  • Publication number: 20220309043
    Abstract: In an electronic data processing method, a first column and a second column of at least one table are identified which have a one-to-one or one-to-many relationship with fewer than a threshold number of violations of the one-to-one or one-to-many relationship. On a display, possible data errors in the at least one table corresponding to the violations of the one-to-one or one-to-many relationship are indicated. The identifying of the violations may include generating a weighted bipartite graph representing the first and second columns, and detecting the violations using the bipartite graph. The method may further include displaying, on the display, a user interface whereby a user accepts or rejects each indicated violation of the one-to-one or one-to-many relationship.

  • Publication number: 20220303195
    Abstract: Examples can include an optimizer that dynamically determines where to place virtual network functions for a slice in a distributed Telco cloud network. The optimizer can determine a slice path that complies with a service level agreement and balances network load. The virtual network functions of the slice can be provisioned at clouds identified by the optimal slice path. In one example, performance metrics are normalized, and tenant-selected weights can be applied. This can allow the optimizer to prioritize particular SLA attributes in choosing an optimal slice path.

  • Patent number: 11443412
    Abstract: Systems and techniques for estimating illumination from a single image are provided. An example system may include a neural network. The neural network may include an encoder that is configured to encode an input image into an intermediate representation. The neural network may also include an intensity decoder that is configured to decode the intermediate representation into an output light intensity map. An example intensity decoder is generated by a multi-phase training process that includes a first phase to train a light mask decoder using a set of low dynamic range images and a second phase to adjust parameters of the light mask decoder using a set of high dynamic range image to generate the intensity decoder.
