Abstract: A computer-implemented framework and/or system for cyberbullying detection is disclosed. The system includes two main components: (1) A representation learning network that encodes the social media session by exploiting multi-modal features, e.g., text, network, and time; and (2) a multi-task learning network that simultaneously fits the comment inter-arrival times and estimates the bullying likelihood based on a Gaussian Mixture Model. The system jointly optimizes the parameters of both components to overcome the shortcomings of decoupled training. The system includes an unsupervised cyberbullying detection model that not only experimentally outperforms the state-of-the-art unsupervised models, but also achieves competitive performance compared to supervised models.

Abstract: Computer technology for performing a download of a set of file(s) by multiple computer devices. Different computer devices respectively download different parts of the set of files and respectively encapsulate them with file wrappers to create multiple “sealed off portions.” Each sealed off portion indicates what portion of the code of the set of file(s) is in that sealed off portion. The multiple sealed off portions are transferred (for example, over a local area network) to another computer device, which may, or may not, be one of the multiple computers that created one of the sealed off portions, and this computer device assembles the sealed off portions to re-create the set of file(s).

Abstract: Techniques for providing recommendations of actions for a user to perform to improve efficiency in user interactions with a user interface of a user computing device. An intelligent monitoring (IM) computing system may receive data from a user computing device and may determine user interactions associated with the user interface. The user interactions may include selections, an order associated with the selections, times associated with the selections, and/or other data corresponding to user interaction with a user interface. The IM computing device may be configured to determine a fault (e.g., inefficiency) associated with the user interactions and determine an action for the user to perform to correct the fault. The IM computing device may cause a notification including the action to surface on a display of the user computing device, such as to inform the user of a means by which they can improve efficiency of the user interactions.

Abstract: A cloud tracking system may store configuration data separately for each account of multiple accounts that an entity has with a cloud computing provider and may aggregate the configuration data into a data structure that stores the configuration data together for the multiple accounts. The cloud tracking system may receive a request that includes a user identifier of a user associated with the entity and may search for the user identifier in the data structure. The cloud tracking system may identify a set of deployed cloud computing services associated with the user identifier based on searching for the user identifier in the data structure, wherein the set of deployed cloud computing services is associated with more than one account of the multiple accounts. The cloud tracking system may identify one or more deployed cloud computing services, of the set of deployed cloud computing services, that are outdated.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for WAN (wide area network) optimization for a WAN that connects multiple sites, each of which has at least one router. At a gateway router deployed to a public cloud, the method receives from at least two routers at least two sites, multiple data streams destined for a particular centralized datacenter. The method performs a WAN optimization operation to aggregate the multiple streams into one outbound stream that is WAN optimized for forwarding to the particular centralized datacenter. The method then forwards the WAN-optimized data stream to the particular centralized datacenter.

Abstract: A central database system provides predictive web navigation using machine learning and clustering to guide a user to a web page. After tracking a number of web pages viewed by various users on one or more web domains and the orders in which these web pages are viewed, the central database system can train a model to predict which web page a user is likely to view next. If the user is lost while navigating, the central database system may guide the user to the predicted web page. In one example of guidance, the central database system presents a web element with a hyperlink to the predicted web page. For example, the central database system can modify a web page that the lost user is presently viewing to include an iframe with a recommendation to travel to a different web page.

Abstract: Cloud services are provided by a distributed network including a number of geographically distributed datacenters, to client devices in accordance with data sovereignty requirements. A server within the distributed network may receive a service request and determine whether it complies with the data sovereignty requirements of the client. When the geographic location of the server does not comply with the client's data sovereignty requirements, the server may determine and transmit back to the client device a set of alternative datacenters within the distributed network that comply with the client's data sovereignty requirements. The client device may use network probes to select an alternative datacenter, and the cloud service request of the client device may be migrated from the server to the selected datacenter.
