  • Publication number: 20210295210
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for auditing the results of a machine learning model includes: retrieving a set of state estimates for original time series data values from a database under audit; reversing the state estimation computation for each of the state estimates to produce reconstituted time series data values for each of the state estimates; retrieving the original time series data values from the database under audit; comparing the original time series data values pairwise with the reconstituted time series data values to determine whether the original time series and reconstituted time series match; and generating a signal that the database under audit (i) has not been modified where the original time series and reconstituted time series match, and (ii) has been modified where the original time series and reconstituted time series do not match.

  • Patent number: 11081116
    Abstract: In general, techniques are described by which to embed enhanced audio transports in backward compatible bitstreams. A device comprising a memory and one or more processors may be configured to perform the techniques. The memory may store the backward compatible bitstream, which conforms to a legacy transport format. The processor(s) may obtain, from the backward compatible bitstream, legacy audio data that conforms to a legacy audio format, and obtain, from the backward compatible bitstream, extended audio data that enhances the legacy audio data. The processor(s) may also obtain, based on the legacy audio data and the extended audio data, enhanced audio data that conforms to an enhanced audio format, and output the enhanced audio data to one or more speakers.

  • Patent number: 10999397
    Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for performing a clustered coherent cloud read cache without coherency messaging. At a cloud reader agent having a read cache, a request for a particular portion of data is received from a client. The request includes an identifier of the node making the request, a current time on the node making the request, a last stubbed time of the particular portion of data, and/or an identifier of the particular portion of data. When the particular portion of data is stored in the read cache of the cloud reader agent, the cloud reader agent can determine whether the cached particular portion of data is valid based, at least in part, upon the received identifier of the node making the request, the received last stubbed time of the particular portion of data, and/or, a stored time associated with the cached particular portion of data.

  • Patent number: 10969932
    Abstract: A preferred contact group centric interface for a communication device can be used to facilitate communications by a user. The user interface can be arranged to activate from a user's “home page” on the display, from an idle screen that is accessed after a timeout period expires, or any other appropriate mechanism that activates the preferred contact group centric experience. A user selects the preferred contact group from among an array of the user's contacts. Once the contact group is configured, a minimal number of navigation/selection features is necessary to activate any number of communication modes available to the contacts. The contact group is configured such that simple and quick navigation between the contact members is achieved. The contact group can be presented in 2D and 3D arrangements, in any number of list or geometric configurations. A pricing plan can optionally be tied to each member of the contact group.

  • Patent number: 10963569
    Abstract: A security driver loads early in the boot process for a compute instance and detects processes that are subsequently launched and/or terminated. The detected processes can be recorded, and then scanned with any suitable malware scanning tool(s) once a user mode is available on the compute instance, including any processes that are terminated before such scanning tools are launched. After the operating system is installed and a user mode is available, other scanning tools may also be deployed (e.g., in the user mode) to augment security of the compute instance.

  • Patent number: 10949756
    Abstract: A system and method of creating electronic characters in one or more electronic formats, selectively customizing the characters, and presenting them via electronic channels in response to satisfaction of one or more programmable conditions is disclosed. The system enables entities to competitively bid to customize the personality and/or other attribute of a character. For example, a character may be presented via an electronic channel to an audience (e.g., one or more end users who view, listen to, or otherwise experience a character through an electronic channel). An entity may bid on altering that character's personality and/or other attribute. If the entity's bid is selected by the system (e.g., over other bids that also compete to alter one or more attributes of that character), the system customizes the character's personality and/or other attribute according to the winning bid's customization, and presents the customized character via the electronic channel to the audience.
