Abstract: In some implementations, an olfaction system may receive partition coefficients associated with one or more molecules detected in a headspace of a sample captured from an environment. The olfaction system may generate a quantum-ready dataset based on the partition coefficients using a partial quantum autoencoder that includes one or more quantum gate layers. The olfaction system may use a quantum approximate optimization algorithm to identify, within a spectrum of potential smells simulated by a quantum circuit, a set of smells emitted by the sample based on the quantum-ready dataset. The olfaction system may map a set of objects to the set of smells emitted by the sample. The olfaction system may predict a future state associated with the set of smells emitted by the sample using one or more hybrid quantum machine learning models.

Abstract: Features are disclosed for dynamically provisioning an application stack using a set of infrastructure resources. A computing device can receive an infrastructure template from an administrative device. Based on the infrastructure template, the computing device can determine a schema and an infrastructure as code. Using the schema, the computing device can receive a specification file from a developer device or an administrative device. The specification file can be a service specification file or an environment specification file. The computing device can inject the values of the specification file into the infrastructure as code. The computing device can use the injected infrastructure as code to generate and deploy the application stack to the developer device.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for voice enabled assistant for community demand fulfillment are described herein. A community of user devices may be identified that are registered with a voice-based supply and demand matching service. A supply of an item may be determined based on first user audio collected from a first user device of the community of user devices. A demand for the item may be determined based on second user audio collected from a second user device of the community of user devices. An indication of the supply may be transmitted to a user of the second user device.

Abstract: An apparatus (300) for processing data comprises a plurality of memory access request sources (102,104) which generate memory access requests. Each of the memory access request sources has a local memory (106,108), and the apparatus also includes a shared memory (110). When the memory access requests are atomic memory access requests, contention may arise over common data. When this occurs, the present technique triggers a switch of processing data in the local memory of a memory access request source to processing data in the shared memory.

Abstract: A system for collecting property status information from a property for a virtual appraisal receives the property status information from a plurality of devices positioned about the property, stores the property status information in a database, and assesses the property status information to create the virtual appraisal for the property.

Abstract: A financial institution computing system includes a network interface structured to communicate data over a network, a user database configured to store information to a plurality of users, and a processing circuit comprising a processor and a memory. The memory is structured to store instructions that are executable by the processor and cause the processor to retrieve a user transaction history associated with the user payment account from the user database, determine a baseline level of user spending based on the user transaction history, receive, by the network interface, user activity information pertaining to the user, determine that the received user activity information is indicative of a predetermined level of user spending relative to a baseline level of user spending, and transmit, by the network interface, an alert to a user computing device associated with the user responsive to the determination.
