Abstract: Digital image search training techniques and machine-learning architectures are described. In one example, a query digital image is received by service provider system, which is then used to select at least one positive sample digital image, e.g., having a same product ID.

The at least one positive sample digital image and the plurality of negative samples are then aggregated by the service provider system into a single aggregated digital image. At least one neural network is then trained by the service provider system using a loss function based on a feature comparison between the query digital image and samples from the aggregated digital image in a single pass.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for identifying bogon addresses. A system can obtain an indication of address spaces in a network. The indication can be based on route advertisements transmitted by routers associated with the network. The system can receive a report generated by a capturing agent deployed on a host. The report can identify a flow captured by the capturing agent at the host. The system can identify a network address associated with the flow and, based on the indication of address spaces, the system can determine whether the network address is within the address spaces in the network. When the network address is not within the address spaces in the network, the system can determine that the network address is a bogon address. When the network address is within the address spaces in the network, the system can determine that the network address is not a bogon address.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, to communicate discovery information regarding multiple basic service sets (BSSs) hosted at an apparatus. A group of BSSs having related basic service set identifiers (BSSIDs) may form a Multiple BSSID set. A first BSS may be referred to as having a transmitted BSSID (TxBSSID), while one or more other BSSs of the Multiple BSSID set may be referred to as having non-transmitted BSSIDs (NonTxBSSIDs).

For example, the discovery information may be included in a fast-initial link setup (FILS) discovery (FD) frame that is sent between normal beacon times. This disclosure describes several ways to modify the FD frame to accommodate sending the discovery information for the Multiple BSSID set.
