Abstract: A document management system identifies policies specific to an entity's domain and applies relevant policies to documents managed by the entity. The document management system identifies a portion of the document with a triggering property associated with the entity's domain and tags that portion with an application programming interface (API) plug-in. After the document is transmitted to a recipient, the document management system activates the API plug-in. The API plug-in runs a function on the document, applying a subset of the entity's policies to the document.

Abstract: A user interface (UI), for analyzing model training runs, tracking and visualizing various aspects of machine learning experiments, can be used when training an artificial intelligent agent in, for example, a racing game environment. The UI can be web-based and can allow researchers to easily see the status of their experiments. The UI can include an experiment synchronized event viewer that can synchronizes visualizations, videos, and timeline/metrics graphs in the experiment. This viewer allows researchers to see how experiments unfold in great detail. The UI can further include experiment event annotations that can generate event annotations. These annotations can be displayed via the synchronized event viewer. The UI can be used to consider consolidated results across experiments and can further consider videos. For example, the UI can provide a reusable dashboard that can capture and compare metrics across multiple experiments.

Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for providing recommendations for sets of security operations for improving security of documents created or executed within an online document system. A supplier entity may select sets of security operations to be performed for a request provided to a signing entity. The online document system computes an aggregate measure of security for the selected sets of security operations and compares it to a threshold measure of security. If the aggregate measure is less than the threshold measure, the online document system uses a machine-learned model to identify additional sets of security operations that when added, results in an updated aggregate measure of security greater than the threshold. The additional sets of security operations are presented to the supplier entity for inclusion within a security operation workflow in combination with the selected sets of security operations.

Abstract: Experience replay (ER) is an important component of many deep reinforcement learning (RL) systems. However, uniform sampling from an ER buffer can lead to slow convergence and unstable asymptotic behaviors. Stratified Sampling from Event Tables (SSET), which partitions an ER buffer into Event Tables, each capturing important subsequences of optimal behavior. A theoretical advantage is proven over the traditional monolithic buffer approach and the combination of SSET with an existing prioritized sampling strategy can further improve learning speed and stability. Empirical results in challenging MiniGrid domains, benchmark RL environments, and a high-fidelity car racing simulator demonstrate the advantages and versatility of SSET over existing ER buffer sampling approaches.

Abstract: Various embodiments support or provide for an extensible electronic claim verification system that offers extensible support for electronic verification by one or more external electronic claim verification services that are external to the extensible electronic claim verification system. For some embodiments, the extensible claim verification system is readily configurable (e.g., by a user) to add or remove access to one or more external claim verification services available for use through the extensible electronic claim verification system by a client device. Some embodiments implement the extensible support by using a unified protocol for interfacing with different external claim verification services. By use of the unified protocol, various embodiments enable an external claim verification service to plug into an extensible claim verification system, thereby permitting a user to extend support of the extensible claim verification system to different types of external claim verification services.
