Abstract: The distribution of incoming queries to a customer interaction center agent group is parallel processed amongst agents of that group to improve queue wait times. A threshold number of queries that may be processed by agent devices associated with the agent group at a given time are defined based on a number of agents of the agent group that are available at the given time. In response to determining that the number of queries is satisfies the threshold number of queries based on the number of agents that are available at a current time, a number of queries awaiting processing are distributed to one or more agent devices of the agent group. The threshold number of queries may be based on half of the number of agents that are available at the given time.

Abstract: This application describes an animation data generation method and apparatus, and a related product, which may be applied to scenarios such as a cloud technology, artificial intelligence (AI), intelligent transportation, assisted driving, digital human, virtual human, gaming, virtual reality, and extended reality (XR). Features of a virtual object in a virtual scene are obtained, and animation data of the virtual object is generated through a trained neural network based on the features. The use of the neural network omits storage of massive data into an internal memory and query of the massive data for a matched animation during generation of the animation data, and only requires storage of weight data related to the neural network in advance. Therefore, only a small internal memory is occupied, thereby avoiding problems such as large internal memory occupation and poor query performance during generation of the animation data.

Abstract: The invention discloses a blockchain-based intrusion detection system for railway signal, which is built on a blockchain's distributed chain structure, without a central, trusted control center. This design mitigates the vulnerabilities associated with centralized intrusion detection centers. Additionally, by utilizing a blockchain-based distributed structure, it also eliminates the risk of a single point of failure for the intrusion detection center. Moreover, the data within the blockchain-based intrusion detection system is highly resistant to malicious tampering. This is achieved by leveraging the consensus mechanism inherent in the blockchain, which can achieve consensus among intrusion detection nodes. The current invention solves the internal evil attacks and avoid the inability to reach consensus between nodes due to internal evil, thereby affecting the intrusion detection performance; at the same time, the intrusion detection model can resist external network attacks.
