile data for a user profile of the user, and a threshold distance. For each user group in a set of user groups corresponding to the model identifier, a centroid for the user group that is determined using a centroid model corresponding to the model identifier is identified. The computing system determines a user group result based at least on the first user profile data, the centroids, and the threshold distance. The user group result is indicative of user group(s) to which to add the user.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, a computer-implemented method includes monitoring, over time, values for a service metric associated providing a computerized service over a communication network and evaluating, according to a statistical model, the values for the service metric to determine whether the values are anomalous values. The statistical model includes a predicted distribution of the values for the service metric and a normal value range within the predicted distribution of the values for the service metric. Anomalous values may be values for the service metric outside the normal value range. The method includes detecting a performance issue with the computerized service and determining, in response to detecting the performance issue, whether one or more of the values for the service metric are anomalous. The method includes automatically setting, in accordance with whether one or more of the values are anomalous, a value of a service level threshold for the service metric.

Abstract: A network path scoring system is disclosed herein that scores quality of network paths to facilitate identification of poorly performing network paths or circuits for investigation. The scoring system builds a profile of additional latencies of a network path binned by circuit load based on historical latency data for the network path. The additional latencies are determined with respect to a base latency of the network path. The network path scoring system determines a weighted average of the additional latencies of a subset of the load bins and a weighted average of expected latencies of the subset of load bins, and a score is calculated with these weighted averages.

Abstract: A system and a method for media streaming from multiple sources are disclosed. A content requesting client device accesses a server to receive a list of available sources that may include multiple Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) and independent servers. Based on a pre-set criteria, such as the source delivery performance and cost, the client device partitions the content into parts, allocates a source to each part, and simultaneously receives media streams of the content parts from the allocated sources. The server may be a Video-on-Demand (VOD) server, and the content may be a single file of a video data, such as a movie. The delivery performance of the used sources is measured during the streaming for updating the partition or the allocation. The updated measured performance may be stored locally at the client device, or at a server for use by other clients. The client actions may be implemented as a client-side script.

Abstract: A system and a method for assigning a money sign to a user. The system receives a request to identify a money sign for a user. Further, the system renders a set of questions. Furthermore, the system receives a set of answers from the user. Subsequently, the system extracts a key component from the set of answers received from the user. Further, the system scores the key component for the set of answers based on a scoring matrix and deep learning algorithms. Subsequently, the system compares a user score for each of the key component against a facet score for each of a set of predefined money signs. Further, the system generates a match score for each of a set of predefined money signs. Finally, the system assigns the money sign identified with a maximum match score to the user.

The messaging server system determines, based on an entity graph representing connections between a plurality of users registered with the messaging server system, that the first user is within a threshold degree of connection with a second that initiated a group story in relation to a specified event. The messaging server system determines, based on location data received from the first client device, that the first client device was located within a geo-fence surrounding a geographic location of the specified event during a predetermined event window, the geo-fence and event window having been designated by the second user, and causes the first client device to present a user interface element, that enables the first user to submit content to the group story.

Abstract: The disclosed techniques provide controlled delivery of stimulus notifications for promotion of user engagement of select users in communication sessions. A system delivers stimulus notifications targeting less-engaged attendees who is already in an event, such as a meeting. The stimulus notifications can be regarding happenings from different corners of the event that match the attendee's profile. For example, if the attendee has a profile that indicates they are interested in viewing their team members in an event where they are participating in an activity related to a predetermined sentiment, e.g., a positive sentiment such as performing a cheering gesture or generating specific emojis, the system will send that attendee stimulus notifications when that attendee has a low engagement level.

Abstract: Embodiments discussed herein refer to systems and methods for chatbot interactions. When chatbot derived interactions are detected, the system can prevent those interactions from being further processed. This can be performed by an analysis system operative to engage in a dialog with customers. The system can manage a dialog with a first customer and evaluate the dialog to determine whether any interactions or responses are associated with a chatbot or a human. Interactions or responses determined be associated with a chatbot are dropped and not permitted to be further processed by the analysis system.

Abstract: In an embodiment, operations include receiving first information associated with a first person and a first request of the first person to one or more institutions. A set of attributes of the first person is extracted and used to construct a causal model. The causal model represents causal relationships amongst attributes of the set of attributes. For the first person, a utility function associated with each of a plurality of AI models associated with the one or more institutions is determined. The utility function is determined based on the causal model, a first set of empathy criteria associated with the first person, and a second set of empathy criteria associated with each of the one or more institutions. For the utility function, optimin-point information is determined to reconcile a plurality of decisions taken by the plurality of AI models for the first request. The reconciled decision is rendered.
