Abstract: Methods and systems for media trend identification of content sharing platforms are provided herein. A set of audiovisual embeddings that represent audiovisual features of a media item is obtained. A set of textual embeddings that represent textual features of the media item is obtained. The obtained set of audiovisual embeddings and the obtained set of textual embeddings are provided as an input to an artificial intelligence (AI) model trained to predict whether a respective media item is associated with one or more media trends of a platform based on given embeddings for the media item. One or more outputs of the AI model are obtained. A determination is made, based on the one or more outputs of the AI model, whether the media item is associated with the one or more media trends of the platform.

Abstract: An example of a biotin-streptavidin cleavage composition includes a formamide reagent and a salt buffer. The formamide reagent is present in the biotin-streptavidin cleavage composition in an amount ranging from about 10% to about 50%, based on a total volume of the biotin-streptavidin cleavage composition. The salt buffer makes up the balance of the biotin-streptavidin cleavage composition. In some examples, the biotin-streptavidin cleavage composition is used to cleave library fragments from a solid support. In other examples, other mechanisms are used to cleave library fragments from a solid support.

Abstract: A method that may be computer implemented converts a tensor value from a first format to a second format and trains a neural network. The method determines a maximum exponent code in the first format and subtracts a first bias to obtain the highest needed exponent. It determines a second bias from the highest available code (HAC) in the second format and the HNE, and converts the tensor value from the first format to the second format by using the second bias instead of the first bias. The method uses the second format to train the neural network. The method may round the mantissa of the tensor value in the first format to obtain a rounded mantissa of the tensor value for the second format.

Abstract: Intravascular delivery system is designed for a safe and efficient access to secondary and tertiary vascular structures, such as the branches of the coronary sinus, to enhance the delivery and deployment of various catheters, such as, for example, pacemaker electrical leads. The over-the-wire system features a straight, or alternatively shaped, micro-catheter distal tip of an inner catheter that seamlessly cooperates with a peel-away reinforced outer catheter. The inner catheter and the peel-away reinforced outer catheter are advanced in their engaged mode of operation towards (or beyond) the target site. Subsequently, the inner and outer catheters are disengaged, and the inner catheter is removed from the outer catheter. A pacemaker lead may be advanced over the wire inside the outer catheter to the target site for deployment. Subsequently, the outer catheter is easily split and may be rapidly removed from the blood vessel.

Abstract: Techniques for generating a driving surface cost landscape for determining costs for vehicle positions in an environment are described herein. A planning component within a vehicle may determine a non-preferred surface associated with a type of non-preferred area of an environment along a route of a vehicle, determine a preferred surface associated with a preferred area of the environment, determine an adjusted non-preferred surface by removing an overlapping area of the non-preferred surface that overlaps the preferred surface and determine a cost associated with a vehicle position based at least on the preferred surface and the adjusted non-preferred surface. The planning component may then determine a control trajectory for the autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the cost associated with the vehicle position.

Abstract: A data platform for running a subset of cells in a notebook is provided. The data platform receives a run cells message from a notebook user interface (UI) application specifying the subset of cells to run. For each cell in the subset, the data platform runs the cell to generate a set of results, generates a cell execution stream using the results, stores the stream, and transmits the stream to the notebook UI application. The notebook UI application generates a display for the user using the cell execution stream. The data platform provides an efficient way to run specific cells in a notebook and display the results to the user.
