Abstract: Examples relate to on-device non-semantic representation fine-tuning for speech classification. A computing system may obtain audio data having a speech portion and train a neural network to learn a non-semantic speech representation based on the speech portion of the audio data. The computing system may evaluate performance of the non-semantic speech representation based on a set of benchmark tasks corresponding to a speech domain and perform a fine-tuning process on the non-semantic speech representation based on one or more downstream tasks. The computing system may further generate a model based on the non-semantic representation and provide the model to a mobile computing device. The model is configured to operate locally on the mobile computing device.

Abstract: A method for generating of a blog post respective of a blogger personalized web page is provided. The method comprises allocating a first display area within the blog post; generating at least one snippet of information received from at least one information source of relevant information, the relevant information being respective of a plurality of identifiers that uniquely characterizing a blogger of the blogger personalized web page, wherein the at least one snippet of information is placed in the first display area; generating a personal note display area within the blog post for the blogger to enter comments; allocating a viewer display area within the blog post for viewers to enter comments respective of the blog post; and feeding the blog post to at least one information source.

Abstract: Systems and methods for locating network errors. The system includes a plurality of host nodes in a network of host nodes and intermediary nodes, and a database storing route data for each of a plurality of host node pairs. The system includes a controller configured to identify a subject intermediary node to investigate for network errors and select, using route data stored in the database, a set of target probe paths. Each target probe path includes a respective pair of host nodes separated by a network path including at least one target intermediary node, which is either the subject intermediary node or an intermediary node that is a next-hop neighbor of the subject intermediary node. The controller is configured to test each target probe path in the set of target probe paths and to determine, based on a result of the testing, an operational status of the subject intermediary node.

Abstract: Systems and methods for fault detection in large scale networks are provided. Probing instructions are generated by a probing controller associated with a network having a plurality of nodes. The probing instructions include a specified source node and a specified destination node. Each probing instruction is transmitted to a probing agent coupled to the specified source node and a data packet is transmitted from the probing agent to the specified destination node. A fault detection module is informed of probing instructions associated with failed transmissions, identifies a plurality of nodes having a likelihood of being in a network path associated with failed transmissions, and processes the plurality of nodes having a likelihood of being in the network paths associated with failed transmissions to identify of a set of likely failed nodes.

Abstract: A method for management of information streams delivered for use by a user of a user device comprises discovering information streams relevant to the user using a plurality of uniquifiers, wherein each uniquifier of the plurality of uniquifier characterizes the user; adding the discovered information streams to a list of approved information streams; registering to at least one information stream in the list of approved information streams; filtering data provided by the at least one information stream using the plurality of uniquifiers; and providing a feedback based on the user usage of the filter data to enable improved future discovery and filtering.

Abstract: A method for providing an answer to an input query respective of a user using a user device comprises collecting data respective of the user by using a plurality of sensors on the user device, wherein the plurality of sensors sense the user activity on the user device; generating a plurality of uniquifiers from the data, wherein each uniquifier of the plurality of uniquifier characterizes the user; evaluating periodically the plurality of uniquifiers; storing at least the evaluated plurality of uniquifiers in a memory of the user device; and responsive to the input query, providing an answer based on at least one evaluated uniquifier of the evaluated plurality of uniquifiers stored in the memory

Abstract: A system for generating a customized web page is provided. The system comprising an identifier generator and manager (IGM) for generating a plurality of identifiers from data collected respective of usage of information by a user over time and for providing an answer responsive to a query. The query answer is based on the plurality of identifiers. Also provided is an auto-discovery and management unit for determining relevancy to the user of information retrieved from an information source in which the determination is based on answers received from the IGM and a web page generator for generating a web page containing at least a snippet of the relevant information in a designated display area of the generated web page.

Abstract: A method for personalization of television content comprises determining if input information respective of the television content matches one or more uniquifiers of a user of a set-top box (STB), wherein a uniquifier characterizes a user of a user node that is associated with the STB; updating a personalized content list if the match is determined to exist; and displaying the personalized content list on a television screen coupled to the STB.
