Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for responding to user posts containing images with relevant image responses during conversation between a user and a chatbot. The system receives an image post from the user and generates a description of the image using an image-to-text model. User intent is determined based on the image and description. If responding with an image is appropriate based on the user intent, the system generates a prompt using the image description and passes it to a text generation model to create an image description and caption. The image description and caption are used to synthesize a new image. The resulting image and caption are packaged into a post that is provided as a response to the user. The system uses machine learning pipelines and models to analyze images, detect inappropriate content, classify user intent, generate text, and synthesize images.

Abstract: Ghost routing is a network verification technique that uses a portion of a production network itself to verify the impact of potential network changes. Ghost routing logically partitions the production network into a main network and a ghost network. The main network handles live traffic while the ghost network handles traffic generated for diagnostic purposes. The ghost network may have a network topology identical to the production network and may use the same hardware and software as the production network. An operator may implement a network configuration change on the ghost network and then use verification tools to verify that the network configuration change on the ghost network does not result in bugs. Verifying on the ghost network may not affect the main network. If the network operator verifies the network configuration change on the ghost network, the network operator may implement the network configuration change on the main network.

Abstract: A primary database system loads database objects into a primary in-memory store according to a given format. The primary database captures, in replay logs, the loading of the database objects according to the given format. The primary database sends the replay logs to a secondary database system. In response to receiving a replay log, the secondary database checks the value of a log replay configuration parameter. If the configuration parameter is a first value, the secondary database replays the replay log to load the corresponding database objects into a secondary in-memory store according to a first format. If the configuration parameter is a second value, the secondary database replays the log to load the objects according to a second format, and if the configuration parameter is a third value, the secondary database replays the log to load the objects in a same format which was used by the primary database.

Abstract: Embodiments of this disclosure describe a method for synthesizing potassium 5,7-dinitro-[2,1,3]-benzoxadiazol-4-olate-3-oxide (benzofuroxan derivative). In the method, a nucleophilic displacement reaction was conducted between sodium azide and 3-chloro-2,4,6-trinitrophenol. The reaction was performed at a controlled temperature using a suitable reaction medium consisting of water and methanol. After the completion of the reaction, the mixture was allowed to cool down to room temperature. On further cooling, a solid precipitated out of the reaction mixture. The solid is filtered and air-dried to give the sodium analogue of the benzofuroxa derivative. The analogue is a crucial precursor of the benzofuroxan derivative. The sodium cation is subsequently replaced with potassium by carrying the precursor through a series of operations. First, it was treated with a methanolic hydrochloric acid. The treatment removed the sodium cation and introduced a proton in its place. Sodium chloride thus was filtration off.
