Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for deterministic dynamic shaping of traffic of a communication network are provided.

Abstract: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are destroyed by oxidation in supercritical conditions. PFAS in water can be concentrated and prepared for destruction in a pretreatment phase. Following annihilation of the PFAS in supercritical conditions to levels below 5 parts per trillion (ppt), the water effluent can be used to recover heat, returned to sub-critical conditions, and then released back into the environment.

Abstract: A visual bot designer displays a user interface that has a visual authoring canvas and a property pane. It can also have a serialized file display pane. A user can provide authoring inputs on any of the user interfaces, and the visual bot designer computing system generates and displays updates on the other parts of the user interface.

Abstract: Systems for plant culture include a chamber featuring one or more walls enclosing a spatial volume internal to the chamber, where the one or more walls include a surface for supporting a plant within the enclosed spatial volume, a gas delivery apparatus with at least one gas source, a nutrient delivery apparatus with a reservoir, a sampling apparatus connected to a port formed in the one or more walls, and a controller configured so that during operation of the system, the controller activates the nutrient delivery apparatus to deliver an aqueous growth medium to the plant, and activates the gas delivery apparatus to deliver into the enclosed spatial volume a mixture of isotopically-substituted gases. Also provided are methods of use of the system for measuring nitrogen in a plant and for identifying microbes capable of providing fixed nitrogen to a plant.

Abstract: A chatbot designer user interface (UI) has a visual authoring canvas that shows visual elements indicative of a logical flow of processing in a chatbot application. The designer UI receives an authoring input identifying a language processing system that is to be used during runtime. The chatbot application is configured to use the identified language processing system.

Abstract: A visual trigger node, indicative of a trigger, is displayed on a first display portion. A trigger configuration user interface is also displayed. A property input, indicative of a property that activates the trigger, is detected and code is generated to map the trigger to the property.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for routing events of an event stream in a stream processing system. One of the methods includes receiving, by a router, an event stream of events; identifying, for each event, by the router, a respective partition of context data that includes context data related to the event and providing the event to a respective local modeler that stores the partition of context data identified for the event in operational memory of the local modeler; processing, by each local modeler, events received from the router and aggregating information associated with each event to generate aggregated information; providing, by one or more of the local modelers, to a central modeler, the respective aggregated information; and determining, by the central modeler, a plurality of parameters of a machine learning model using the received aggregated information.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for stream processing. One method includes receiving an event stream of events by a first plurality of local modelers of a stream processing system. Each local modeler processes a portion of received events of the event stream according to a first set of operations, the operations including aggregating information associated with each event to generate aggregated information. One or more local modelers provide, to a first central modeler executing on the system, the respective aggregated information generated by one or more of the local modelers. A set of parameters of a respective machine learning model is determined using the received aggregated information.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for stream processing. One method includes receiving an event stream of first events by a first plurality of first local modelers of a stream processing system. Each local modeler processes a portion of received events of the event stream according to a first set of operations, the operations including aggregating information associated with each event to generate first aggregated information. A second plurality of second local modelers similarly generates second aggregated information from an event stream of second events. First and second local modelers provide, to a first central modeler, first and second aggregated information. A set of parameters of a respective machine learning model is determined by the first central modeler using the received aggregated information.

Abstract: A computer system for processing bidirectional characters includes a processor and memory. An application stored in the memory includes instructions that are executable by the processor and memory and that are configured to determine an embedding direction and at least one of output, export or display data including characters using bidirectional code. While at least one of outputting, exporting or displaying the data, the instructions are configured to parse a multi-segment data value including a plurality of segments and a delimiter arranged between adjacent ones of the plurality of segments. The delimiter includes two or more neutral type characters that are arranged immediately adjacent to one another. The delimiter causes the bidirectional code to apply the embedding direction to the delimiters of the multi-segment data value to maintain relative ordering of adjacent ones of the segments in the multi-segment data value.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for routing events of an event stream. One of the methods includes operations of receiving, by a router, events of an event stream; providing each event, by the router, to a respective local modeler selected by the router according to an initial routing strategy, the respective local modeler being selected from multiple local modelers; aggregating, by each local modeler in parallel, information associated with each event received by the local modeler to generate aggregated information; providing, to a central modeler, the aggregated information generated by the one or more local modelers; determining, by the central modeler, parameters of a machine learning model using the aggregated information received by the central modeler and generating an updated routing strategy based on the parameters of the machine learning model; and providing the updated routing strategy to the router.
