Abstract: As the quality and quantity of shared video content increases, video encoding standards and techniques are being developed and improved to reduce bandwidth consumption over telecommunication and other networks. One technique to reduce bandwidth consumption is intra-prediction, which exploits spatial redundancies within video frames. Each video frame may be segmented into blocks, and intra-prediction may be applied to the blocks. However, intra-prediction of some blocks may rely upon the completion (e.g., reconstruction) of other blocks, which can make parallel processing challenging. Provided are exemplary techniques for improving the efficiency and throughput associated with the intra-prediction of multiple blocks.

Abstract: Threat intelligence management is provided in a security and compliance environment. A threat explorer platform or module of a security and compliance service may detect, investigate, manage, and provide actionable insights for threats at an organizational level. Working with a data insights platform that collects different types of signals (metadata, documents, activities, etc.) and correlates in a multi-stage evaluation, the threat intelligence module may provide actionable visual information on potential threats, affected areas, and actionable insights derived from internal threat data and external information using contextual correlation of data within the data insight platform. User experience may be dynamically adjusted at multiple levels based on context and allow users to drill down arbitrarily deep.

Abstract: Techniques are described for performing transformation on video data. A transform circuit may receive M sample values of the video data from a pre-transform buffer, and process the M sample values with N computation units of the transform circuit to generate intermediate values. Processing the M sample values to generate the intermediate values includes feeding back temporary values from output of one or more of the N computation units to input of one or more of the N computation units. The transform circuit may store a first set of the intermediate values in a transpose buffer, and store a second set of the intermediate values in the pre-transform buffer that are to be later retrieved for storage in the transpose buffer.

Abstract: Techniques to select and prioritize the application of spam filtering rules in a way that reduces processing time may include receiving an email message for a recipient at a spam filter and extracting email characteristics from the message. Global filtering rule statistics and a profile for the recipient may be retrieved. The technique may include selecting a subset of rules from a set of filtering rules according to the email characteristics, the global filtering rule statistics, and/or the recipient characteristics. The subset of rules may be prioritized and applied to the message from highest priority to lowest until a determination of whether the message is spam is reached. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: As the quality and quantity of shared video content increases, video encoding standards and techniques are being developed and improved to reduce bandwidth consumption over telecommunication and other networks. One such technique for compressing videos involves transforming image data into an alternate, encoding-friendly domain (e.g., by a two-dimensional discrete cosine transform). Transform modules may be implemented to perform these transformations, which may occur during both video encoding and decoding processes. Provided are exemplary techniques for improving the efficiency and performance of transform module implementations.

Abstract: In an example, a classification engine compares two binary objects to determine whether they can be classified as belonging to a common family. As an example application, the classification engine may be used to detect malware objects derived from a common ancestor. To classify the object, the binary is disassembled and the resulting assembly code is normalized. Known “clean” functions, such as compiler-generated library code, are filtered out. Normalized blocks of assembly code may then be characterized, such as by forming N-grams, and checksumming each N-gram. These may be compared to known malware routines.
