Abstract: In various examples, as a user is speaking or presenting content during an online video conference, the data stream may be processed to generate a textual representation (e.g., transcript) of the audio and/or information relating to the video. The textual representation and/or video related information may then be processed to determine a context or one or more topic(s) of discussion. Based on the determined context/topic(s), a corresponding neural network(s) may be selected. Once a neural network has been selected, comments may be retrieved from a chat feature of the application and applied to the neural network. The neural network may then output data to indicate the relevance of the comments to the determined discussion topic. Based on the relevance of the comment, the comment may be allowed, prioritized, deleted, de-emphasized, or otherwise filtered in the chat feature.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating real-time synthetic crowd responses for events, to augment the experience of event participants, remote viewers, and the like. Various sensors monitor the event in question, and various event properties are derived from their output using an event state model. These event properties, along with various event parameters such as score, time remaining, etc., are then input to a machine learning model that determines a real-time synthetic audience reaction tailored to the immediate state of the event. Reaction parameters are used to generate a corresponding crowd or audience audio signal, which may be broadcast to event participants, viewers, spectators, or anyone who may be interested. This instantaneous, realistic crowd reaction more closely simulates the experience of events with full on-site audiences, enhancing the viewing experience of both event participants and those watching.

Abstract: Verified deliveries are commonplace for various exchanges of goods, packages, and/or other items, but often require close proximity or contact between the exchanging parties or devices associated therewith—e.g., for digital or physical signature. To remedy this, system and methods described herein may leverage an ad hoc network established between a device of a provider and a device of a consumer for exchanging codes or tokens—that may be validated by an authentication service—to provide a verification process during an exchange between the parties. As a result, a safe distance may be maintained between the parties throughout the transaction—thereby avoiding exchange of germs while also increasing safety and security of both parties—and the verification process may be more reliable and secure.

Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for reliable transmission of time-sensitive data. In particular, various embodiments provide for the generation of compressed sequential data, where individual instances of a sequence represent differentials from prior instances in that sequence. In order to reduce an amount of data that needs to be transmitted, instances of data (such as individual video frames) can be provided using a prior video frame as a reference, sending only data for those pixel locations where the pixel value differs from the reference frame. A reference frame can include a previously-received and successfully-decoded frame, in order to minimize the impact of dropped, incomplete, or corrupted frames. In order to further reduce data transmission requirements, a reference frame can be selected which is determined to be optimal for the current frame, such as may represent a least amount of data to be transmitted for a given frame.

Abstract: Annotations can be correlated to components of a document image so that the annotations track movements of the document image. A transparent overlay is generated to include the annotations and is linked to various components of the document image. Movement of the underlying document image is tracked and then adjustments in components positions are applied to associated annotations to maintain a contextual relationship between the annotations and the components of the document image.

Abstract: In various examples, communications from a host device—which may be associated with an entity—and to a client device may be are verified through established channels of communication. Systems and methods are disclosed that use authentication signals and notifications, which may include predetermined passwords and time-sensitive values, to facilitate verification of the communication between the host device and client device. The notifications may be delivered using applications or web-based applications that are associated with an entity. Once the communication has been verified as trusted, the host device and/or the client device may present notifications that the communication is verified as trusted. The notifications may be presented using audio, video, and/or haptic methods.

Abstract: In various examples, communications having insecure protocols are dynamically hardened. For example, communications that are formatted in an outdated or otherwise insecure version of a protocol (e.g., sent by a device aged out of a service window) may be isolated within a network, converted to an updated protocol format, or any combination thereof. These systems and methods may be implemented on a general purpose network device (e.g., a hub of a Local Area Network (LAN)).

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to detect abnormal behavior on clients using one or more neural networks on said clients. In at least one embodiment, use of or behavior on one or more clients is analyzed by a first neural network to detect abnormal behavior compared to a baseline of accepted behavior, and said baseline of accepted behavior is revised over time by a second neural network based on behavior observed on said one or more clients.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to accelerate training of one or more neural networks. In at least one embodiment, training values for individual nodes in a first neural network are estimated using a second neural network or other estimation technique in order to decrease time required to train the first neural network.

Abstract: A security enhancement technique provides users of an application program with a perceptible cue, such as a visual or audible indication, that a domain and/or link is safe according to a list of safe domains/sites and links. Each identified domain and/or link is compared with domains and/or links defined in a trusted list. The trusted list is maintained by an enterprise system administrator or is provided via an internet browser program. Advantages of this technique are that the user can easily identify domain names that are trusted and does not need to examine each URL path to determine whether or not the domain and/or link is safe. Users may be motivated to scrutinize domains and/or links that are not indicated to be trusted, reducing security breaches.
