  • Patent number: 12353548
    Abstract: A method, system, server, and software application provide verification of file integrity. Embodiments include determining for a byte array representing a file, whether a size of the file is larger than a threshold size value. A first predetermined section of the byte array, a second predetermined, and a third random section of the byte array is selected. A first hashing of the file is performed. A first hash value is generated of the first and second predetermined sections of the byte array and the third random section of the byte array. A second hashing of the file is performed to determine whether a second hash value that matches the first hash value.

  • Patent number: 12141536
    Abstract: Techniques for chatbot utterance routing in a provider network include jointly training a service classifier and a plurality of auxiliary classifiers based on a mixed service set of labeled chatbot utterance training examples to yield a trained service classifier. When a particular chatbot user utterance is received, the trained service classifier can be used to determine if the utterance is in-scope or out-of-scope, and if in-scope, to determine which service of a set of services in the provider network to which to route the utterance for further processing. By jointly training the service classifier with the auxiliary classifiers, the accuracy of the in-scope/out-of-scope determination by the trained service classifier is improved as well as its accuracy in routing the utterance to the appropriate service for processing the utterance as intended by the user.
