Publication number: 20240420418Abstract: Approaches presented herein provide for the generation of a text-based representation of an environment. In particular, a large language model (LLM) can be used to generate a tokenized text string representation of an environment using information such as the semantics, topology, and geometry of the environment. A language model-generated representation can comply with real-world rules and constructs, and can account for omissions or errors in the input data based upon known relationships and semantics for various objects in the environment. Such representations can be used to generate reconstructions of existing environments, correct or augment previously-constructed representations, or generate representations of new but realistic environments that comply with real-world rules. A text-based representation can comprise a one-dimensional string of tokens, which can encapsulate the important spatial information and semantics of an environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2023Publication date: December 19, 2024Inventors: Shuang Wu, Denis Laprise, Mark Wheeler, James Wu

Patent number: 11880484Abstract: A multi-tenant system sends jobs for execution on a secondary platform such as a cloud based platform. The multi-tenant system sends tenant data for multiple tenants to the secondary platform. The multi-tenant system obtains job-level credentials from the secondary platform, for example, security tokens that provide access to tenant data for a fixed length of time. The multi-tenant system uses the job-level credentials for enforcing tenant level data isolation for jobs executed on the secondary platform. This ensures that the jobs executing on the secondary platform do not access, modify, or delete data of tenants not related to the job.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2019Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Christopher James Wu, Shaun Senecal
