Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for improving the accuracy of embedding vector generation for domain-specific text for purposes of semantic search and generative AI. A dictionary of domain-specific terms can be built to include embedding vectors generated for respective domain-specific terms using a pre-trained large language model. A list of domain-specific terms pertaining to a particular domain can be identified and textual content comprising a description or a definition of a respective domain-specific term can be obtained. A domain-adapted embedding vector for each domain-specific term can be generated based on the textual content for that term. The domain-specific dictionary can be built to include a combination of a domain-specific term, a corresponding domain-adapted embedding vector and the domain-specific term definition or description.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to verifying that an alias value is unique across multiple different network regions. In various embodiments a server system located in a first network region may maintain an alias map that specifies encoded versions of alias values that are in use across multiple different network regions. For example, for a given alias value, the alias map may specify a corresponding encoded version of the alias value and an identifier for a given one of the network regions with which the given alias value is associated. In various embodiments, the server system may receive a user-provided alias value from a user during an account registration process and, using the alias map, determine whether the user-provided alias value is already in use in any of the network regions.

Abstract: A digital signaling device provides visual, audible, and haptic indicators when the digital signaling device changes state. The digital signaling device has a same operational feel and response as a classic electro-mechanical decorator-style light switch, including maintaining switch paddle position, using attractive magnetic latching in combination with a spring contact. The switch paddle can be pressed into one of two positions, each position representing a different state of the digital signaling device. The switch paddle provides a visual indicator of the digital signaling device state in that the switch paddle is maintained in one of the two positions. The attractive magnetic latching provides both an audible and haptic indicator when the magnet pairs are engaged, which corresponds to a change of state of the digital signaling device. The spring contact provides a digital switching mechanism for changing the state of the digital signaling device.
