Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to improving machine learning (ML) model-based techniques for automatically labeling data items based on identifying and resolving labels that are problematic. An ML model may be trained to predict labels for any given data item. The ML model may be validated to determine a confusion metric with respect to each distinct pair of labels predicted by the ML model. Each confusion metric indicates how a particular label is being mistaken for another particular label. The confusion metrics are analyzed to determine whether any of the ML model-generated labels are problematic (e.g., a label conflicts with another label, a label that is rarely predicted, a label that is incorrectly predicted, etc.). Steps for resolving the problematic labels are implemented, and the ML model is retrained based on the resolution steps. By doing so, the ML model generates a more accurate label for a data item.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic and digital building block system includes modular electronic building modules that can be electrically coupled together to create various different electronic devices. In addition to physical electronic modules, the system can include digital building blocks to further enhance and integrate the functions of an assembled bit-system that can be created/assembled by a user of the block electronic building system. The digital building blocks are not a physical module, but digital content or other software or cloud applications that can be represented as virtual digital blocks, and that can interface with the physical modules. The digital blocks can provide integration between the functionality of the physical building blocks and functionality of computer-based and/or web-based applications, programs and systems. The electronic and digital building block system can include a system program and a visualizer that can be viewed on the display of a computer device.

Abstract: The endoscopic device includes a main member having a front slot and a shaft member having a spiral strip selectively running through the slot. The spiral strip is connected to a rotational element whose front end is provided with an optical element. A camera support element is extended from the main member and a camera element is supported by the camera support element. By running the spiral strip through the slot to turn the rotational element and the optical element, a viewing direction of the camera element is altered by the optical element.

Abstract: Methods and systems provide for dynamically altering notification preferences within a communication platform. The system receives one or more future events and one or more past events associated with a user of a communication platform; a notification associated with a future event; and a user behavioral profile associated with the user. The system determines whether one of the future events coincides with the notification time for the notification. The system then deploys an artificial intelligence (AI) model to analyze the user behavioral profile with respect to the event notifications at the notification time, the one or more past events, and any coinciding future events, and provide, based on the analysis, a prediction score for whether notification preferences associated with the notification should be altered for the user at the notification time. Finally, the system alters the notification preferences if the prediction score meets or exceeds an alteration threshold.

The synchronizer is configured to block and allow release of a number of latches of the vehicle such that some latches are blocked from being released if other latches are already released. The lock unit is configured to block selectively the release of the number of latches.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a method for tracking influence of a user on content shared via encoded uniform resource locator (URL) links. Measuring influence of a user may identify what level of engagement the user drives to content when the user shares content with other users, such as via encoded links. A high influencer may be a user who drives a high level of engagement with content when the user shares content. A low influencer may be a user who does not drive a high level of engagement, or otherwise drives a low level of engagement with content when the user shares content. The method may include receiving, by a server, identification of a user for each of a plurality of encoded uniform resource locator (URL) links. The server may identify a plurality of keywords from content identified by each encoded URL link. The server may determine a number of actions via a plurality of users that decoded each encoded URL link of the plurality of encoded URL links of the user.

Abstract: A heuristics-based concurrent edit detector (“ConE”) can notify collaborators about potential conflicts that may be caused by edits made by other collaborators. ConE may compare concurrent edits submitted by collaborators, calculate the extent of overlap between two sets of edits, apply one or more filters to balance recall versus precision, and decide whether to alert the collaborators about candidate potential conflicts. ConE may be light-weight and easily scalable to work in a very large environment with numerous collaborators.

Abstract: A network controller is configured to cause a network to implement a primary network configuration of a network and a secondary network configuration as a backup to the primary network configuration. The network controller may be configured to receive information from a plurality of nodes of a network and information related to the client data to be transmitted through the network. Based on the node information, the network controller is configured to determine available nodes and possible links in the network and then determine a topology of the network. The primary network configuration is determined based on the topology. The network controller then sends instructions to the plurality of nodes of the network to implement the primary network configuration and to switch to a secondary network configuration where a failure of the primary network configuration occurs, wherein the secondary network configuration implements mobile ad-hoc networking in the determined topology.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software for inter-PLMN communications. In one embodiment, a roaming hub receives a message from a sending entity across an N32 interface, and determines whether the message includes an HTTP custom header that indicates a PLMN that is validated. When the message as received does not include the HTTP custom header, the roaming hub adds the HTTP custom header to the message that indicates the PLMN of the sending entity, integrity protects the HTTP custom header, and forwards the message toward a receiving entity.

Next, the element accepts, as a network management protocol server, a connection via the cryptographic network protocol connection from the controller as network management protocol client.
