Abstract: Provided are techniques for enhancing silent features with adversarial networks for improved model versions. Input features are obtained. Hidden features are identified. Quantum feature importance scoring is performed to assign an importance score to each of the hidden features. Silent features are identified as the hidden features with the importance score below a first threshold. Important features are identified as the input features and as the hidden features with the importance score above a second threshold. A silent feature model is built using the silent features. An important feature model is built using the important features. An ensemble model is built with the silent feature model and the important feature model. The ensemble model is used to generate one or more predictions and one or more prescriptions.

Abstract: A digital content messaging system includes one or more media sources, a beacon (either physical or virtual), a user's smart device bound to a media device using a wallet Pass, a media device, and a processing device. The user's smart device is configured for storing a unique wallet Pass. The user's smart device is also for detecting when a user is in physical proximity of the media device, and for receiving messages from a messaging system through the stored wallet Pass. The media device is for detecting a channel that the user has selected; transmitting the channel information to a server; and receiving the media from the media sources. The processing device extracts key values from the media; matches key values from the media to a key value associated with a merchant offer; and transmits a URL of a merchant offer to the user's smart device.

Abstract: A diagnostics collection script is included in a container image. When an original instance of the container fails, a new instance of the container is started using the container image using a Docker compose YAML file having the diagnostics collection script as an entrypoint. The diagnostics collection script is configured to collect the logs of the original (now failed) container during the container start operation. In this manner, the container is able to be started in a safe mode and is isolated to only run the diagnostics collection script without disturbing the container's original settings. By recreating the exact environment of the failed container, and running diagnostics on the environment, it is possible to obtain the log files from the original container as well as to implement diagnostic operations on the environment of the original container, which can then be used to help diagnose why the original container failed.

Abstract: In aspects of display photo update recommendations, a catalyst is identified for updating a display photo of a user on a social media website. Further, a first collection of photos that are associated with the catalyst are retrieved from a photo gallery maintained in memory of a computing device. Using a machine learning model trained on a second collection of display photos utilized by connections of the user on the social media website, one or criteria are determined for display photos. Moreover, candidate display photos that satisfy the one or more criteria are identified from the first collection of photos and output to the photo gallery.

Abstract: In aspects of variable concurrent access to content of a device by multiple devices, content of a primary device is detected as being accessed concurrently by a primary user via the primary device and by a secondary user via a secondary device communicatively coupled to the primary device. Unrestricted access to the content of the primary device is provided to the primary device and restricted access to the content of the primary device is provided to the secondary device. The restricted access prevents the secondary user from accessing a subset of the content of the primary device. A first portion of the content of the primary device is output via the primary device. Further, a second portion of the content of the primary device is caused to be output by the secondary device while the primary device outputs the first portion of the content.

Personalized content is then generated by incorporating the representation of the one or more individuals into the scene, and the personalized content is output for display. The personalized content is further usable to generate a personalized itinerary for a user.

Abstract: Techniques for digital content capture recommendations are described and are implementable to generate a recommendation for a digital content capture at a particular location based on capture data stored in a database. The described implementations enable generation of a recommendation including a suggested location, time of day, date, and/or various device configuration settings to capture an instance of digital content such as a photograph. For instance, a request for a recommendation for a digital content capture at a particular location is received. A database including capture data associated with digital content captured at the particular location is accessed, and the recommendation is generated based on the capture data. The recommendation is then displayed in a user interface of a client device.

Abstract: An electronic device, a method, and a computer program product provides freeze frame videos in place of a live video feed or a low-quality video feed to a video communication session. The electronic device hosts the video communication session between a first participant device and second participant devices. The electronic device receives, from the first participant device, a first video feed of a first participant to the video communication session. The electronic device determines a video segment of the received first video feed to identify as the first freeze frame video, generates the first freeze frame video from the video segment, and stores the first freeze frame video within a server repository. In response to a trigger condition, the electronic device temporarily presents to the video communication session the first freeze frame video in place of the first video feed as video content from the first participant device.

A processor of the electronic device determines that a local participant is connected via the electronic device to an ongoing video communication session with second participants having corresponding second participant devices. The processor captures, via an image capturing device, local video encompassing the local participant. The processor determines a video segment of the local video to identify as a freeze frame video. The processor presents the freeze frame video to the video communication session in response to a trigger condition that pauses a presentation of live video feed of the local participant to the video communication session. The processor loops the presentation of the freeze frame video until an expiration of a threshold maximum time established for presenting the freeze frame video.
