Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for optimizing computing resources generally associated with cloud-based media services. Instead of decoding digital assets on-premises to stream to a remote client device, an encoded asset can be streamed to the remote client device. A codebook employable for decoding the encoded asset can be embedded into the stream transmitted to the remote client device, so that the remote client device can extract the embedded codebook, and employ the extracted codebook to decode the encoded asset locally. In this way, not only are processing resources associated with on-premises decoding eliminated, but on-premises storage of codebooks can be significantly reduced, while expensive bandwidth is freed up by virtue of transmitting a smaller quantity of data from the cloud to the remote client device.

Abstract: A system, method, and memory for handling real-time transactional events is disclosed. The exemplary system a processor to detect and add an event to a queue and identify an associated event type. Event types can require downstream processing by at least one provider. The processor decomposes the event into tasks by comparison to event types which associate downstream provider requirements to tasks and routes. One or more routes are assigned to the tasks, each route defined by at least one processor of a plurality of processors. One or more routes are defined by transmitting a request for downstream processing to the at least one provider. The processor, upon detecting incomplete performance of the one or more routes, either updates the tasks associated with the incomplete route, or marks the event associated with the route as incomplete in the queue.

Abstract: In some examples, human centered computing based digital persona generation may include generating, for a digital persona that is to be generated for a target person, synthetic video files and synthetic audio files that are combined to generate synthetic media files. The digital persona may be generated based on a synthetic media file. An inquiry may be received from a user of the generated digital persona. Another synthetic media file may be used by the digital persona to respond to the inquiry. A real-time emotion of the user may be analyzed based on a text sentiment associated with the inquiry, and a voice sentiment and a facial expression associated with the user. Based on the real-time emotion of the user, a further synthetic media file may be utilized by the digital persona to continue or modify a conversation between the generated digital persona and the user.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a detailed description of techniques used in systems, methods, and in computer program products for dynamic aggregate generation and updating for high performance querying of large datasets. Certain embodiments are directed to technological solutions for determining at least one aggregate of selected virtual cube attributes (e.g., measures, dimensions, etc.) describing a virtual multidimensional data model of a subject database, and generating an aggregate table and a set of aggregate metadata for the aggregate. In some embodiments, an aggregate database statement configured to operate on the subject database can be issued to generate the aggregate table and/or aggregate metadata. Further, the aggregate can be dynamically determined responsive to receiving a database statement configured to operate on the virtual multidimensional data model representing the subject database.

Abstract: There is provided a system configured to appropriately determine a topic count in accordance with LDA to estimate latent meanings of a document. For a plurality of documents d, a perplexity PPL of each document d is evaluated in accordance with a document generation probability in which the document d is generated when topic counts N for defining a topic model based on the LDA as a document generation model are hypothetically specified as different values and word groups are specified by different random numbers. The topic model is defined by a reference topic count No determined by combining a first topic count N1 (the number of topics indicating a highest cumulative frequency at which the perplexity PPL first indicates a minimum value) and a second topic count N2 (the number of topics indicating a highest cumulative frequency at which the perplexity PPL indicates a smallest value).

Abstract: A system according to certain aspects improves the process of performing snapshot replication operations (e.g., maintaining a mirror copy of primary data at a secondary location by generating snapshots of the primary data). The system can collect and maintain cumulative block-level changes to the primary data after each sub-interval of a plurality of sub-intervals between the snapshots. When a snapshot is generated, any changes to the primary data not reflected in the cumulative block-level changes are identified based on the snapshot and transmitted to the secondary location along with the cumulative block-level changes. By the time the snapshot is generated, some or all of the changes to the primary data associated with the given snapshot have already been included in the cumulative block-level changes, thereby reducing the time and computing resources spent to identify and collect the changes for transmission to the secondary location.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for deployment of container-based computer environments. In some implementations, one or more computers provide data for a user interface comprising one or more user interface elements for initiating creation of a new container-based server environment. The one or more computers receive data indicating user interaction with the one or more user interface elements, and in response, create a new container-based server environment comprising multiple different containers hosted by a remote cluster of processing nodes, the multiple different containers being configured to provide different services that interoperate with each other. The one or more computers provide access to the new container-based server environment.

Abstract: Methods and systems for analyzing, ordering and presenting item listings are described. In one example embodiment, a search query is processed to identify item listings satisfying the search query. Then, for each item listing that satisfies the search query, a ranking score is derived and assigned to the item listing. The ranking score is based in part on a relevance score, a listing quality score and a business rules score (or, adjustment factor). Finally, the item listings are ordered, based on their corresponding ranking score, and presented in order in a search results page.

The modular implementation of the universal-query adapter facilitates both implementation of the universal-query adapter as well as scalability of the universal-query adapter, allowing new and newly discovered management applications and/or services to be easily included in the set of target management applications and/or services for query execution.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for managing dependencies in an orchestration service. A computer-implemented method can include operations performed by a declarative infrastructure provisioner (DIP). In some embodiments, the DIP parses configuration data associated with a computing system and generates a directed acyclic graph (DAG) for booting a first resource. The DAG may specify a dependency of the first resource on a capability of a second resource. The DIP may traverse the DAG and determine, based at least in part on the traversal, that the dependency has been reached. The DIP may publish, to a scheduling process, an indication that the first resource is awaiting availability of the capability of the second resource. In some embodiments, the DIP receives a subsequent indication that the capability is available, regenerates the DAG, and recommences traversal of the DAG. Additional operations for booting the first resource may be performed in accordance with the recommenced traversal.
