Abstract: A method for predicting service requests volume includes generating a machine learning model predicting a number of service requests in time series data, based upon a plurality of actually received service requests in the time series data. The method recommends service request features for use in predicting the service requests volume. The method receives a determination from an human-in-the-loop indicating whether the generated machine learning model correctly predicts the number of service requests in time series data, based on the plurality of actually received service requests in the time series data and the recommended service request features. The method selectively updates the machine learning model predicting the number of service requests in times series data, based upon the determination from the human-in-the-loop. The method predicts, using the updated machine learning model, a number of service requests in time series data incoming during a future time period.

Abstract: A datacenter management system uses data collection proxies to collect performance data and configuration data for different physical and virtual entities in the datacenter. A schema is used to represent the different entities, entity relationships, and entity properties in the datacenter. A search engine identifies the intent of a natural language based search query based on the schema and a datacenter dictionary. The search engine then searches the data based on the search query intent. A dictionary manager converts both periodic and aperiodic data into a time series. This allows the search engine to operate as a time machine identifying both performance data and configuration data for any selectable time period.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for high availability events in a layered architecture. In an example two computing nodes coordinate to provide a computing service, where each node has a base operating system configured to fence the other base operating system, and an application configured to fence the other application. In some examples, fencing requests by an application are routed through its base operating system, which coordinates application-level fencing requests and operating system-level fencing requests.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for providing alerts in an online learning environment is provided. An electronic gradebook is maintained for a teacher of an online learning environment and includes education related data for each student of the teacher. An event in the online learning environment is identified based on receipt of further education related data for one of the students of the teacher for entry into the electronic gradebook. Automatically upon receipt into the electronic gradebook, an alert is generated for the event by identifying a type of the further education related data received and selecting a template for the alert based on the type of the further education related data. The template is filled with the further education related data and recipients of the alert that are associated with the student are identified. The alert is delivered to the identified recipients.

Abstract: A storage system and method for boundary wordline data retention handling are provided. In one embodiment, the storage system includes a memory having a single-level cell (SLC) block and a multi-level cell (MLC) block. The system determines if the boundary wordline in the MLC block has a data retention problem (e.g., by determining how long it has been since the boundary wordline was programmed). To address the data retention problem, the storage system can copy data from a wordline in the SLC block that corresponds to the boundary wordline in the MLC block to a wordline in another SLC block prior to de-committing the data in the SLC block. Alternatively, the storage system can reprogram the data in the boundary wordline using a double fine programing technique.

Abstract: A Bowman's Refractive Index (BRI) for quantification of microdistortions in Bowman's Layer (BL) after Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE) is defined for a patient. BRI is summation of one or more areas of the OCT image of anterior edge of Bowman's layer, quantifies the smoothness of the Bowman's layer. The anterior edge of Bowman's layer is segmented into pixels. After segmentation, a 3rd order polynomial is curve fit to the segmented pixels of the edge of Bowman's layer. BRI is calculated by segmentation of the 3-Dimensional (3-D) OCT image. BRI acts as a marker for mechanical stability and is useful for diagnosis of disease and prognosis of treatments in human.

Abstract: A system provides notification of a time range for an order delivery. The system identifies estimated maximum delivery dates for each order in historical order data, and generates estimated minimum delivery dates for a first portion of the historical order data using a predictive model, wherein the predictive model is trained on a second portion of the historical order data.

The system also estimates a maximum delivery date for the order delivery based on a plurality of lead times, estimates a minimum delivery date for the order delivery using the predictive model with improved accuracy.
