Abstract: A system and method for securing software as a service (SaaS) platforms by providing inter-service visibility. A method includes identifying, based on log data of a first service, a second service connected to the first service, wherein each of the first service and the second service is a set of functions for performing a respective task, wherein the second service is called by the first service; identifying a plurality of patterns in communications between the first service and the second service in the log data of the first service; creating, based on the identified plurality of patterns, a baseline for communications between the first service and the second service; detecting an anomalous communication between the first service and the second service, wherein the anomalous communication deviates from the baseline; and performing a mitigation action with respect to the detected anomalous communication.

Abstract: A noisy audio signal, with user input device noise, is received. Particular frames in the audio signal that are corrupted by user input device noise are identified and removed. The removed audio data is then reconstructed to obtain a clean audio signal.

Abstract: A system and method are provided that reduce noise in speech signals. The system and method decompose a noisy speech signal into a harmonic component and a residual component. The harmonic component and residual component are then combined as a sum to form a noise-reduced value. In some embodiments, the sum is a weighted sum where the harmonic component is multiplied by a scaling factor. In some embodiments, the noise-reduced value is used in speech recognition.

Abstract: Framework for receiving, processing, and re-using personal points of interest (PPOI) information of a user in a location-based application. A telephone dialog system provides location-based information related PPOI of a user. For example, the PPOI information can include major intersections that the user may normally travel, gas stations, clubs, etc., based on real-time data obtained via web services. The PPOI information can be acquired using common names and nicknames, which are added into system lexicon and recognition grammars. Each PPOI is also tagged to the user (or “owner”) who defined it. The PPOI information can also be shared to support a community of users. The framework also resolves conflicting PPOI information between multiple users and multiple locations. PPOI information input by one user can be used to extract demographic information and personal preferences and be re-used by other users by automatically popping up common names and attributes other users entered for the same nickname.

Abstract: A route can be optimized according to various constraints, specifically towards non-travel constraints. A number of community activities can take place such that the activities impact traffic. Thus, a route can be produces that lowers an influence the activities have upon a route. Moreover, a route can be produced that improves signal strength, such as strength of a signal used to communicate with a cellular telephone. In addition, a route can be enhanced by taking into account weather conditions, including real-time weather in addition to weather predictions.

Abstract: A user can be compensated for taking detours from a projected route. Commonly, the reason for the compensation is that the user will be subjected to advertising, the user will pass by an establishment she is likely to visit, or to ease traffic congestion. Analysis of an area takes place and monetization opportunities are determined based upon the results of the analysis. A route between at least about two locations can be altered such that the user is provided a reward, commonly in an optimized manner.
