    Abstract: Described are techniques for preserving data security for sensitive information. The techniques including identifying sensitive information in first audio data from a first client device. The techniques further comprise generating second audio data including hashed sensitive information, where the hashed sensitive information comprises an audio clip that replaces the sensitive information and that is based on the sensitive information. The techniques further comprise transmitting the second data including the hashed sensitive information to a second client device. The techniques further comprise receiving third audio data including the hashed sensitive information from the second client device. The techniques further comprise generating fourth audio data by replacing the hashed sensitive information with the sensitive information and transmitting the fourth audio data including the sensitive information to the first client device.

  • Publication number: 20210374279
    Abstract: A device may generate a synthetic knowledge graph based on a true knowledge graph, may partition the synthetic knowledge graph into a set of synthetic data partitions, and may determine, using a plurality of teacher models, an aggregated prediction. The aggregated prediction may be based on individual predictions from corresponding individual teacher models included in the plurality of teacher models. The device may determine, using a student model and based on the synthetic knowledge graph and noise, a student prediction. The student model may be trained based on historical synthetic knowledge graphs and historical aggregated predictions associated with the plurality of teacher models. The device may determine an error metric based on the aggregated prediction and the student prediction, and may perform an action associated with the synthetic knowledge graph based on the error metric.

  • Publication number: 20210374127
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for operation of a feature management platform. A feature management platform is an end-to-end platform developed to manage the full lifecycle of data features. For example, to create a stateful feature, the feature management platform can receive a processing artifact from a computing device. The processing artifact defines the stateful feature, including the data source to retrieve event data from, when to retrieve the event data, the type of transform to apply, etc. Based on the processing artifact, the feature management system generates a processing job (e.g., the API defines a pipeline), which when initiated generates a vector that encapsulates the stateful feature. The vector is transmitted to the computing device that locally hosts a model, which generates a prediction that is transmitted to the feature management platform. Subsequently, the predication and stateful feature can be transmitted to other computing devices.

  • Publication number: 20210374007
    Abstract: Targetless snapshot schedules are defined by policy objects that include a snap creation interval, maximum snap count, and schedule ID. Multiple schedule IDs can be associated with a single storage object to implement different concurrent targetless snapshot schedules with a single storage object. Multiple storage objects may use the same targetless snapshot schedule independently. Because the targetless snapshot schedules are implemented independently, discard of old snapshots to maintain a snap count for a first storage object does not cause discard of snapshots for a second storage object. Further, discard of old snapshots to maintain a snap count for a first schedule does not cause discard of snapshots for a second schedule applied to the same storage object.
