Abstract: Some embodiments include an experiment management interface for a machine learning system. The experiment management interface can manage one or more workflow runs related to building or testing machine learning models. The experiment management interface can receive an experiment initialization command to create a new experiment associated with a new workflow. A workflow can be represented by an interdependency graph of one or more data processing operators. The experiment management interface enables definition of the new workflow from scratch or by cloning and modifying an existing workflow. The workflow can define a summary format for its inputs and outputs. In some embodiments, the experiment management interface can automatically generate a comparative visualization at the conclusion of running the new workflow based on an input schema or an output schema of the new workflow.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a method of machine learner workflow processing. For example, a workflow execution engine can receive an interdependency graph of operator instances for a workflow run. The operator instances can be associated with one or more operator types. The workflow execution engine can assign one or more computing environments from a candidate pool to execute the operator instances based on the interdependency graph. The workflow execution engine can generate a schedule plan of one or more execution requests associated with the operator instances. The workflow execution engine can distribute code packages associated the operator instances to the assigned computing environments. The workflow execution engine can maintain a memoization repository to cache one or more outputs of the operator instances upon completion of the execution requests.

Abstract: A system and method that automatically detects that a regression incident has occurred, and identifies the particular revision(s) of source code that introduced the regression incident is disclosed herein. The system and method execute one or more simulations of each revision in a window of revisions of the source code to compute values for one or more metrics. The metric values are then used to compute regression confidence values as well as a regression confidence interval—to then detect a regression incident and identify the revision that caused the regression incident. The system and method can also identify subsequent revision(s) that sufficiently fix regression incident(s) caused by a revision such that a software developer can be informed of these fixing revisions.

Abstract: An airborne vegetation cutting assembly aerially suspended by an aircraft to simultaneously grapple and trim vegetation across a cutting plane that can be rotated and pivoted at multiple cutting angles. The assembly comprises a housing that contains the hydraulic mechanism and a power portion for operating the components. A tube extends from the aircraft to the housing. A knuckle detachably attaches the housing to the tube. Upper and lower grappling devices extend from the housing in a coplanar, spaced-apart relationship. The grappling devices grapple and release the vegetation independently of each other. A blade is coplanar with the grappling devices. The blade cuts a cross section of the vegetation along a cutting plane after the grappling devices grapple the vegetation. A connective knuckle rotates and pivots to enable rotational and pivotal control of the grappling devices and the blade, so as to change the orientation of the cutting plane.

Abstract: Embodiments improve the ability of users of a social networking system to search for information that is likely to be relevant to them by learning and/or applying a search context associated with selector components used to search for objects of the social networking system. The search context is specific to the use of an individual selector and thus need not be as general as the context of an entire page or set of pages in which selectors can be embedded. The social networking system may learn the context of a selector by monitoring user selections from prior search results performed using the selector.

Abstract: A social networking system leverages user's social information to evaluate content submitted for inclusion in objects. If the evaluated submission is accepted, the submission is added to the content of an object. Accepted submissions are also used to predict associations between metadata and objects. Metadata is used to predict which objects will match user searches for information. The social networking system also provides a user interface configured to prompt users to submit information to objects. When a user completes a submission to an object, the user is provided with other options for groups of objects to contribute to. The objects offered are chosen to increase the likelihood that the user will choose to provide submissions to one of the provided objects.

Abstract: A washing machine appliance and methods of operation are provided. The washing machine appliance generally includes an apron and a sub-washer unit suspended within the apron by a plurality of dampers. A measurement device is mounted on the sub-washer unit to measure the movement of the sub-washer unit. The movement of each damper is calculated based on the relative position of the damper and the measurement device. By monitoring the movement of each damper, the amount of energy dissipated by each damper during operation may be calculated and the operation of the washing machine appliance may be adjusted when the amount of energy dissipated and/or power level exceeds a predetermined energy threshold.
