Abstract: In some examples, human centered computing based digital persona generation may include generating, for a digital persona that is to be generated for a target person, synthetic video files and synthetic audio files that are combined to generate synthetic media files. The digital persona may be generated based on a synthetic media file. An inquiry may be received from a user of the generated digital persona. Another synthetic media file may be used by the digital persona to respond to the inquiry. A real-time emotion of the user may be analyzed based on a text sentiment associated with the inquiry, and a voice sentiment and a facial expression associated with the user. Based on the real-time emotion of the user, a further synthetic media file may be utilized by the digital persona to continue or modify a conversation between the generated digital persona and the user.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods, devices, and computer-readable storage media that support detection, effect monitoring, and recovery from failure modes in cloud computing application using a failure mode effect analysis (FMEA) engine. Historical metadata related to operation of a hierarchy of devices may be used as training data to train the FMEA engine to identify failure modes experienced by the hierarchy of devices. After training the FMEA engine, metadata from the hierarchy of devices may be input to the FMEA engine to identify a failure mode that may have occurred, and the FMEA engine may select a recovery process to recommend for addressing or mitigating the identified failure mode. In some implementations, the FMEA engine may output an indication of the recommended recovery process and/or initiate performance of one or more operations at the hierarchy of devices to recover from the failure event.

Abstract: This invention is directed to devices and methods for surgical access to the body, and particularly to surgical drills for accessing a body cavity and methods therefor. In general, a surgical drill is utilized to gain access to a body cavity or part, such as where bone and/or other hard tissues need to be pierced. For example, the skull and other bones with internal cavities may require surgical access to treat body portions contained within the bone. Further in general, it may be generally desirable to create access holes or openings which may be as small as possible and at a particular direction and/or trajectory. In this manner the access hole or opening may be utilized to guide another device, such as a treatment device, to a particular target along the established trajectory of the access hole or opening.

Abstract: In some implementations, a device may receive a machine learning model to be tested. The device may process the machine learning model, with generalization testing methods, to determine generalization which identifies responsiveness of the machine learning model to varying inputs. The device may process the machine learning model, with robustness testing methods, to determine robustness which identifies responsiveness of the machine learning model to improper inputs. The device may process the machine learning model, with an interpretability testing method, to determine decisions of the machine learning model. The device may calculate a score for the machine learning model based on the generalization data, the robustness data, and the interpretability data. The device may perform one or more actions based on the score for the machine learning model.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are directed towards identifying that an adversarial patch image includes a plurality of pixels. The systems, apparatuses, and methods include dividing the adversarial patch image into a plurality of blocks, that each include a different group of the pixels in which the pixels are contiguous to each other, and assigning a first plurality of colors to the plurality of blocks to assign only one of the first plurality of colors to each pixel of one of the plurality of blocks.

Abstract: The invention relates to devices and methods for visualizing and/or interacting with internal body tissues. More particularly, the present invention relates to endoscopic methods and devices for visualizing and/or interacting with the gastrointestinal and/or pancreaticobiliary systems, such as with one use or disposable devices, such as with duodenoscopes. A device for visualizing and/or interacting with internal body tissues may generally include a handpiece, a distal assembly, and/or a connecting conduit. A plurality of conduits and/or channels may span through the connecting conduit from the handpiece to the distal assembly, and may, for example, carry fluid/gas connections, electrical/sensor connections, such as for a camera, mechanical connections and/or carry medical devices through a working channel. The device may also reduce the needs associated with reusable devices such as for reducing risks associated with improper sterilization.

Abstract: A device may receive, from a user device, a request to verify a machine learning (ML) application using a metamorphic testing procedure. The device may determine a type of ML process used by the ML application, and may select one or more metamorphic relations (MRs), to be used for performing the metamorphic testing procedure, based on the type of ML process. The device may receive test data to be used to test the ML application, wherein the test data is based on the one or more MRs, and may perform, by using the one or more MRs and the test data, the metamorphic testing procedure to verify one or more aspects of the ML application. The device may generate a report that indicates whether the one or more aspects of the ML application have been verified and may provide the report for display on an interface of the user device.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for managing system resources within a data processing system. A resource management moderator (RMM) utility assigns a priority to each application within a group of management applications, facilitated by a RMM protocol. When a request for control of a particular resource is received, the RMM utility compares the priority of the requesting application with the priority of the controlling application. Control of the resource is ultimately given to the management application with the greater priority. If the resource is not under control of an application, control of the resource may be automatically granted to the requester. Additionally, the RMM utility provides support for legacy applications via a “manager of managers” application. The RMM utility registers the “manager of managers” application with the protocol and enables interactions (to reconfigure and enable legacy applications) between the “manager of managers” application and legacy applications.
