Abstract: A system and method for selectively utilizing an over-the-air broadcast source to provide low-latency content as an alternative to conventional over-the-top sourced content. The disclosed technology can provide automatic switching to an available low-latency content source, or switch to a low-latency source only after a user affirmatively elects such. The system and method are implemented utilizing standard premises equipment, and enable the insertion of regional commercial messages into the low-latency content stream prior to viewing.

Abstract: A system and method for the management of digital assistants enabling the generation and issuance of audible user reminders in response to previous digital assistant requests issued by the user. In particular, the issued reminder is related to the operation or state of a particular system or device controlled or otherwise impacted as a consequence of the user's previous digital assistant request. Such reminders are issued after a predetermined time has elapsed after the issuance of the digital assistant request. The reminders can be persistent until the system receives an acknowledgement from the user or feedback that the state or operation of the particular impacted system or device has been altered.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques that include a method for estimating healthcare costs, the method comprising applying, by a computing system, a machine learning (ML) model to a user subgraph of a current user to generate an estimated healthcare cost of the current user for a future time period, wherein the user subgraph of the current user is graph data comprising nodes and edges that represent information associated with medical care of the current user; and generating, by the computing system, a user interface including a budget for the future time period that includes the estimated healthcare cost and a list of selectable medical expense categories, wherein each of the selectable medical expense categories includes an associated cost.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatus, systems, computing devices, computing entities, and/or the like for processing an inclusion of an entity for an event. In accordance with one embodiment, a method is provided that includes: determining whether a graph representation data object comprises an inbound edge connecting an entity node representing the entity with an event node representing the event; and responsive to determining the graph representation data object comprises the inbound edge, performing an action involving inclusion of the entity for the event. The inbound edge is generated via an inbound edge generator machine learning model configured to: traverse entity and/or inclusion edges of the graph representation data object to identify inclusion and entity edges connected, generate an entity score data object for the entity based at least in part on the inclusion edges, and responsive to the data object satisfying a threshold, generate the inbound edge.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention provide methods, apparatus, systems, computing devices, computing entities, and/or the like for performing predictive data analysis operations. For example, certain embodiments of the present invention utilize systems, methods, and computer program products that perform predictive data analysis operations by using a graph-based recurrence classification machine learning framework that includes a graph neural network machine learning model and a recurrence classification machine learning model, where the recurrence classification machine learning model is configured to generate a predicted recurrence classification based at least in part on one or more graph-based features generated by a graph neural network machine learning model and one or more entity features associated with an entity identifier for an incoming event.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an autonomous vehicle with an emergency escape mode. When fleeing a scene is critical, embodiments provide an AV that can operate in an emergency escape mode (EEM) to enable the AV to flee a scene, protecting its occupants. Typically, a passenger or operator invokes EEM in an AV when they are in imminent danger from criminal activity such as carjacking. A least resistance route can be computed to determine an escape route that provides for reduced chance of injury and/or increased probability of a successful escape.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for manipulation of a respiratory model via adjustment of parameters associated with model images is described. The method includes identifying one of more images of a plurality of images that are used with a previously generated model associated with a position and motion of a targeted region of a patient to receive radiation treatment. The method also includes generating, by a processing device, a new model to be associated with the position and motion of the targeted region based on a selection that is associated with one of the one or more images of the plurality of images, wherein the new model is a relationship between a series of internal features and external marker positions. The method further includes delivering radiation to the targeted region based on the new model.

A selection associated with one of the images of the sorted subset may be received by the GUI. Furthermore, a new model to identify the targeted region based on the selection that is associated with one of the two or more images may be generated.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a combustor assembly for a gas turbine engine comprising a bulkhead wall extended generally along a radial direction relative to a combustor centerline and a mixer disposed concentric to the nozzle centerline. The bulkhead wall defines one or more openings therethrough adjacent to a combustion chamber. Each of the openings defines a nozzle centerline extended along a lengthwise direction. The mixer comprises a retaining wall extended along a radial direction relative to the nozzle centerline and coupled to the upstream side of the bulkhead wall. The mixer further comprises an annular shroud extended at least partially through the one or more openings of the bulkhead wall. The mixer defines a cooling passage through the retaining wall and the annular shroud. The cooling passage defines an inlet opening through the retaining wall and an outlet opening through the annular shroud.
