Abstract: Techniques are described for generating a virtualized network function (VNF) descriptor (VNFD) indicative of resources for managing VNF components (VNFCs) across a plurality of virtualized infrastructure managers (VIMs) implemented in a virtualized computing environment configured in a user-specific configuration. A VNFD generator receives a solution description file (SDF) encoding user input pertaining to the user-specific configuration, and a VNFC descriptor encoding VNFC specific information. The SDF and VNFC descriptor are validated and translated to generate an abstracted VNFD that is independent of renderers implemented at the virtualized computing environment. The abstracted VNFD is translated to a VNFD that is specific to the renderers and VIM and VNFD-specific information at the virtualized computing environment.

Abstract: As opposed to a rigid approach, implementations disclosed herein utilize a flexible approach in automatically determining an action set to utilize in attempting performance of a task that is requested by natural language input of a user. The approach is flexible at least in that embedding technique(s) and/or action model(s), that are utilized in generating action set(s) from which the action set to utilize is determined, are at least selectively varied. Put another way, implementations leverage a framework via which different embedding technique(s) and/or different action model(s) can at least selectively be utilized in generating different candidate action sets for given NL input of a user. Further, one of those action sets can be selected for actual use in attempting real-world performance of a given task reflected by the given NL input. The selection can be based on a suitability metric for the selected action set and/or other considerations.

Abstract: Disclosed implementations relate to automating semantically-similar computing tasks across multiple contexts. In various implementations, an initial natural language input and a first plurality of actions performed using a first computer application may be used to generate a first task embedding and a first action embedding in action embedding space. An association between the first task embedding and first action embedding may be stored. Later, subsequent natural language input may be used to generate a second task embedding that is then matched to the first task embedding. Based on the stored association, the first action embedding may be identified and processed using a selected domain model to select actions to be performed using a second computer application. The selected domain model may be trained to translate between an action space of the second computer application and the action embedding space.
