Abstract: In one embodiment, a network assurance service that monitors a network detects anomalies in the network by applying one or more machine learning models to telemetry data from the network. The network assurance service ranks feedback from a plurality of anomaly rankers regarding relevancy or criticality of the detected anomalies. The network assurance service clusters the plurality of anomaly rankers into clusters of similar rankers, based on the received ranking feedback. The network assurance service uses the clusters of similar rankers to assign reliability scores to each of the anomaly rankers. The network assurance service selects, based on the reliability scores, a subset of the plurality of anomaly rankers to receive an anomaly detection alert regarding a particular detected anomaly to be ranked. The network assurance service provides the anomaly detection alert to the selected subset of the plurality of anomaly rankers for ranking.

Abstract: A computing device detects a first playback condition indicating a presence of a user in a zone in a media playback system. The computing device determines a second playback condition that corresponds to the detected presence of the user in the zone. Characteristics of at least one audio track are compared to (i) the indication of the presence of the user in the zone and (ii) the second playback condition. Audio content is identified based on the comparison and the identified audio content is played in the zone.

Abstract: Methods for accelerated code injection detection using operating system controlled memory attributes are performed by systems and apparatuses. The methods optimize search operations for memory segments in system and virtual memories by searching for segment attributes. A set of memory segments is determined wherein each memory segment in the set includes specific attributes. The memory segments in the set are ranked for a threat level based on segment attribute. The threat level is used to determine subsequent actions including providing indications of the memory segments in the set and initiating execution of an anti-malware application. Relevant segment attributes used for the segment search can be dynamically updated in an attribute list. Segment attributes of a segment can be determined by accessing a memory manager of an operating system via an API.

Abstract: An endpoint system provides a REST endpoint for an application. The endpoint system processes request messages based on message pair data for each message that includes an operation and parameter data. The parameter data includes parameter information for each parameter that identifies whether the value for the parameter is to be taken from the URI or payload of a request message. The endpoint system receives request messages that have a URI and payload. The URI includes an operation name. The endpoint system processes each request message in accordance with the message pair data for the operation specified in the request message. For each parameter of the message pair data, the endpoint system extracts the value for the parameter from either the URI or payload as specified by the parameter information for the parameter. The endpoint system then invokes the operation passing the one or more extracted values as actual parameters.
