Abstract: In certain embodiments, pre-chat intent prediction and dialogue generation may be facilitated. In some embodiments, a chat initiation request may be obtained from a user. The latest activity information associated with the user may be provided to a prediction model to obtain predicted intents of the user. For each intent of the current intents, a candidate question may be selected from a question set based on the candidate question matching the intent. Within ten seconds of the chat initiation request, the candidate questions may be simultaneously presented on the chat interface. A user selection of a first question of the candidate questions may be obtained via the chat interface responsive to the presentation of the candidate questions. Based on the user selection and the first question matching a first intent of the predicted intents, the first intent may be provided as reference feedback for the prediction model.

Abstract: An apparatus for head-mounted displays may include (i) a flexible planar support frame, (ii) a left eye cup coupled to a left side of the flexible planar support frame and a right eye cup coupled to a right side of the flexible planar support frame, (iii) left-eye and right-eye display screen areas mounted to the flexible planar support frame such that the left-eye display screen area projects toward a left eye aperture defined by the left eye cup and the right-eye display screen area projects toward a right eye aperture defined by the right eye cup. The flexible planar support frame may be bendable such that the distance between projections of the left-eye and right-eye display screen areas onto a viewing plane varies as the flexible planar support frame bends, thereby adjusting for varying interpupillary distances. Various other devices, systems, and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: Described herein are techniques for improving the signal-to-noise ratio of a wireless sensor platform. The device that interrogates a wireless sensor node (an interrogator) may be configured to determine the quantity to be measured by extracting information from multiple echoes produced in response to multiple interrogation pulses or produced due to multi-path propagation. Although different echoes may have been transformed to different extents, the echoes may share unique characteristics that are specific to the wireless sensor node that produced them. Accordingly, the SNR may be improved by keeping only portions of the received signal that exhibit such characteristics. The SNR may be further improved by summing the echoes together. In some embodiments, the echoes may be summed together in a coherent fashion, thereby producing an echo having an amplitude greater than the amplitude of each of the received echoes.

Abstract: A method to minimize cache pressure using slot pressure profile (SPP)-guided Algorithm includes generating an intermediate SPP from a binary code of a DBMS. The generated intermediate SPP is received and a reference SPP is output. The reference SPP has a value assigned for each cache slot in a cache, whereby a cache slot value is indicative of cache pressure. The reference SPP is accepted and a candidate slot list related to the cache is produced by sorting the values in the reference SPP. A slot number among the candidate slot list is decided and passed to find an open memory address mapping to the decided slot number for a bee code, the bee code being a specialized version of a DBMS function created and loaded into the cache at run-time. A query with the bee code is executed using the open memory address found.
