Abstract: A text classification command line interface tool assists a user label a dataset. The command line interface tool comprises a plurality of top-level modules programmed and operable to assist a user to obtain the dataset from a file location, semi-automatically search and label select datapoints of the dataset, train a first label-assist model, compute confidence scores for each of the datapoints of the dataset, and review metrics. The command line interface tool is operable to assist a user to retrain the first label-assist model via reinforcement learning until accuracy is sufficient. The CLI tool can save and export the pre-processed labeled dataset. In embodiments, a production classifier is trained using the preprocessed dataset and operable to classify new datapoints in real time. Examples of datapoints to classify include without limitation entity websites. Examples of categories include, without limitation, SHAFT and cannabis-related categories. Related computer-implemented methods are also described.

Abstract: A block transfer apparatus for transferring a block between an upstream and downstream clamps of a block delivery system. The apparatus includes: a frame pivotally mounted to a support; a clamping assembly mounted to the frame and linearly extendable relative thereto, and including a pair of gripper jaws for clamping opposing sides of the block. The apparatus receives a block in the gripper jaws in an approximate position; rotates to a drop position and releases the block allowing it to self-datum onto first and second orthogonal datum surfaces. The apparatus re-clamps the block after the drop by applying a clamping force to opposing sides of the block to register the block against a third datum surface to thereby datum the position of the block with respect to the clamping assembly; and presents the block clamped in the datumed position for transfer to the downstream clamp.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a host that polls a network adapter to receive data from a network. That is, the host/CPU/application thread polls the network adapter (e.g., the network card, NIC, or SmartNIC) to determine whether a packet has been received. If so, the host informs the network adapter to store the packet (or a portion of the packet) in a CPU register. If the requested data has not yet been received by the network adapter from the network, the network adapter can delay the responding to the request to provide extra time for the adapter to receive the data from the network.

Abstract: A system stores multiple documents in a log-structured object store, each document associated with a sequence number and a document value. The log-structured object store includes multiple log segments, each storing documents within a defined sequence number range. A first log-structured merge-tree is maintained to map document keys to corresponding sequence numbers, while a second log-structured merge-tree maps sizes of stale documents to their sequence numbers. A ratio is determined between the size of stale documents and the total size of documents in at least one log segment. In response to the ratio exceeding a predetermined threshold, a compaction operation is initiated to delete stale documents and consolidate active documents into a reduced number of log segments using the reclaimed space. The first and second log-structured merge-trees are updated based on the compaction results to reflect the current state of the data.

Abstract: Techniques are described for tracking intruders of a monitored property by the unique identifying characteristics or “digital fingerprints” of electronic devices carried by the intruders. A system detects an alarm event at a monitored property based on output from at least one sensor located at the monitored property. In response to detecting the alarm event at the monitored property, the system initiates a process to gather electronic identifiers for mobile electronic devices located within the monitored property at a time corresponding to the detected alarm event. The system determines electronic identifiers for the mobile electronic devices located within the monitored property at a time corresponding to the detected alarm event. The system stores in electronic storage, information indicating the determined electronic identifiers for the mobile electronic devices located within the monitored property at a time corresponding to the detected alarm event.
