Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, non-transitory computer readable storage media, and systems that generate synthetized digital images via multi-resolution generator neural networks. The disclosed system extracts multi-resolution features from a scene representation to condition a spatial feature tensor and a latent code to modulate an output of a generator neural network. For example, the disclosed systems utilizes a base encoder of the generator neural network to generate a feature set from a semantic label map of a scene. The disclosed system then utilizes a bottom-up encoder to extract multi-resolution features and generate a latent code from the feature set. Furthermore, the disclosed system determines a spatial feature tensor by utilizing a top-down encoder to up-sample and aggregate the multi-resolution features. The disclosed system then utilizes a decoder to generate a synthesized digital image based on the spatial feature tensor and the latent code.

Abstract: Monitoring of animals in a herd has various challenges. A method and a system for monitoring and measuring the behavior of a plurality of animals in a herd chamber is provided. The disclosure provides a method to develop a model to identify the animal interactions between a given set of herds of two or more animals.

Abstract: Techniques for request throttling in a provider network environment are described. A throttle handler controls whether requests will be processed through maintaining a token-based record, per type of request, having a token value indicative of a number of requests that can be processed over a time period. For a request, the token value of the token-based record corresponding to the request type is updated based on calculating an elapsed time between a last update time of the token-based record and the current time, calculating an intermediate token value as the existing token value plus a value of the elapsed time multiplied by a rate, and updating the token value to be the minimum between the intermediate token value and a burst value. The request is serviced when the updated token value is determined to be greater than or equal to a number of tokens needed to perform the request.

Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to automatically creating customized whiteboard backgrounds. A network system accesses metadata associated with a virtual presentation (e.g., title, topic, tenant identifier). First image data is identified based on first data of the metadata and second image data is identified based on second data of the metadata. Using the first image data and the second image data, the network system generates a plurality of whiteboard backgrounds by combining a first object obtained from the first image data with a second object obtained from the second image data to form each whiteboard background. The network system then causes presentation of a representation of each of the plurality of whiteboard backgrounds on a user interface of a host, who can select one of the representations. In response to receiving a selection, a whiteboard background corresponding to the selected representation is displayed as background on a whiteboard canvas.

Abstract: Techniques are described for an adaptive CoPP that can adapt and change based on actual network control traffic rather than static CoPP rates. An aggressive CoPP can protect the CPU (route processor) of a network device, e.g., routers and switches, but may also penalize convergence and performance. An adaptive CoPP may protect CPU as well as boost convergence and performance parameters. In particular, traffic between two sites may be managed by proactively changing the thresholds of lower CoS traffic based on the CoPP utilization of various protocol/BPDU class traffic, thereby improving data plane convergence and application performance in scaled environments.
