The system inserts the section title metadata and the section summary metadata at the corresponding section breaks in the text document. The system modifies the text document into slides. Each slide being formed for each section based on the corresponding section title metadata and the section summary metadata. The system generates a presentation document based on the slides.

Abstract: This patent application relates to the treatment of cancer and other diseases that have a CD47+ phenotype. Treatment involves the use of radiation and a CD47-binding agent, preferably a CD47-binding form of human signal regulatory protein alpha (SIRPa) that inhibits activation of the CD47/SIRPa axis and mediates phagocytosis of CD47+ disease cells. An anti-cancer effect of a CD47 blocking agent is enhanced when combined with radiation therapy. The anti-cancer effect of a CD47 blocking agent such as SIRPaFc is enhanced when combined with radiation therapy.

Abstract: An approach for optimizing statistical query performance. The approach receives a structured query language set. The approach identifies a first set of parameters associated with the statements of the SQL set. The approach creates a merged SQL statement based on one or more matching parameters of SQL statements in the SQL set. The approach binds a second set of parameters associated with the merged SQL statement to the merged SQL statement. The approach generates a SQL statement based on the merged SQL statement. The approach generates a remote SQL statement based on the SQL statement. The approach executes a commit statement on the remote SQL statement.

Abstract: Implementations of the subject matter described herein provide a solution that enables a machine to automatically generate a melody. In this solution, user emotion and/or environment information is used to select a first melody feature parameter from a plurality of melody feature parameters, wherein each of the plurality of melody feature parameters corresponds to a music style of one of a plurality of reference melodies. The first melody feature parameter is further used to generate a first melody that conforms to the music style and is different from the reference melody. Thus, a melody that matches user emotions and/or environmental information may be automatically created.

Abstract: There is provided a solution for semantic representation of text in a document. In this solution, textual information comprising a sequence of text elements (220) and layout information (230) of the text element are determined from a document. The layout information (230) indicates a spatial arrangement of the plurality of text elements (220) presented within the document. Based at least in part on the plurality of text elements (220) and the layout information (230), respective semantic feature representations (180) of the plurality of text elements (220) are generated. By jointly using both the textual information and the layout information (230), rich semantics of the text elements (220) in the document can be effectively captured in the feature representations.

Abstract: Techniques are described with respect to processing a federated query. An associated computer-implemented method includes compiling a query received from a client computing system to generate a query statement and a query access plan. The query access plan incorporates a modified database access application programming interface (API) that supports data serialization. The method further includes executing the query access plan to transmit the query statement to a remote database system. The method further includes fetching a query result set from the remote database system including serialized binary large object (BLOB) data. The method further includes deserializing the serialized BLOB data of the query result set and populating an in-memory data structure with deserialized query results. In an embodiment, the method further includes transmitting the deserialized query results to the client computing system.

Abstract: An approach is provided for optimizing multi-datasource queries in a networked computing environment. A procedure that contains a set of queries designed to access a specific set of data from a plurality of datasources in a virtualized hybrid storage environment (e.g., a virtualized hybrid cloud) is obtained. A set of mapped store procedures is created for the set of datasources referenced in the procedure. Each mapped store procedure includes a subset of queries that are applicable to a corresponding datasource from the set of queries in the procedure. These mapped store procedures are forwarded to the corresponding datasource for storage on the corresponding datasource. In response to a running of the procedure, execution of the mapped store procedure is commenced on each of the corresponding datasources on which they are stored.
