Abstract: The technology includes a system to assist and enrich a videoconference session with metacommunication channels provided by a metacommunication service. The metacommunication service is hosted by a server of the system to function across different videoconference platforms. The system streams a metacommunication channel to multiple client devices of participants of a videoconference session. The metacommunication channel is configured to generate a video feed that modifies a camera feed of the videoconference session based on metacommunicative signals. The system generates first metacommunicative signals based on an output of a software application. The system enables a device connected to the videoconference session to access the server of the system and cause the metacommunicative service to generate second metacommunicative signals. The system updates the metacommunication channel based on the first metacommunicative signals and the second metacommunicative signals.

Abstract: The disclosed technology includes a system that optimizes computing resources for dashboards. The system includes a computing device and memory that caches snapshots of dashboard outputs. A dashboard output captures a snapshot (e.g., instance in time) of dashboard data that can be presented on display devices without needing to maintain continuous access to the underlying dashboard data. The snapshot has a quick response (QR) code overlayed at a position for a viewer to capture the QR code with a camera on a smartphone. The smartphone can read the QR code to access dashboard data through a backend communications link. The QR code can embed data that is used to track and store information about what data is being accessed by users and the frequency with which the data is being accessed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating encoded text representations of spoken utterances are disclosed. Audio data is received for a spoken utterance and analyzed to identify a nonverbal characteristic, such as a sentiment, a speaking rate, or a volume. An encoded text representation of the spoken utterance is generated, comprising a text transcription and a visual representation of the nonverbal characteristic. The visual representation comprises a geometric element, such as a graph or shape, or a variation in a text attribute, such as font, font size, or color. Analysis of the audio data and/or generation of the encoded text representation can be performed using machine learning.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques that enable a Meeting Expense and Verification (MEV) controller to infer the meeting expense of a proposed meeting. The MEV controller may analyze a meeting request to identify meeting attendees, and in doing so, determine the meeting expense. In response to the meeting expense being greater than a predetermined meeting expense threshold, the MEV controller may suspend the meeting request.

Abstract: An apparatus for wrapping a load may include a film dispenser for dispensing a film web including a film dispensing drive. The apparatus may also include a rotational drive system for providing relative rotation between the load and the dispenser during a wrapping cycle. The apparatus may further include a controller configured to operatively couple the film dispensing drive and the rotational drive system such that, for any portion of a revolution of the film dispenser relative to the load during the wrapping cycle, the film dispenser dispenses a selected length of the film web corresponding to the portion of the revolution.

Abstract: Verifying benefit information for an employer-provided benefit plan is provided. A computer system verifies employee enrollments in the benefit plan. Verifying employee enrollments includes receiving an employee identifier in a first panel of a graphical user interface, identifying an employee associated with the employee identifier, identifying employee enrollments of the employee, and displaying the employee enrollments in the first panel. The computer system verifies plan benefits for the benefit plan. Verifying plan benefits includes receiving a plan identifier in a second panel of the graphical user interface, identifying the plan benefits based on the plan identifier, and displaying the plan benefits in the second panel. The computer system verifies plan membership. Verifying plan membership includes receiving a personal identifier in a third panel of the graphical user interface, identifying the plan identifier based on the personal identifier, and displaying the plan identifier in the third panel.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improving generated images based on image accuracy and aesthetics are disclosed herein. For example, an image tuning system can receive an image generation prompt describing a first image. The system can generate a second image. The system can compute an accuracy metric and an aesthetic metric. The system can determine whether the accuracy metric and aesthetic metric are less than respective thresholds. The system can generate a seed artifact. The system can generate a third image approximating the first image based on the seed artifact. The system can transmit the third image for display at a user interface.

Abstract: This document describes techniques, apparatuses, and systems for a personalized set of images that are customized to a specific user using his/her likeness. The personalized set of images are presented as a personalized advertisement on a display that is determined to be visible to the user. The personalized set of images can be generated by a telecommunications network operator to which the user is subscribed. An image of the user is retrieved from a user profile associated with the user by the telecommunications network operator. The user's face can be isolated from the image and included within the personalized advertisement. As a result, the personalized advertisement can better appeal to the user, which can increase the effectiveness and palatability of the advertisement.
