Abstract: A communication method and apparatus. A session management function obtains at least one group of first association relationships, where the first association relationship is a correspondence between identification information of domain name system DNS handling information and the DNS handling information. The SMF sends, to an EASDF, the at least one group of first association relationships used for PDU sessions of a plurality of terminal devices, and sends, to the EASDF, a first message corresponding to a first PDU session, where the first information includes first identification information, and the first identification information is identification information of DNS handling information corresponding to the first PDU session. The EASDF receives the first association relationship and the first message, and determines, based on the first association relationship and the first identification information, the DNS handling information corresponding to the first PDU session.

Abstract: In some implementations, a credit decision platform may receive a credit request from an applicant and obtain domestic historical data associated with the applicant from a credit bureau device. The credit decision platform may obtain access to an email account associated with the applicant based on determining that the domestic historical data associated with the applicant is insufficient to process the credit request. The credit decision platform may identify, using one or more machine learning models, a set of email messages included in the email account that are relevant to the credit request and may analyze content included in the set of email messages to generate non-domestic historical data associated with the applicant. The credit decision platform may generate a decision on the credit request based on an estimated creditworthiness of the applicant, which may be determined based on the non-domestic historical data.

Abstract: In various examples, image processing techniques are presented for reducing artifacts in images for autonomous or semi-autonomous systems and applications. Systems and methods are disclosed for deferring at least a portion of a strength associated with a color correction matrix (CCM) of an image processing pipeline to one or more other stages associated with the image processing pipeline. For instance, the CCM is used to determine a first CCM and a second, deferred CCM. The first CCM may be associated with an earlier stage of the image processing pipeline while the deferred CCM is associated with a later stage of the image processing pipeline. In some examples, the deferred CCM is combined with another matrix, such as a color space conversion matrix. By deferring part of the CCM, the image processing pipeline may reduce a number of artifacts and/or eliminate the artifacts that occur when processing image data.

Abstract: A fully integrated circuit configuration that can be utilized to prevent abnormal discharge or overcharge in ultra-portable electronic systems is described. This battery protection integrated circuit can be enhanced by the addition of traditional battery protection schemes such as current limiting, overcurrent clamping, under voltage lock out and over voltage protection. This battery protection scheme utilizes a high side switch approach utilizing an ultra-low leakage PMOS power switch rather than the traditional low side NMOS switching.

Abstract: A method for processing an integrated circuit includes forming first and second gate all around transistors. The method forms a dipole oxide in the first gate all around transistor without forming the dipole oxide in the second gate all around transistor. This is accomplished by entirely removing an interfacial dielectric layer and a dipole-inducing layer from semiconductor nanosheets of the second gate all around transistor before redepositing the interfacial dielectric layer on the semiconductor nanosheets of the second gate all around transistor.

Abstract: The system obtains a recording of an interaction between a UE and a representative of a network. The system obtains a summary associated with the interaction, where the summary includes an indication of a topic representing a portion of the interaction, a time when the topic was present in the interaction, and a generator of the portion of the interaction associated with the topic. The system obtains multiple inputs associated with the multiple UEs and multiple representatives. The system provides the summary of the interaction and the multiple inputs to an AI configured to predict a likelihood of a predetermined action associated with the UE. The system receives from the AI the likelihood of the predetermined action. Based on the likelihood of the predetermined action, the system performs an action within a network prior to an occurrence of the predetermined action associated with the UE.

Abstract: The system obtains an undesirable action associated with the UE from multiple undesirable actions, including disassociating from the wireless telecommunication network or seeking another interaction with a representative of the wireless telecommunication network. The system obtains multiple key performance indices (KPIs) associated with the UE or the representative of the wireless telecommunication network. The system obtains multiple groups of representatives configured to connect to the UE, where a first group among the multiple groups is associated with fewer occurrences of the undesirable action than a second group among the multiple groups. Based on the KPIs associated with the UE, the system determines whether a likelihood of the undesirable action occurring is above a predetermined threshold. Upon determining that the likelihood of the undesirable action occurring is above the predetermined threshold, the system connects the UE with a representative from the first group.
