The system can use semantic models and multilingually trained sentence transformers to generate context-based recommendations for a breaking news headline. It is further refined by use of Knowledge Graphs (KG) and additional modes of information like images, videos present in the news article. These language agnostic signals along with the semantic understanding enables to generate succinct cross lingual recommendations.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a process for extraction of oil from the Valeriana jatamansi Jones by Supercritical Fluid extraction (SFE) process with and without co-solvent. The extraction method is performed on the comminuted Valeriana jatamansi Jones using different mesh size of root/rhizome under a pressure ranging from about 220-360 bar and temperature about 45° C. utilizing carbon dioxide as a supercritical fluid. Further the volatile fractions are separated from the supercritical fluid at reduced pressure in the range of about 10-60 bar. Later the same material has been extracted with polar solvent (ethanol) as the co-solvent. The qualitative comparison of essential oil has been done between the essential oil obtained from Hydro distillation and Supercritical Fluid Extraction.

Abstract: A processor-implemented method of pre-processing for deep neural network compilation comprising receiving a representation of an artificial neural network (ANN) model. The ANN includes multiple nodes coupled by edges. Position information is determined for each node of the ANN. An operator embedding is generated to represent operators of the ANN model in an embedding space based on the position information. A graph neural network (GNN) processes the operator embedding to generate a graph embedding corresponding to the ANN model according to a learned distance metric and based on the position information. The GNN determines a set of hyperparameters for the ANN model based on the graph embedding.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for a coupon text generation system that generates new coupon text for existing coupons. The systems and methods automatically expand coupon-catalogs using a product class taxonomy hierarchy for merchants that identifies the different products, brands, or product classes for the merchant. The systems and methods create a plurality of new coupon text for a coupon provided by a merchant based on the product class taxonomy for the merchant. The text of the coupon text is rewritten to apply to the different products, brands, and product classes provided by the merchant. The coupons may be ranked, and the top results of the ranked coupons may be returned for presentation on a website.

Abstract: Data storage techniques for services in a network are described herein. In an example, a computer system determines a mapping between a first data schema associated with first data storage by a first service in a first data store and a second data schema associated with second data storage by a second service in a second data store. The computer system receives an event associated with an element and determines, based on the mapping and the event, an operation to be performed on a first attribute of the element that is stored in the first data store the second data store. The computer system generates, based on the mapping, notifications indicating a time for the operation associated with the first attribute to be performed by the first service and the second service. The computer system sends the notifications to the first service and to the second service.

Abstract: Placement of macros of a circuit design includes mapping the macros to types of sub-circuits of an integrated circuit (IC). The IC includes anchors and instances of each type of the types of sub-circuits. The macros are grouped based on couplings of the macros to the anchors specified in the circuit design. Each group includes one or more macros, and the one or more macros in each group are all coupled to the same set of one or more anchors. A location is selected from alternative locations for each group of macros based on a distance of the location from the same set of anchors. Each location includes one or more instances of one or more types of the types of sub-circuits. The circuit design is placed and routed after selecting the location for each group, and implementation data is generated for making an IC that implements the circuit design.
