Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of automatic mapping of a question or compliance controls associated with a compliance standard to compliance controls associated with another compliance standard. Reference controls having respective first subsets of text-based features are identified. A question having a second subset of the text-based features or custom controls having respective second subsets of the text-based features are identified. Scores for the respective reference controls are determined for the question or each custom control using a supervised natural language processing machine learning model based at least on the first subsets of the text-based features and the second subset(s) of the text-based features. A compliance map is generated by automatically mapping the question or each custom control to a respective subset of the reference controls using the supervised natural language processing machine learning model based at least on the scores.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed technologies receive first event data associated with a first party application, receive second event data representing a click, in the first party application, on a link to a third party application, receive third event data from the third party application, convert the third event data to a label, map a compressed format of the labeled third event data to the first event data and the second event data to create multi-party attribution data, group multiple instances of the multi-party attribution data into a batch, add noise to the compressed format of the labeled third event data in the batch, and send the noisy batch to a second computing device.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system that automatically correlates related instances of written feedback associated with a computer product to relevant telemetry data so that a performance and/or reliability issue associated with the computer product can be identified and fixed in a more efficient manner. The system applies a natural language processing model to instances of written feedback that have been received for the computer product to identify a cluster of instances of written feedback which describe the same issue. For each instance of written feedback in the cluster, the system uses an identification and a timestamp to retrieve a telemetry event log. The system analyzes the telemetry event logs to identify a common telemetry event. This effectively correlates meaningful written descriptions with common telemetry behavior(s). Information regarding this correlation is provided to a computing device of a user (e.g., a developer) tasked with examining the performance and/or reliability issue.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods that search videos and other media content to identify items, objects, faces, or other entities within the media content. Detectors identify objects within media content by, for instance, detecting a predetermined set of visual features corresponding to the objects. Detectors configured to identify an object can be trained using a machine learned model (e.g., a convolutional neural network) as applied to a set of example media content items that include the object. The systems provide user interfaces that allow users to review search results, pinpoint relevant portions of media content items where the identified objects are determined to be present, review detector performance and retrain detectors, providing search result feedback, and/or reviewing video monitoring results and analytics.

Abstract: Systems and methods for fault toleration actuation include an actuator with a position. A first sensor measures a first parameter associated with the actuator.

A fault detection module is configured to receive data from the first and second sensor, to receive sensor fusion data from the sensor fusion module, to compare the data received from the first and second sensor with the sensor fusion estimate, to identify an error in the data received from either of the first or second sensor based on the comparison, and to determine a fault exists in the first or second sensor based on the error.
