  • Publication number: 20200364614
    Abstract: Approaches for using self-balancing shaped rewards include randomly selecting a start and goal state, traversing first and second trajectories for moving from the start state toward the goal state where a first terminal state of the first trajectory is closer to the goal state than a second terminal state of the second trajectory, updating rewards for the first and trajectories using a self-balancing reward function based the terminal states of the other trajectory, determining a gradient for the goal-oriented task module, and updating one or more parameters of the goal-oriented task module based on the gradient. The second trajectory contributes to the determination of the gradient and the first trajectory contributes to the determination of the gradient when the first terminal state is within a first threshold distance of the second terminal state or the first terminal state is within a second threshold distance of the goal state.

  • Publication number: 20200237097
    Abstract: A connector comprises a body, a first connection part, and a second connection part. The first connection part and the second connection part are respectively disposed at two adjacent side surfaces of the body of the connector. The first connection part and a horizontal rod are engaged, the second connection part and a vertical rod are engaged, to form a detachable connection between the horizontal rod and the vertical rod with the connector. Without dealing with an over edging operation of a boundary and a corner of the frame, the rattan pieces are directly connected to the horizontal rod or the vertical rod, to perform the weaving of the chair back, which greatly reduces the difficulty of weaving. The first side surface is a step shaped surface, which reduces the difficulty of the engaged connection between the first connection part and the horizontal rod. The connector is a one-piece structure.

  • Publication number: 20200005243
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system stores, in a repository, a set of configurable rules for managing hiring workflows in an applicant tracking system, wherein each configurable rule in the set of configurable rules includes a trigger representing activity associated with an online network, a condition to be evaluated in response to the trigger, and an action to be performed when the condition is met. Next, the system matches recent activity associated with a candidate in an applicant tracking system to the trigger in a configurable rule from the repository. Next, the system evaluates the condition from the configurable rule using attributes associated with the candidate. When the condition is met by the attributes, the system automatically performs the action specified in the configurable rule to advance the candidate through the hiring workflow in the applicant tracking system.
