  • Patent number: 11444845
    Abstract: A machine learning-based service processes requests using compressed and complete models to provide faster response times for servicing requests to process data. Initially, a host processes data using a compressed model that is stored in the host's memory and then switches to a larger, more accurate complete model after it is loaded into the host's memory. A host of the machine-learning based service may receive one or more requests to process data. In response, the host uses a compressed version of a model to begin processing the data. The host starts loading the complete version of the model into the host's memory. When the complete version of the model is loaded into memory, the host switches to process a remaining portion of the data using the complete version of the model.

  • Patent number: 11405478
    Abstract: A redirection of a URL page request may be performed by monitoring an upstream path from a subscriber to the internet through an ISP. When a URL page request is detected from a subscriber for whom a redirection is required, a redirection device generates a single TCP packet response that mimics a response from the intended destination server. The single TCP packet includes a set FIN bit that closes any active session with the destination server to prevent the subscriber from accepting packets from the destination server.

  • Patent number: 11381536
    Abstract: A document system tracks activity within comment threads associated with portions of a stored document. When activity is detected within the document, the document system generates a corresponding notification for display by a client device within a notification interface. The notification interface displays one or more notifications, each associated with activity in documents stored by the document system, and orders the notifications by document, by date, by filter, or any other suitable factor. The user may assign a priority to each document or folder such that notifications associated with documents or folders with a higher priority are displayed before those associated with a lower priority. The notifications may include portions of comment threads, and a user can reply to a comment thread via a response element of the notification interface. The user's reply is incorporated into the comment thread and stored by the document system.

  • Patent number: 11356537
    Abstract: A connected-device network can continually learn from abstract sensory data (e.g., speech processing, cognitive inference, and/or computer vision image segmentation) and can generate never-seen-before data in real time. In one aspect, the network devices extract important correlations in the sensor data based on network data collected at different time slice and/or locations. Further, underlying relationships in a set of data can be detected as the sensor data transverses through different layers of the network. Moreover, the network devices can provide logic in different layers to help classify the sensor data early in the detection process (e.g., instead of waiting for it to reach its final destination).

  • Patent number: 11321082
    Abstract: In some implementations, a system causes electronic devices to initiate different types of interactions with users of the electronic devices, the interactions being initiated based on rules to selectively cause initiation of the interactions for the users. The system receives user action data from electronic devices that are associated with a particular program. The system generates log data that tracks instances in which conditions or triggers of the rules of the particular program are satisfied. Based on the user action data of the multiple users and the log data, the system evaluates effectiveness of the rules in maintaining or improving engagement of the users with the particular program. The system generates rule adjustment information for the particular program, such as information indicating one or more changes to the rules of the particular program or one or more new rules for initiating interactions.
