Abstract: Techniques for employing a decentralized sleep management service are described herein. In some instances, each computing device of a group of computing devices periodically shares information about itself with each other computing device of the group. With this information, each computing device within the group that is awake and capable of managing other devices selects a subset of devices to probe. The devices then probe this subset to determine whether the probed devices are asleep. In response to identifying a sleeping device, the probing device takes over management of the sleeping device. Managing the sleeping device involves informing other devices of the group that the sleeping device is being managed, in addition to monitoring requests for services on the sleeping device. In response to receiving a valid request for a service hosted by the sleeping device, the managing device awakens the sleeping device and ceases managing the now-woken device.

Abstract: Domain-specific language understanding models that may be built, tested and improved quickly and efficiently are provided. Methods, systems and devices are provided that enable a developer to build user intent detection models, language entity extraction models, and language entity resolution models quickly and without specialized machine learning knowledge. These models may be built and implemented via single model systems that enable the models to be built in isolation or in an end-to-end pipeline system that enables the models to be built and improved in a simultaneous manner.

Abstract: Methods, computer systems, computer-storage media, and graphical user interfaces are provided for visualizing a performance of a machine-learned model. An interactive graphical user interface includes an item representation display area that displays a plurality of item representations corresponding to a plurality of items processed by the machine-learned model. The plurality of item representations are arranged according to scores assigned to the plurality of items by the machine-learned model. Further, each of the plurality of item representations is visually configured to represent a label assigned to a corresponding item.

Abstract: A collection of data that is extremely large can be difficult to search and/or analyze. Relevance may be dramatically improved by automatically classifying queries and web pages in useful categories, and using these classification scores as relevance features. A thorough approach may require building a large number of classifiers, corresponding to the various types of information, activities, and products. Creation of classifiers and schematizers is provided on large data sets. Exercising the classifiers and schematizers on hundreds of millions of items may expose value that is inherent to the data by adding usable meta-data. Some aspects include active labeling exploration, automatic regularization and cold start, scaling with the number of items and the number of classifiers, active featuring, and segmentation and schematization.

Abstract: Conversational interactions between humans and computer systems can be provided by a computer system that classifies an input by conversation type, and provides human authored responses for conversation types. The input classification can be performed using trained binary classifiers. Training can be performed by labeling inputs as either positive or negative examples of a conversation type. Conversational responses can be authored by the same individuals that label the inputs used in training the classifiers. In some cases, the process of training classifiers can result in a suggestion of a new conversation type, for which human authors can label inputs for a new classifier and write content for responses for that new conversation type.

Abstract: A system is described for allowing a user, operating a trusted device, to remotely log into a server via a potentially untrustworthy client. A first secure connection is established between the client and the server. A second secure connection is established between the device and the server through the client. The user then remotely logs into the server over the second secure connection using the device. The second secure connection is tunneled within the first secure connection, preventing the untrustworthy client from discovering personal information associated with the user. According to one feature, prior to forming the second secure connection, the user establishes a pairing relationship with the client by reading an address of the client using a reading mechanism. According to another feature, the device can receive marketing information in the course of a transaction.
