Abstract: Techniques implemented by an IP address management (IPAM) system for monitoring the usage of IP addresses in networks of computing resources and automatically notifying networking devices when IP address usage has changed. The IPAM system may create pools of IP addresses (e.g., address groups), and map those pools to prefix lists that are distributed to the networking devices. The IPAM system may monitor changes in IP address usage by resources in the networks (e.g., allocations and releases of IP addresses), update the pools that are affected by the changes, carry those changes through to the appropriate prefix lists, and propagate updated prefix lists to the networking devices (e.g., firewall devices, routing devices, etc.). In this way, the IPAM system may automatically identify and apply IP address changes to prefix lists that are used for networking operations in the networks.

The sensitivity of the methods provides for detection of mutations associated with a disease, e.g., cancer mutations, or with inherited disease, e.g., an autosomal recessive disease, in a noninvasive manner at ultra-low proportions of sequences carrying mutations to sequences carrying normal, e.g., non-cancer sequences, or a reference sequence, e.g., a human reference genome.

Abstract: A method of determining an authenticity of a normal map is disclosed. An input candidate normal map is received. A reconstructed candidate normal map is generated based on a performance of a mathematical differentiation on an integration of the input candidate normal map. A reconstruction error is determined based on a comparison of the input candidate normal map to the reconstructed candidate normal map. An authenticity of the input candidate normal map is determined based on the reconstruction error being within a configurable threshold.

Abstract: Herein is presented a light-weight, high-quality texture synthesis algorithm that generalizes to other applications. We utilize an optimal transport optimization process within a bottleneck layer of an auto-encoder, achieving quality and flexibility on par with expensive back-propagation based neural texture synthesis methods, but at interactive rates. In addition to superior synthesis quality, our statistically motivated approach generalizes better to other special case texture synthesis problems such as Style Transfer, Inverse-Texture Synthesis, Texture Mixing, Multi-Scale Texture Synthesis, Structured Image Hybrids and Texture Painting. We treat the texture synthesis problem as the optimal transport between Probably Density Function of the deep neural activation vectors of the image being synthesized and the exemplar texture.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for managing network address allocations using prefix allocation trees. In one embodiment, a request is received to allocate a network address block. The request specifying a prefix size for the network address block. A particular network address block having the prefix size that is allocatable is determined based at least in part on a prefix allocation tree representing the available and allocated network address space. The prefix allocation tree is updated to indicate that the particular network address block is allocated. An identification of the particular network address block is returned in response to the request to allocate the network address block.
