Abstract: A statistical language model may be used to simulate one or more users of a conversation. The statistical language model may be used to train a user to participate in a particular types of conversation by simulating communications by another type of user in the conversation. The communications may be simulated by selecting a simulation context from available simulation contexts and the simulation context may correspond to a difficulty level. Upon receiving a communication from a user, a responsive simulated communication may be generated by processing the received communication and the simulation context with the statistical language model. Upon completion of the simulation, another simulation context may be selected for the next simulation.

Abstract: Light transport simulation algorithms or techniques may be used to generate a sample for a subsurface scattering of light, then a target function may be used to improve the sample. The target function may correspond to an amount of energy transported to the surface from within the object. The sample may be resampled using the sample and the target function to update a reservoir of samples. A resampled sample may be selected and used as a lighting sample for the subsurface scattering. Rather than using the resampled sample, it may be used with the target function to again update the reservoir and select another resampled sample from the updated reservoir. This may be performed for any number of iterations to determine the lighting sample for the frame. A backside lighting cache may be used in the ray tracing to determine lighting at the backside of the object.

Abstract: Machine learning-based approaches are used to detect trends of behavior and anomalous events from customer support messages between customers and customer support agents or other appropriate resources in an electronic environment. For example, for a plurality of time periods, a prediction model can be trained. The prediction models can be trained on messages that correspond to each prediction models' period of time. The prediction models can process messages to determine a score (e.g., a representative confidence score) for the time period a prediction model is associated with. For a selected time period, a model (e.g., a trend detection model) can be applied to the scores for time periods before the selected time period to determine whether the score for the selected time period is associated with an anomalous event. Thereafter, an alert can be presented with, for example, the messages that triggered the alert, among other such information.
