Abstract: A system and method to authorize requests for procedures or medical claim requests is described. In one aspect, datasets from multiple data sources, including historical authorizations associated with various medical claims, are processed. The machine learning engines and the machine learning models are trained based on the received data. Simultaneously, real-time authorization requests are received and analyzed from secondary data sources. Each request is split into service requests based on second attributes, which include identifiers linked to services. The services are encoded using fixed-length encoding, and unique numeric identifiers are assigned to categorical variables. For each encoded service request, contexts, actions, and decisions are determined by comparing the first attributes of historical authorization requests with the second attributes of real-time requests.

Abstract: A data management system (DMS) may support authentication of a host using a non-addressable domain controller within a network. The DMS may obtain a list of domain controllers within the network and create an account at a domain controller on the list via a virtual machine instantiated within the network and used to create a tunnel between the DMS and the virtual machine The DMS may receive, via a port, a packet from a host within the network and route the packet, using a demultiplexer configured to monitor the port, to a storage entity. The storage entity may transmit, via the port to the domain controller, a request to authenticate the host, the request bypassing the demultiplexer that is configured not to monitor the port when the storage entity operates in a client mode. The DMS may receive an indication of whether the host is authenticated from the domain controller.

Abstract: A technique identifies regions of an image characterized by constant pixel intensity in a resource-efficient, latency-efficient, and scalable manner. The technique involves: obtaining a candidate image; determining whether the candidate image contains a contiguous region of pixels having intensity values within a specified range of intensity values; assessing whether the contiguous region satisfies a prescribed test; and selecting or excluding the candidate image for further processing based on a result of the assessing. The operation of determining involve two phases. First, the technique determines a distribution of intensity values within the candidate image. Second, the technique leverages the distribution to search the candidate image for neighboring pixels having intensity values within the specified range of intensity values, beginning from a selected starting pixel in a qualifying subset of pixels.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to managing access to 5G cellular baseband resources for 5G-capable wireless devices. A wireless device can monitor application workloads by analyzing communication network performance requirements for a given application in-use or launching for future use along with system-level indications of overall device usage, battery level, and mobility status to determine whether access to 5G cellular baseband resources is recommended for an application. A 5G cellular baseband resource recommendation is provided for an application indicating a level of bandwidth in current use or expected for future use as well as a confidence metric in the bandwidth level indication. The 5G cellular baseband resource recommendation is used with additional device criteria to determine whether access to one or more 5G radio frequency bands is allowed.

Abstract: Examples are directed to systems and methods that cause a first user interface having an input field that receives a search query to be displayed. A search query having an attribute of a first entity is received at the input field. Data records are searched for a second entity using the attribute when the search query is received. A second user interface is displayed that has a data record for the second entity. The data record lists the attribute and an additional attribute of the second entity. The second user interface has a drill down user interface that lists the attribute and the additional attribute. The attribute and the additional attribute are selectable to reconfigure the second user interface. The second user interface has a selectable option to create a new data record where the option corresponds to an indication that the first entity is different from the second entity.
