  • Publication number: 20230266729
    Abstract: An embodiment includes retrofitting an existing control device with an automation panel that senses manual actuation of a control element of the control device, and automatically actuates the control element in response to a specified control signal. The embodiment collects state data indicative of an actuation state of the control element and context data of conditions at a time that the state data is collected, and generates a training dataset comprising collected state data and sensor data. It then uses this data to train a classification model to predict a control element actuation state based on sensor data. The embodiment deploys the trained classification model to process sensor data and upon detecting a mismatch between a predicted actuation state output from the trained classification model and an actual actuation state of the control element, the embodiment transmits the specified control signal to the automation panel to actuate the control element.

  • Publication number: 20230237177
    Abstract: A pending data migration is detected, that is related to a set of one or more data blobs. The set of data blobs are stored on a source cloud object data store. The set of data blobs are retrieved, from the source cloud object data store. A security requirement for the set of data blobs is identified based on the set of data blobs and based on the source cloud object data store. A set of one or more potential target cloud object data stores from a set of additional cloud object data stores is determined. The set of data blobs is assigned, in response to the determination, to a first potential target cloud object data store of the set of potential target cloud object data stores.

  • Publication number: 20230229982
    Abstract: From a first set of natural language documents describing a demand for a movable physical item, a set of demand features is extracted. From a second set of natural language documents describing a supply of the movable physical item, a set of supply features is extracted. A correlation quantifying a relationship between the set of demand features and the set of supply features is computed. Using the correlation and the correlation trend, an attraction between the set of demand features and the set of supply features is modeled as a gravitational force. Using a routing determined according to the attraction, the movable physical item is caused to be transported.

  • Publication number: 20230229707
    Abstract: An embodiment includes analyzing a first digital image using a first trained neural network that classifies the first image as having a first context based on a plurality of characteristics of the first image. The embodiment generates a data structure that associates first and second elements depicted in the first image based on an affinity detected between the first and second elements in the first context. The embodiment executes a querying process that searches for information requested by a user, and detects that a search result from the querying process conveys a second context that is different from the first context. The embodiment identifies a third element in the data structure having an affinity with the first element in the second context. The embodiment renders a machine-generated image that is generated using a second trained neural network and depicts the first element and the third element in the second context.
