Abstract: A method for providing a treatment recommendation to a physician for treating a patient is disclosed. The method comprises determining, from a processor in communication with a patient data repository, a first treatment recommendation based on a combination of selected patient demographics from the patient data repository applicable to the patient, and operational parameters of a plurality of ventricular assist devices (VADs) suitable for treating the patient, the first treatment recommendation having a first survival rate and comprising the use of a first VAD. The method then obtains a first signal from using the first VAD on the patient. The method then determines a second treatment recommendation based on the first signal and the first treatment recommendation, the second treatment recommendation having a second survival rate. The method then provides the second treatment recommendation to the physician if the second survival rate is higher than the first survival rate.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method generates a first pattern and corresponding first bit string for a first location and searches storage for patterns that were previously determined from transcoding locations and can be reused for the first location. A second pattern and corresponding second bit string for a second location is selected from storage. The second pattern is different from the first pattern. The method determines information for an alteration of the second pattern to the first pattern. Then, the method includes the information for the alteration in an encoded bitstream for use in decoding the first location.

Abstract: Embodiments of this specification disclose a method and apparatus for detecting intrusion, a storage medium and a device. In this method, a pointcut is set in a dynamic link library of a JVM, a corresponding aspect is initiated at an operating system kernel layer. When the aspect is triggered, the operating system kernel queries, by stack information, a method that is invoked in the dynamic link library by a target event triggering the aspect, and accordingly detects whether the target event is an intrusion event. Since in this method, an intrusion event is detected by a system layer, a system invocation generated by the intrusion can be sensed, even if an intruder directly intruded from a JDWP protocol layer, thereby effectively defending against the event.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method includes inputting a proxy encoding configuration into an encoder. This encoder determines proxy quality values from an actual encoding of a portion of a video. These proxy quality values are for a set of bitrates and a resolution. The method also determines target feature values for the same portion of the video. The method inputs both the target feature values and a target configuration into a prediction network. This network generates a plurality of quality offset values for the set of bitrates and the resolution. The prediction network is configured to predict an offset to the proxy quality values. This offset is determined based on a difference between the proxy encoding configuration and the target configuration. The method then generates a plurality of quality values. The generation uses the plurality of proxy quality values and the corresponding plurality of quality offset values.

A frame matching process is performed to determine whether frames of the second video and frames of the first video meet a condition that determines whether frames match to generate a new version of the second video and a new version of the first video. A sequence of frames in the new version of the first video is different from the first video. The method compares frames of the new version of the second video and frames of the new version of the first video to generate a score based on a quality metric.
