Abstract: In hemodynamic determination in medical imaging, the classifier is trained from synthetic data rather than relying on training data from other patients. A computer model (in silico) may be perturbed in many different ways to generate many different examples. The flow is calculated for each resulting example. A bench model (in vitro) may similarly be altered in many different ways. The flow is measured for each resulting example. The machine-learnt classifier uses features from medical scan data for a particular patient to estimate the blood flow based on mapping of features to flow learned from the synthetic data. Perturbations or alterations may account for therapy so that the machine-trained classifier may estimate the results of therapeutically altering a patient-specific input feature. Uncertainty may be handled by training the classifier to predict a distribution of possibilities given uncertain input distribution.

Abstract: A system maintains a queue structure used for storing packets and comprising a plurality of sub-queues used to process the packets, wherein the packets in the queue structure are to be dequeued by a scheduler. The system computes a respective packet virtual time for a respective packet based on at least a packet virtual time of a previous packet processed by the same sub-queue. The system computes a global virtual time based on a packet virtual time of a packet being dequeued from the queue structure. The system measures a rate at which the global virtual time progresses based on the virtual time of packets dequeued from the queue structure. The system manages congestion in the sub-queues based on the rate at which the global virtual time progresses, a metric of a respective sub-queue, and an amount of a resource for the queue structure.

Abstract: A system maintains a queue for storing packets, which are enqueued at a tail of the queue and dequeued at a head of the queue. The system computes a queue utilization value, based on the packets stored in the queue. The system computes an excess amount value, based on the packets stored in the queue and previously tagged as excess packets. The system receives a first packet at the tail of the queue and determines whether a difference between the queue utilization value and the excess amount value exceeds a predetermined threshold. Responsive to determining that the difference exceeds the predetermined threshold, the system tags the first packet as an excess packet. Responsive to tagging the first packet as an excess packet, the system performs an operation associated with the first packet or a second packet at the head of the queue to reduce congestion.

Abstract: A system maintains ordered sub-queues used for storing packets, which are to be dequeued by a scheduler. A respective is enqueued into a sub-queue, and a virtual time associated with the respective packet is based on a current sub-queue virtual time corresponding to a previously enqueued packet in the sub-queue. The system dequeues, by the scheduler, a first packet from a selected sub-queue and determines a packet virtual time associated with a next packet in the currently selected sub-queue. Responsive to determining that the packet virtual time associated with the next packet is greater than a current global virtual time, the system selects a next sub-queue in the ordered plurality of sub-queues. The system updates the current global virtual time based on a packet virtual time of the dequeued first packet.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for optimally allocating resources used to perform multiple tasks/jobs, e.g., machine learning training jobs. The possible resource configurations or candidates that can be used to perform such jobs are generated. A first batch of training jobs can be randomly selected and run using one of the possible resource configuration candidates. Subsequent batches of training jobs may be performed using other resource configuration candidates that have been selected using an optimization process, e.g., Bayesian optimization. Upon reaching a stopping criterion, the resource configuration resulting in a desired optimization metric, e.g., fastest job completion time can be selected and used to execute the remaining training jobs.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for employing a machine learning-based approach such as adaptive Bayesian optimization to learn over time the most optimized assignments of incoming network requests to service function chains (SFCs) created within network slices of a 5G network. An optimized SFC assignment may be an assignment that minimizes an unknown objective function for a given set of incoming network service requests. For example, an optimized SFC assignment may be one that minimizes request response time or one that maximizes throughput for one or more network service requests corresponding to one or more network service types. The optimized SFC for a network request of a given network service type may change over time based on the dynamic nature of network performance. The machine-learning based approaches described herein train a model to dynamically determine optimized SFC assignments based on the dynamically changing network conditions.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for updating resource allocation in a distributed network. For example, the method may comprise allocating a plurality of resource containers in a distributed network in accordance with a first distributed resource configuration. Upon determining that a processing workload value exceeds a stabilization threshold of the distributed network, determining a resource efficiency value of the plurality of resource containers in the distributed network. When a resource efficiency value is greater than or equal to the threshold resource efficiency value, the method may generate a second distributed resource configuration that includes a resource upscaling process, or when the resource efficiency value is less than the threshold resource efficiency value, the method may generate the second distributed resource configuration that includes a resource outscaling process. The resource allocation may transmit the second to update the resource allocation.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for optimizing a serverless workflow. Given a directed acyclic graph (“DAG”) defining functional relationships and a gamma tuning factor to indicate a preference between cost and performance, a serverless workflow corresponding to the DAG may be optimized.

In addition, systems for allowing disparate types of storage media to be utilized by a serverless platform to store data are disclosed. The serverless platforms maintain visibility of the storage media types underlying persistent volumes, and may store data in partitions across disparate types of storage media. For instance, one item of data may be stored partially at a byte addressed storage media and partially at a block addressed storage media.
