Abstract: Technologies for grouping images, and ranking the images and the groupings, based on entities shown in the images. Images may be grouped based on faces shown in the images. Different images with faces that indicate the same entity (e.g., Adam) may be automatically grouped together. Different images with faces that indicate the same multiple entities (e.g., the people in my family) may also be automatically grouped together. Such automatic grouping may be based on facial recognition technologies. Further, images and groups of images may be automatically ranked based on the faces shown and entities represented. Such rankings may also be influenced by adjacent data that indicates family and friends and the like, and that can be used to identify such entities in the images.

Abstract: A system to identify optimal cloud resources for executing workloads. The system deduplicates historical client queries based on a workload selection configuration to determine a grouping of historical client queries. The system generates a workload based on at least a portion of the grouping of historical client queries. The system repeatedly executes a test run of the workload using resources of a cloud environment to determine whether there is a performance difference in the test run. The system, in response to determining that there is no performance difference, identifies one or more sets of decreased resources of the cloud environment. The system re-executes the test run using the one or more sets of decreased resources of the cloud environment to determine whether there is a performance difference in the test run that is attributed to the one or more sets of decreased resources of the cloud environment.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for feature release and workload capture in database systems are disclosed. The method includes determining a workload based on one or more client queries to be rerun to test a feature that is unreleased to one or more database clients. The method includes repeatedly executing a test run of the workload to determine a stability factor of the test run. The method includes re-executing, in response to determining the stability factor of the test run, the test run using resources with a different concurrency to confirm the stability factor of the test run. The method includes releasing the feature to the one or more database clients in response to confirming the stability factor of the test run.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for incremental feature development and workload capture in database systems are disclosed. The method includes determining a workload based on one or more client queries to be rerun for testing the feature release. The method further includes repeatedly executing a test run of the workload to identify whether there is a performance difference in the test run. The method further includes re-execute, in response to identifying the performance difference, the test run using resources with a different concurrency to identify whether the performance difference still exists. The method further includes flagging the performance difference as a false positive in response to identifying that the performance difference no longer exists when the test run is re-executed using the resources with different concurrency.

Abstract: A baseline run of a workload and a target run of the workload are compared to identify whether there is a performance regression in the target run, wherein the target run implements a feature that is not implemented in the baseline run. In response to identifying the performance regression, the target run is executed to identify whether the performance regression still exists. The performance regression is flagged as a false positive in response to identifying that the performance regression no longer exists when the target run is executed.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for incremental feature development and workload capture in database systems are disclosed. A method includes determining a workload having one or more historical client queries to be rerun for testing the feature, wherein the feature comprises procedural logic.

The method further includes comparing the baseline run and the target run to identify whether there is a performance regression in the target run. The method further includes, in response to identifying the performance regression, rerunning the target run to identify whether the performance regression still exists.

Abstract: Provided are methods, systems, and devices for generating semantic objects and an output based on the detection or recognition of the state of an environment that includes objects. State data, based in part on sensor output, can be received from one or more sensors that detect a state of an environment including objects. Based in part on the state data, semantic objects are generated. The semantic objects can correspond to the objects and include a set of attributes. Based in part on the set of attributes of the semantic objects, one or more operating modes, associated with the semantic objects can be determined. Based in part on the one or more operating modes, object outputs associated with the semantic objects can be generated. The object outputs can include one or more visual indications or one or more audio indications.

Abstract: A device for interfacing coatings, the device comprising at least one well each comprising an elastomeric bottom surface. At least one slit is formed on the elastomeric bottom surface. At least one removable divider is removably inserted into the at least one slit, whereby at least one gap is created and the at least one well is divided into at least two compartments. A designated coating is lined on the elastomeric bottom surface of each of the at least two compartments. Removal of the at least one removable divider then causes the at least one gap to close, allowing for the designated coatings lined on the elastomeric bottom surface of each of the at least two compartments to interface with each other.

Abstract: An improved method, system, and computer program product is disclosed that provides a hybrid approach to optimization which allows different subsets of data accessed by a query to be optimized with different access paths and execution approaches. Transformations may be performed to re-write the query, which restructures the query in a way that facilitates the hybrid optimization process. Multiple transformations may be interleaved to produce an efficient re-written query.
