The IoT device traffic policies can be used to provision or configure at least a portion of the plurality of IoT devices.

Abstract: A method allows a receiving device to control aspects of an image stream transmitting (IST) device. The method includes receiving a segmented video stream from the IST device during a video communication session. The segmented video stream includes a primary segment and a secondary segment presenting a virtual control interface. The method includes presenting, on a display device, a control enabling view of the segmented video stream and monitoring for movement, captured by at least one image capturing device, that is indicative of the input occurring within a spatial location proximate to the selectable feature. The method includes in response to detecting the input, identifying a function associated with the selectable feature and activating the function to affect one or more characteristics of a video image presented within the primary segment.

Abstract: A segmentation system utilizes a supervised learning method and a clustering analysis to identify clusters, thereby segmenting a population into groups, where the clusters are associated with various conversion potentials that indicate the probability of an event. The segmentation system employs the supervised learning method to train a model on training data comprising historical conversion data and features associated with members of the group. A subset of features is selected from a ranked order that is determined using weights generated by the supervised learning. A clustering analysis is performed for a population with respect to the subset to generate clusters. A superior cluster is identified based on it having a conversion potential greater than a conversion potential of another cluster. In a marketing context, the system can be employed to identify a superior cluster of users that have a higher conversion potential in response to an advertisement campaign.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may perform a measurement operation to attain multiple measurements to report to a base station. The measurements may correspond to a first number of bits if reported. The UE may compress the measurements using an encoder neural network (NN) to obtain an encoder output indicating the measurements. This encoder output may include a second number of bits that is less than the first number of bits. The UE may report the encoder output to the base station in this compressed form. At the base station, the encoder output may be decompressed according to a decoder NN. Once the base station decompresses the encoder output, the UE and base station may communicate according to the measurements determined from the decompression. In some cases, the base station may perform load redistribution based on the measurements.

Abstract: Provided is a system that includes a circuit to generate an interactive item based on a request received from a first distribution network or a second distribution network. The interactive item is overlaid over a media item present in media content. The circuit then activates the generated interactive item overlaid over the media item of the media content. Further, the circuit receives an event trigger, from a client application engine operational on a user device associated with a user, for a selection of the activated interactive item. A personalized list is generated for the event trigger for the selection of the interactive item. Further, the generated personalized list is transmitted for a display for a defined time duration, to one of the first distribution network, the second distribution network or the client application engine operational on the user device.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and software to manage the selection of an edge gateway or edge for processing a packet. In one implementation, a first edge may receive a packet and hash addressing information in the packet to select a second edge to process the packet. The first edge may further forward the packet to the second edge, permitting the second edge to process the packet. Once processed, the second edge may forward the packet to a destination host computing system and notify the host computing system to use the second edge for response packets directed at a source internet protocol (IP) address in the packet.

Abstract: Techniques for determining a command or intent likely to be subsequently invoked by a user of a system are described. A user inputs a command (either via a spoken utterance or textual input) to a system. The system determines content responsive to the command. The system also determines a second command or corresponding intent likely to be invoked by the user subsequent to the previous command. Such determination may involve analyzing pairs of intents, with each pair being associated with a probability that one intent of the pair will be invoked by a user subsequent to a second intent of the pair. The system then outputs first content responsive to the first command and second content soliciting the user as to whether the system to execute the second command.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for coordinated power savings configurations for access link and sidelink(s). A wireless node may receive information from a user equipment (UE) over a sidelink. In some aspects, the wireless node forwards the information to a base station (BS) over an access link and receives, from the BS, a first power savings configuration for the access link and a second power savings configuration for the sidelink. In some aspects, the wireless node receives, from a BS, a first power savings configuration for an access link and determines a second power savings configuration for the sidelink based on the information and the first power savings configuration.

Abstract: An API reader reads a system application's API specification file and creates a root.yml file containing key:value pairs, in which the keys are objects, and the values are staging_object.yml files. Each staging_object.yml file includes a set of entries, with each entry including a REST operation, a REST endpoint, and a description of the operation to be performed using that entry. An intelligent API converter creates structured object.yml files based on corresponding unstructured staging_object.yml files, and replaces the staging_object.yml files of the root.yml file with the newly created object.yml files. Each object.yml file includes a plurality of entries, corresponding to the entries of the respective staging_object.yml file. Each entry of the object.yml file includes an OPERATION, a JSON payload, and a VALIDATION section. An API builder uses the root.yml file to build a REST API for the system under test which is used to automate testing of the application.

Abstract: A method generates data visualizations. A device receives a first user input to specify a natural language command directed to a data source. The natural language command includes a first keyword that is a gradable adjective that modifies a second keyword in the natural language command.
