Abstract: Systems and methods for training models to predict dense correspondences across images such as human images. A model may be trained using synthetic training data created from one or more 3D computer models of a subject. In addition, one or more geodesic distances derived from the surfaces of one or more of the 3D models may be used to generate one or more loss values, which may in turn be used in modifying the model's parameters during training.

The inner roof panel is separate from the outer roof panel and is secured to the outer roof panel. The inner roof panel includes a plurality of roof headers, a roof bow, and support braces. The roof headers are spaced apart from each other and extend in a transverse direction relative to a longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The roof bow is spaced apart from and positioned between two roof headers of the plurality of roof headers and extends in the transverse direction. Each support brace is positioned between the roof bow and one of the two roof headers. The support braces extend from the roof bow to the one of the two roof headers and extend in multiple directions.

Abstract: A selective thermal atomic layer deposition (ALD) process is disclosed. The process may comprise loading a substrate comprising a dielectric material, and a metal, into a reactor. The substrate may be reacted with a non-plasma based oxidant, thereby forming an oxidized metal surface on the metal. The substrate may be heated and exposed to a passivation agent that adsorbs more onto the oxidized metal than the dielectric material. Such exposure may form a passivation layer on the oxidized metal surface, and the substrate may be exposed to a silicon precursor that adsorbs more onto the dielectric material than the passivation layer, forming a chemi-adsorbed silicon-containing layer on the dielectric material. The substrate may be exposed to the non-plasma based oxidant, that simultaneously partially oxidizes the passivation layer, and oxidizes the chemi-adsorbed silicon-containing layer to form a silicon-containing dielectric film on the dielectric material.

Abstract: Certain embodiments disclosed herein reduce or eliminate a communication bottleneck at the storage manager by reducing communication with the storage manager while maintaining functionality of an information management system. In some implementations, a client obtains information for enabling a secondary storage job (e.g., a backup or restore) from a storage manager and stores the information (which may be referred to as job metadata) in a local cache. The client may then reuse the job metadata for multiple storage jobs reducing the frequency of communication with the storage manager. When a configuration of the information management system changes, or the availability of resources changes, the storage manager can push updates to the job metadata to the clients. Further, a client can periodically request updated job metadata from the storage manager ensuring that the client does not rely on out-of-date job metadata.

Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to determining physical zone data within a zoned namespace solid state drive (SSD), associated with logical zone data included in a first received input-output operation based on a mapping data structure within a namespace of the zoned namespace SSD. A second input-output operation specific to the determined physical zone data is generated wherein the second input-output operation and the received input-output operation is of a same type. The generated second input-output operation is completed using the determined physical zone data within the zoned namespace SSD.

Abstract: Various techniques are used to schedule computing jobs for execution by a computing resource. In an example method, a schedule is generated by selecting, for a first slot in the schedule, a first computing job based on a first priority of the first computing job with respect to a first characteristic. A second computing job is selected for a second slot in the schedule based on a second priority of the second computing job with respect to a second characteristic. The second slot occurs after the first slot in the schedule, and the second characteristic is different than the first characteristic. The first characteristic or the second characteristic includes an execution frequency. The computing jobs are executed based on the schedule.

Abstract: Techniques for enrolling a user in a system's user recognition functionality without requiring the user speak particular speech are described. The system may determine characteristics unique to a user input. The system may generate an implicit voice profile from user inputs having similar characteristics. After an implicit voice profile is generated, the system may receive a user input having speech characteristics similar to that of the implicit voice profile. The system may ask the user if the user wants the system to associate the implicit voice profile with a particular user identifier. If the user responds affirmatively, the system may request an identifier of a user profile (e.g., a user name). In response to receiving the user's name, the system may identify a user profile associated with the name and associate the implicit voice profile with the user profile, thereby converting the implicit voice profile into an explicit voice profile.

Abstract: A set of one or more potentially graspable features for one or more objects present in a workspace area are determined based on visual data received from a plurality of cameras. For each of at least a subset of the one or more potentially graspable features one or more corresponding grasp strategies are determined to grasp the feature with a robotic arm and end effector.

A first feature of the one or more potentially graspable features is selected to be grasped using a selected grasp strategy based at least in part on a corresponding score associated with the selected grasp strategy with respect to the first feature. The robotic arm and the end effector are controlled to attempt to grasp the first feature using the selected grasp strategy.
