Abstract: Methods, processing units and media for multi-bandwidth separated feature extraction convolution in a neural network are described. A convolution block splits input channels of an activation map into multiple branches, each branch undergoing convolution at a different bandwidth by using down-sampling of the inputs. The outputs are concatenated by up-sampling the outputs of the low-bandwidth branches using pixel shuffling. The concatenation operation may be a shuffled concatenation operation that preserves separated multi-bandwidth feature information for use by subsequent layers of the neural network. Embodiments are described which apply frequency-based and magnitude-based attention to the weights of the convolution kernels based on the frequency band locations of the weights.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods of quantitative amplicon sequencing, for labeling each strand of targeted genomic loci in a DNA sample with an oligonucleotide barcode sequence by polymerase chain reaction, and amplifying the genomic region(s) for high-throughput sequencing. The methods can be used for the simultaneous detection of copy number variation (CNV) in a set of genes of interest, by quantifying the frequency of extra copies of each gene. In addition, these methods provide for the quantitation of the allele ratio of different genetic identities for targeted genomic loci using multiplexed PCR. In addition, these methods provide for the detection of mutations and quantitation of the variant allele frequency.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for quantifying foreign cell-free DNA (cfDNA) via SNP profiling of low-volume blood sample. The methods allow for monitoring the status of organ transplant rejection through analysis of small volumes of patient capillary blood samples collected non-invasively with fingersticks or other devices. The methods also allow for guiding the dosage of immunosuppressant and for preparing for a new organ transplant in case of imminent organ failure.

Abstract: Implementations provide an improved system for presenting search results based on entity associations of the search items. An example method includes generating first-level clusters of items responsive to a query, each cluster representing an entity in a knowledge base and including items mapped to the entity, merging the first-level clusters based on entity ontology relationships, applying hierarchical clustering to the merged clusters, producing final clusters, and initiating display of the items according to the final clusters. Another example method includes generating first-level clusters from items responsive to a query, each cluster representing an entity in a knowledge base and including items mapped to the entity, producing final clusters by merging the first-level clusters based on an entity ontology and an embedding space that is generated from an embedding model that uses the mapping, and initiating display of the items responsive to the query according to the final clusters.

Abstract: Methods and systems for processing an image are described. A saliency map is generated from the image. The saliency map indicates one or more salient portions of the image that have saliency values satisfying a saliency criterion. A scene graph is generated for at least the one or more salient portions. The scene graph represents a plurality of objects detected in the image. The scene graph further represents one or more relationships between each respective object pairs. One or more dataset entries associated with the image are generated. Each of the one or more relationships for each of the one or more object pairs is indicated by a respective dataset entry. The one or more dataset entries are stored in a first dataset.

Abstract: A method of enhancing security in object based datastores is provided. The method mounts first and second datastores identified, respectively, by first and second datastore identifiers. The first and second datastores include, respectively, first and second namespace objects that are mapped to first and second subfolders in the first and second datastores. A first file within the first subfolder references a first object via a first object identifier, while a second file within the second subfolder references a second object via a second object identifier. The first and second objects are tagged with the first and second datastores' identifiers. The first and second datastores share an underlying storage and may be configured to have separate access permissions. The method receives a command to access the first object via a datastore identifier, compares the datastore identifier with the first datastore identifier, and if they match, allows access to the first object.

Abstract: The disclosure herein describes mounting a shared data store, remote from a client cluster, as a remote data store on the client cluster. An abstraction interface of the remote data store on the client cluster is configured to receive data operations that are in a local data store-based format. A control path interface is established between the server cluster and the client cluster, and network location data associated with the shared data store is received by the client cluster via the established control path interface. Based on the network location data, a data path interface is established between the client cluster and the shared data store of the server cluster, whereby data operations directed to the abstraction interface of the remote data store on the client cluster are routed to the shared data store of the server cluster via the established data path interface.

Abstract: Techniques for decoupling compute and storage resources in a hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) are provided. In one set of embodiments, a control plane of the HCI deployment can provision a host from a host platform of an infrastructure on which the HCI deployment is implemented and can provision one or more storage volumes from a storage platform of the infrastructure, where the storage platform runs on physical server resources in the infrastructure that are separate from the host platform. The control plane can then cause the one or more storage volumes to be network-attached to the host in a manner that enables a hypervisor of the host to make the one or more storage volumes available, as part of a virtual storage pool, to one or more virtual machines in the HCI deployment for data storage.

Abstract: Methods and systems for updating the weights of a set of convolution kernels of a convolutional layer of a neural network are described. A set of convolution kernels having attention-infused weights is generated by using an attention mechanism based on characteristics of the weights. For example, a set of location-based attention multipliers is applied to weights in the set of convolution kernels, a magnitude-based attention function is applied to the weights in the set of convolution kernels, or both. An output activation map is generated using the set of convolution kernels with attention-infused weights. A loss for the neural network is computed, and the gradient is back propagated to update the attention-infused weights of the convolution kernels.
