Abstract: The present disclosure provides for maintaining a steady load on a global database. In a global database with regionalized replication, some requests are handled by a global clone in a region, as opposed to the global database. If the global clone in the region is not up to date, the request may “fallback,” where it is redirected to the global database. By serving some requests at the global clone, instead of the global database, the traffic to the global data may be significantly reduced. However, the global database has different mechanisms which depend on a steady load. Accordingly, the present disclosure provides a mechanism for maintaining a constant load on the global database, despite regionalized replication. Maintaining a constant load ensures that the global database will be able to handle fallbacks when request to clones fail.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides for consistent reads in a global database that is replicated to one or more global clones. A state machine is implemented, and executed independently, for each project in each region. Based on the state of a project when a read request is received, the read request will be served by the global database, served by the global clone, or ignored as an invalid request.

Abstract: A system and method for enabling data replication is described. A set of protocol messages can be associated with a set of corresponding set of requests. The associated set of protocol messages can be provided to each of a source storage system and a destination storage system. The source storage system and the destination storage system can be heterogeneous storage systems that implement different types of file systems or file layouts. The source storage system and the destination storage system are enabled to perform a data replication process, in which at least a set of data is to be replicated from the source storage system to the destination storage system, using at least a protocol message from the associated set of protocol messages. The protocol message can correspond to a request for a list of snapshots stored at the source storage system.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for enhancing functions and formulas in spreadsheets. A computing apparatus detects a beginning of a formula in a cell of a spreadsheet. In response to detecting the beginning of the formula, the computing apparatus identifies one or more vector representations of a context of the cell and supplies the one or more vector representations as input to one or more machine learning models. The one or more machine learning models produce output comprising one or more suggested functions for the formula and one or more suggested operands, which the computing apparatus presents in a user interface to the spreadsheet.

Abstract: A spoken dialog system and methods of using the system is described. A method may comprise: receiving audible human speech from a user; determining textual speech data based on the audible human speech; extracting, from the audible human speech, signal speech data that is indicative of acoustic characteristics which correspond to the textual speech data; and using the textual speech data and the signal speech data, generating a response to the audible human speech.

Abstract: A method for clustering product media files is provided. The method includes dividing each media file corresponding to one or more products into a plurality of tiles. The media file include one of an image or a video. Feature vectors are computed for each tile of each media file. One or more patch clusters are generated using the plurality of tiles. Each patch cluster includes tiles having feature vectors similar to each other. The feature vectors of each media file are compared with feature vectors of each patch cluster. Based on comparison, product groups are then generated. All media files having comparison output similar to each other are grouped into one product group. Each product group includes one or more media files for one product. Apparatus for substantially performing the method as described herein is also provided.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for automatically generating a shoppable video. A video is parsed into one or more scenes. Products and their corresponding product information are automatically associated with the one or more scenes. The shoppable video is then generated using the associated products and corresponding product information such that the products are visible in the shoppable video based on a scene in which the products are found.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for intelligently adapting content presented in electronic forms. In some embodiments, a processor provides access to multiple instances of a first version of an electronic form by multiple clients based on determining that insufficient data exists in a data source for a category of information. The first version of the form can include content for soliciting data associated with the category of information. The processor can receive responsive electronic communications in response to providing access to the first version of the form. The processor can provide access to multiple instances of a second version of the electronic form by multiple clients based on determining from the received responses whether sufficient data exists for the category of information. The second version of the electronic form can omit or replace the content for soliciting data associated with the category of information.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a mechanism for converting an existing mirror relationship between an original dataset at a source storage system and a copy of the original dataset at a destination system to a new mirror without discarding the existing copy of the original dataset and without transferring data to create a new dataset to replace the copy of the original dataset at the destination storage system. Rather, a directory structure (including file attributes) of the source storage system is transferred to the destination storage system and a comparison is made to identify file attributes at the destination system that match the transferred file attributes. If a match is found, a mapping between the matched file attributes is created. Subsequent updates to the to destination storage system can be done using a technique other than the one that was used to create a copy of the source dataset.
