Abstract: Data verification in federate learning is faster and simpler. As artificial intelligence grows in usage, data verification is needed to prove custody and/or control. Electronic data representing an original version of training data may be hashed to generate one or more digital signatures. The digital signatures may then be incorporated into one or more blockchains for historical documentation. Any auditor may then quickly verify and/or reproduce the training data using the digital signatures. For example, a current version of the training data may be hashed and compared to the digital signatures generated from the current version of the training data. If the digital signatures match, then the training data has not changed since its creation. However, if the digital signatures do not match, then the training data has changed since its creation. The auditor may thus flag the training data for additional investigation and scrutiny.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and a method for providing 5G services to at least one user device [302]. The at least one user device transmits a first connection request to the gNodeB [304]. The gNodeB attaches a first protocol message to the first connection request received from the at least one user device and transmits the attached first connection request to an interworking unit [306]. The interworking unit generates a third request from the attached first connection request based on an application protocol and transmits the generated third request to an EPC [308]. The EPC establishes a connection with the at least one user device and 5G services to the at least one user device via the gNodeB [304].

Abstract: A system for accelerating binary convolution operations of a neural network includes a set of destination registers, binary convolution circuitry, a decoder coupled to the binary convolution circuitry, and instruction fetch circuitry coupled to the decoder and configured to fetch a binary convolution instruction from an associated memory. The binary convolution instruction specifies input data, weight data, and the set of destination registers for performing a binary convolution operation. The decoder receives the binary convolution instruction from the instruction fetch circuitry and causes the input data and the weight data to be provided to the binary convolution circuitry. In response, the binary convolution circuitry performs the binary convolution operation on the input data and the weight data to produce output data and stores the output data in the set of destination registers.

Abstract: A blockchain object stores multiple user blockchains, each blockchain comprising an ordered set of records in the blockchain object. The records of a user blockchain have the same blockchain key value. Users can create multiple blockchains by establishing respective blockchain key values for the blockchains. Like blocks in a blockchain, the records in a user blockchain are ordered by a sequence of numbers that is specific to the user blockchain; each user blockchain has its own sequence of numbers. Each record in a user blockchain holds a sequence number in a field of the blockchain object. An efficient mechanism maintains and assigns a sequence number to a record when appended to a user blockchain.

Abstract: The subject technology provides embodiments for supporting a unified table which may be a managed table or an unmanaged table. Managed tables are those where the subject technology manages the metastore/catalog for the table, whereas unmanaged tables are tables where an external catalog controls the table and the subject technology integrates with that catalog to work with the table, but does not assume control of the table.

Abstract: The subject technology provides techniques for enabling hidden database objects, which in an example are utilized for testing and verifying new database objects against existing workloads. Hidden database objects are a mechanism for bridging that gap by running user workloads on user data in advance of exposing the feature to users. This mechanism allows placing a database object as a hidden object nested beneath a user's visible object (e.g., table, column, view, and the like). Hidden database objects can be used to verify the functionality, parity, performance, and correctness of new unreleased features.

Abstract: An image of a check may be presented for payment in a banking system in place of the physical paper check. The check to be deposited can be collected from a depositor using a scanner. A web site, accessed through a depositor's web browser, can be used to drive the process of collecting the check, but in some contexts (e.g., in less popular computing environments, such as those that do not run the most popular operating systems), it is economically infeasible to obtain the certificates that would be used to allow a program executing in the web browser to control the scanner. Thus, a depositor can be instructed to capture and upload images of the check in the form of files, where the image files are then presented for payment through a banking system.

An algorithm uses bootstrap sampling to verify that an agent's scores are significantly different from other agents' scores. The algorithm further uses a mutual information score to find topics that are associated with interactions having a high knowledge gap score.
