  • Method for Training Large Language Models to Perform Query Intent Classification
    Publication number: 20240135187
    Abstract: Provided are computing systems, methods, and platforms that train query processing models, such as large language models, to perform query intent classification tasks by using retrieval augmentation and multi-stage distillation. Unlabeled training examples of queries may be obtained, and a set of the training examples may be augmented with additional feature annotations to generate augmented training examples. A first query processing model may annotate the retrieval augmented queries to generate inferred labels for the augmented training examples. A second query processing model may be trained on the inferred labels, distilling the query processing model that was trained with retrieval augmentation into a non-retrieval augmented query processing model. The second query processing model may annotate the entire set of unlabeled training examples. Another stage of distillation may train a third query processing model using the entire set of unlabeled training examples without retrieval augmentation.

  • AUTOMATED REMEDIATION OF EXPOSED SECRETS
    Publication number: 20240126917
    Abstract: Techniques for identifying an exposed credential that, if used, would provide access to a resource are disclosed. The techniques enable the resource to remain online while (i) a new credential is allocated for the resource, (ii) the resource is transitioned to using the new credential instead of the exposed credential, and (iii) the exposed credential is attempted to be invalidated. A credential is accessed. This credential is suspected of being in an exposed state. The credential is accessible from within an artifact and is determined to be in the exposed state. A new credential is generated. This new credential is designed to replace the exposed credential. An instruction is transmitted to the resource to cause it to transition from using the exposed credential to using the new credential. The exposed credential is then invalidated.

  • Multiple Version Write Pending Support in Shared Global Memory
    Publication number: 20240126437
    Abstract: A storage system is configured to accept subsequent versions of write data on a given track to multiple respective slots of shared global memory. A track index table presents metadata at the track level, and can hold up to N slots of data. All slots of shared global memory holding data owed to the source volume and to snapshots of the source volume are bound to the track in the track index table. Each time a write occurs on a track, the track index table is used to determine when a write pending slot for the track is owed to a snapshot copy of the storage volume. When a write pending slot contains data that is owed to a snapshot copy of the source volume, a new slot is allocated to the write IO and bound to the track in the track index table.

  • MONITORING FLUID/CEMENT TYPE/QUALITY OUTSIDE OF CASING OF A BOREHOLE
    Publication number: 20240125225
    Abstract: Determining one or more of a fluid composition, a cement state, or a cement quality of a material located downhole a borehole by using a capacitive sensor or an inductive sensor. The sensors can be located on a pipe positioned downhole or within a swell packer. More than one sensor can be used, for example, as a set of sensor systems. The sensors can be of different sizes, utilize different frequencies, or be spaced unevenly to analyze different shaped areas and depths from the sensors. More than one set of sensors can be employed, such as axially or circumferentially spaced along the pipe or swell packer. The relative dielectric permittivity of the various downhole material can be used to determine when pumped cement has displaced the borehole fluid and when the cement has cured. The process can determine if a micro annulus or crack exists in the cement.

  • Tourniquet with user-selectable safety protocols
    Patent number: 11944322
    Abstract: A tourniquet apparatus comprises a cuff, a user interface, a controller, a protocol hazard key and a protocol safety interlock. The cuff encircles the patient's limb and applies a level of pressure. The UI presents a protocol symbol from a plurality of protocol symbols wherein each protocol symbol is indicative of a corresponding safety protocol. The controller is responsive to stored pressure levels and stored times specified by the safety protocol, after any adjustments by the user, and operable during the stored protocol time period for maintaining the level of pressure applied by the cuff to the individual patient near the plurality of stored pressure levels at the plurality of stored times. The protocol hazard key is actuatable to end the stored protocol time period while the controller is operable. The protocol safety interlock prevents selection of a second protocol symbol while the controller is operable.

  • Multimedia content management for large language model(s) and/or other generative model(s)
    Patent number: 11947923
    Abstract: Implementations relate to managing multimedia content that is obtained by large language model(s) (LLM(s)) and/or generated by other generative model(s). Processor(s) of a system can: receive natural language (NL) based input that requests multimedia content, generate a response that is responsive to the NL based input, and cause the response to be rendered. In some implementations, and in generating the response, the processor(s) can process, using a LLM, LLM input to generate LLM output, and determine, based on the LLM output, at least multimedia content to be included in the response. Further, the processor(s) can evaluate the multimedia content to determine whether it should be included in the response. In response to determining that the multimedia content should not be included in the response, the processor(s) can cause the response, including alternative multimedia content or other textual content, to be rendered.
