Abstract: Described herein is a method of determining a current location speed-limit in a road-vehicle (1) speed-limit information system (2). One or more signals (3, 4) corresponding to respective candidate speed-limits for the current location are received. A parametrized heuristic algorithm with an associated cost function is applied (7) to decide which candidate speed-limit (3, 4), if any, that is applicable. If available for the current location, a cloud service (8) supplied estimated true speed-limit (9) and an associated confidence in this estimate is received. An online learning or a reinforcement learning method is used to, based on the cloud service (8) supplied estimated true speed-limit (9) and the associated confidence in that estimate, constantly fit (10) the heuristic's parametrization to, with a high confidence, reproduce the cloud service (8) supplied estimated true speed-limit (9). A speed-limit information signal (11) corresponding to the decision of the parametrized heuristic algorithm is output.

Abstract: Techniques for distributing the training of machine learning models across a plurality of computing devices are presented. An example method includes receiving, from a computing device in a distributed computing environment, a request for a set of outstanding jobs for training part of a machine learning model.

Abstract: Visual content to be displayed on a display of a user device is received. Obfuscation data for obscuring the visual content is generated and the obscured visual content is displayed on the display. A request to stop obscuring the visual content is transmitted from the user device to a remote device, in response to a drag gesture detected at the user device. As the drag gesture is performed, the obfuscation data is modified to reduce a level of obfuscation applied to the visual content before the request has been accepted, so that the visual content remains obscured but with a lower level of obfuscation. If the request is subsequently accepted at the remote device, the display is controlled to stop obscuring the visual content, thereby rendering the visual content fully visible on the display.

Abstract: A computing system obtains a document that is to be shared between a first user and a second user. A first computing device of the first user displays a first local copy of the document. A second computing device of the second user displays a second local copy of the document. While a first view of the document corresponding to a state of the first local copy is being presented, the computing system receives an indication that the second user is to assume control of presentation of the document from the first user. The computing system receives state data from the second computing device that is indicative of a second view of the document corresponding to the second local copy. Based upon the state data, the computing system causes a state of the first local copy of the content to be updated to present the second view.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a web content management system is coupled to remote resources via a framework that has one or more corresponding adapters which enable editing of content by invoking editors which are native to the respective remote resources. The system retrieves a content item from a remote resource and stores a copy of the content item in a local repository, while the original content item remains in the repository of the remote resource. A content item can be selected in in a local authoring tool, causing the system to examine the content item's metadata to identify the source repository and invoke the native editor of the corresponding remote resource, enabling editing of the content item using the native editor. The copy of the content item in the local repository can then be synchronized to the edited version of the content item in the remote resource.

Abstract: When a request for accessing a service is received, a user object may be stored in a long-term data store, as well as in a short-term cache. The cache may be divided into a regular cache that stores full versions of the user objects, and a surrogate cache that stores compact versions of the user object. The compact version of the user object may include a field that is derived from the full user object indicating whether a subsequent request for access to a particular service should be granted. After access is granted/denied based on this value in the compact user object, the system can process an update to the full user object offline. This surrogate cache structure may be used to rapidly approve/deny requests, decoupling this procedure from the processing involved with a full user object.

Abstract: At least some embodiments are directed to a system that receives from an online portal loaded in a computing device, a user request to instantiate a server cluster in a hybrid computer network. The system authenticates and redirects the user request via a proxy service to a selected computer network configured in the hybrid computer network. The system instantiates the server cluster in the selected computer network causing the server cluster to initiate a microservice agent during bootup. The system sends a command to the server cluster to initiate the execution of a process and receives from the microservice agent event data associated with the process. The system inputs the event data into a trained machine learning model to determine a first execution state of the process and sends a command to change the first execution state of the process to a second execution state.
