Abstract: Systems and methods for text simplification are described. Embodiments of the present disclosure identify a simplified text that includes original information from a complex text and additional information that is not in the complex text. Embodiments then compute an entailment score for each sentence of the simplified text using a neural network, wherein the entailment score indicates whether the sentence of the simplified text includes information from a sentence of the complex text corresponding to the sentence of the simplified text. Then, embodiments generate a modified text based on the entailment score, the simplified text, and the complex text, wherein the modified text includes the original information and excludes the additional information. Embodiments may then present the modified text to a user via a user interface.

Abstract: Generally, a computing device displays, on a display device of the computing device, a barcode to be read by a scanning device. When a barcode is displayed on the display device a determination is made as to whether the barcode is not fully displayed on the display device due to hardware of the computing device such as a punch hole in the display device for a camera, speaker, or microphone. If the barcode is not fully displayed due to the hardware of the computing device, the display of the barcode is modified so that the barcode is fully displayed on the display device despite the hardware of the computing device. Additionally or alternatively, if the scanning device has not completed the scan within a threshold amount of time, the display of the barcode on the display device is modified, such as by increasing or decreasing the resolution of the barcode.

Abstract: A text style transfer system is described that generates different stylized versions of input text by rewriting the input text according to a target style. To do so, the text style transfer system employs a variational autoencoder to derive separate content and style representations for the input text, where the content representation specifies semantic information conveyed by the input text and the style representation specifies one or more style attributes expressed by the input text. The style representation using counterfactual reasoning to identify different transfer strengths for applying the target style to the input text. Each transfer strength represents a minimum change to the input text that achieves a different expression of the target style. The transfer strengths are then used to generate style representation variants, which are each concatenated with the content representation of the input text to generate the plurality of different stylized versions of the input text.

Abstract: A heterogeneous database system allows users to interact with multiple databases. The heterogeneous database system uses a middleware that receives client request and processes them using the databases supported in the backend. The heterogeneous database system presents a uniform interface, for example, APIs to access multiple database that may have different architectures or may be provided by different vendors. The databases connected to the middleware in the backend may include relational databases, document databases, key-value stores, and so on. The middleware stores transaction logs that represent transactions across the multiple databases supported. The heterogeneous database system provides scalability as well as backward compatibility by supporting legacy database systems as backend databases while allowing newer database architectures to be added.
