Abstract: Techniques for automatically placing and manipulating virtual objects of augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) simulations are described. One technique includes obtaining an indication of at least one virtual object available for placing within a real-world environment during an AR simulation or a MR simulation. A first representation of the real-world environment is generated, based on a scan of the real-world environment. At least one second representation of the real-world environment is generated from the first representation. A match is determined between the at least one virtual object and at least one available space within the real-world environment, based at least in part on evaluating the at least one virtual object and the at least one second representation with a machine learning model(s). The at least one virtual object is rendered on a computing device, based on the match.

Abstract: Programs, systems, and methods are described for providing on-demand applications to users by infrastructure as a service platforms. A request catcher may receive a request to start an application that runs on a managed system that is scheduled to be off. The request catcher or a management application may verify that the user has authorization to access the application and request to the management application to start the managed system. The management application may start the managed system and the managed system may then provide access to the application to the user.

Abstract: A system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a memory storing a software code and a neural network (NN) having multiple layers including a last activation layer and a loss layer. The hardware processor executes the software code to identify different combinations of layers for testing the NN, each combination including candidate function(s) for the last activation layer and candidate function(s) for the loss layer. For each different combination, the software code configures the NN based on the combination, inputs, into the configured NN, a training dataset including multiple data objects, receives, from the configured NN, a classification of the data objects, and generates a performance assessment for the combination based on the classification. The software code determines a preferred combination of layers for the NN including selected candidate functions for the last activation layer and the loss layer, based on a comparison of the performance assessments.

Abstract: A system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor, and a system memory storing a software code and a content labeling predictive model. The hardware processor is configured to execute the software code to scan a database to identify content assets stored in the database, parse metadata stored in the database to identify labels associated with the content assets, and generate a graph by creating multiple first links linking each of the content assets to its corresponding label or labels. The hardware processor is configured to further execute the software code to train, using the graph, the content labeling predictive model, to identify, using the trained content labeling predictive model, multiple second links among the content assets and the labels, and to annotate the content assets based on the second links.

Abstract: Techniques are described for automatically analyzing received values to determine their semantic meaning and apply one or more formatting modifications and/or emphases to the received values based on the determined semantic meaning. In one example, a value to be formatted based on a semantic context associated with at least two portions of the received value is received. In response, a semantic rules associated with the received value is identified. The received value is semantically processed using the semantic rules, where processing includes identifying at least two portions of the value corresponding to their contexts. At least one formatting rule is determined as associated with the two or more semantic contexts, each formatting rule associated with a particular context. The formatting rules are applied to the corresponding portions of the received values associated their semantic contexts to generate a modified version of the received value, which is then provided for presentation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for selecting, obtaining or producing Fc variant polypeptides which show altered recognition for an Fc ligand (e.g., Fc?R, CIq). Additionally, the Fc variant polypeptides may have altered antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and/or complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) activity. The invention further provides methods and protocols for the application of said Fc variant polypeptides particularly for therapeutic purposes.
