  • Publication number: 20230297778
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for machine learning systems to process incoming call-center calls to provide communication summaries that capture effort levels of statements made during interactive communications. For a given call, the system receives a transcript as the input and generates a textual summary as the output. In order to improve a call summary and customize a summarization task to a call center domain, the technology disclosed herein may employ a classifier that predicts an effort level and attention score for individual utterances within a call transcript, ranks the attention scores and uses selected ones of the ranked utterances in the summary.

  • Publication number: 20230235939
    Abstract: A temperature regulating apparatus can comprise a housing, an intake fan, an outlet fan, and one or more canisters containing a pressurized cooling gas, such as carbon dioxide, freon, nitrogen, difluoroethane, trifluoroethane, or tetrafluoroethane, positioned within the housing. The inlet fan draws warm air from outside of the housing into the housing through vent openings formed in the housing. Cooling gas is released from the cannisters when a temperature sensing device detects the ambient temperature is above a predetermined desired temperature, and the outlet fan blows cooled air out of the housing through the vent openings, whereby the ambient temperature outside of the housing can be cooled to the predetermined desired temperature.

  • Patent number: 11662996
    Abstract: A technique for downgrading applications to placeholder applications in order to free up storage space in a user device. Based on a variety of heuristics, a number of installed applications are identified as candidates for a downgrade. The downgrading of the identified applications involves creating a placeholder application for each of the identified applications. The identified applications are temporarily deleted while keeping the user data associated with the identified applications intact and the placeholder applications are installed.

  • Publication number: 20230100172
    Abstract: Techniques for automatic recognition of items for point of sale (POS) systems are disclosed. A request to identify a first item for purchase is received. The request includes a first image captured at a POS system. The first image is analyzed using a machine learning model configured for image recognition, and in response a first product code is determined for the first item. This includes identifying the first product code as a primary product code from among a plurality of product codes, identifying a second item relating to the first item, where the second item is visually similar to the first item, and determining a second product code for the second item. The first product code, and the second product code, are transmitted to the POS system. The POS system is configured to present the first item and the second item as options for purchase using a user interface.

  • Publication number: 20230100873
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a first processor to be communicatively coupled to a main memory having instructions stored therein. The first processor is to execute the instructions to assign a first tag to a plurality of granules in a first portion of memory allocated for an offloaded function invoked by a module running on a second processor, detect an exception raised for a tag check failure for a memory access operation based on a first memory address in the first portion of the memory, and update a modified address list to include information associated with the first memory address. The instructions are executed further to synchronize, based on the modified address list, a second portion of the memory allocated to the module with the first portion of the memory.

  • Publication number: 20230094658
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to electronic devices that can provide protected use of user-related information to applications, for generating user-specific outputs. The protected access may allow an application to process the user-related information within a processing environment of a processor that is separate from a primary processor of an electronic device. Within that processing environment, the application can utilize the user-related information to generate a user-specific output from the device. However, the application is prevented from extricating the user-related information, and information derived from the user-related information, from that processing environment.
