Abstract: A method for data reduction may comprise computing (i) a first sketch of a first segment and (ii) a second sketch of a second segment. The first sketch and the second sketch may each comprise a set of features that are representative of or unique to the corresponding first and second segments.

Abstract: Various methods are using SQL based data extraction for extracting relevant information from images. These are rule based methods of generating SQL-Query from NL, if any new English sentences are to be handled then manual intervention is required. Further becomes difficult for non-technical user. A system and method for extracting relevant from the images using a conversational interface and database querying have been provided. The system eliminates noisy effects, identifying the type of documents and detect various entities for diagrams. Further a schema is designed which allows an easy to understand abstraction of the entities detected by the deep vision models and the relationships between them. Relevant information and fields can then be extracted from the document by writing SQL queries on top of the relationship tables. A natural language based interface is added so that a non-technical user, specifying the queries in natural language, can fetch the information effortlessly.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a backup storage system receives a request from a client to access a data segment. The system looks up an in-memory index for a first entry based on a fingerprint of the data segment, such that the in-memory index includes a number of entries, each entry mapping a fingerprint to a storage location of a solid state device (SSD) storing a corresponding data segment. In the event a first entry is found, the system retrieves the data segment from the SSD device based on the first entry. In the event of a read failure while accessing the SSD device, the system determines failed data blocks of the SSD device associated with the failure event and invalidates the failed data blocks of the SSD device such that subsequent access to the failed data blocks are denied without having to access a corresponding SSD device.

Abstract: A multi-dimensional dataset of discrete data, such as online analytical processing based multi-dimensional data, is received. The number of dimensions in the multi-dimensional dataset of discrete data is then identified. One or more levels of three-dimensional cubes of discrete data are then created equal to the number of dimensions in the multi-dimensional dataset divided by three rounded to the lowest positive integer. The discrete data of the one or more levels of three-dimensional cubes is encoded. A color palette is then associated with the encoded discrete data. As a result, a user is able to quantify and understand the effects to data in a multi-dimensional dataset from changes made in the system (e.g., adding/deleting/modifying business rules) in a more efficient and accurate manner.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for preserving trust data during operating system updates of a secure element of an electronic device are provide. An update package is received to update an existing secure element operating system to a new secure element operating system by exporting trust data from the existing secure element operating system, after the exporting, uninstalling the existing secure element operating system, migrating the exported trust data using a migration operating system when a data format version of the existing secure element operating system is different than a data format version of the new secure element operating system, installing the new secure element operating system, and importing the migrated trust data into the installed new secure element operating system.

Abstract: Techniques for providing an on-demand development environment are described. A service of a provider network receives a request to launch a development environment, such as a notebook, from an electronic device. The service obtains an identification of a computing cluster hosted by the provider network. The service obtains an identification of a compute instance hosted within the provider network, the compute instance executing a software environment to host one or more development environments. The service causes the compute instance to launch a development environment. The service sends a message to configure the launched development environment to execute a computer program written in the development environment using the computing cluster. The service generates a token to secure communications between the electronic device and the development environment and sends the token to an originator of the request.

Abstract: Heat exchanger assemblies and methods are provided for cooling the interior of an enclosure (e.g., electrical cabinets, computer server racks, chemical chambers, and animal cages). Heat is transferred via thermal conduction from a first plurality of surfaces positioned inside the enclosure to a second plurality of surfaces positioned outside the enclosure. The first and second plurality of surfaces remain in thermal contact with one another during use. Heat is dissipated from the second plurality of surfaces to the ambient air outside the isolated environment without the ambient outside air mixing together with the air inside the enclosure. This, in turn, inexpensively removes heat from the air inside the enclosure and prevents contaminants from entering the enclosure.
