Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, devices, and computer program products are described. A flow generation service may receive a natural language input that indicates instructions for automating a task according to a first process flow. Using a large language model (LLM), the flow generation service may decompose the natural language input into a set of elements (e.g., logical actions) and connectors, where the LLM may be trained on first metadata corresponding to a second process flow that is created manually by a user. In addition, using the LLM, the flow generation service may generate second metadata corresponding to each of the set of elements based on decomposing the natural language input. The flow generation service may sequence and merge the set of elements to generate the first process flow. In some examples, the flow generation service may send, for display to a user interface of a user device, the first process flow.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a method of predicting an action by a plurality of language model augmented agents (LAAs). In at least one embodiment, a controller receives a task instruction to be performed using an environment. The controller receives an observation of a first state from the environment. The controller selects a LAA from the plurality of LAAs based on the task instruction and the observation. The controller obtains an output from the selected LAA generated using an input combining the task instruction, the observation, and an LAA-specific prompt template. The controller determines the action based on the output. The controller causes the action to be performed on the environment thereby causing the first state of the environment to change to a second state.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for optimizing a language model (LM) agent. In at least one embodiment, and LM agent comprises an “actor” LM and a “retrospective LM which provides reflections on attempts by the actor LM. The reflections are used to update subsequent prompts to the actor LM. Optimizing the LM agent comprises fine-tuning parameters of the retrospective LM while keeping parameters of the actor LM frozen. A gradient may be determined by a change in reward from the environment based on actions taken by the actor LM with and without a reflection of the retrospective LM. Using this gradient, parameters of the retrospective LM may be updated via backpropagation.

Abstract: An image feature extraction method for person re-identification includes performing person re-identification by means of aligned local descriptor extraction and graded global feature extraction; performing the aligned local descriptor extraction by processing an original image by affine transformation and performing a summation pooling operation on image block features of same regions to obtain an aligned local descriptor; reserving spatial information between inner blocks of the image for the aligned local descriptor; and performing the graded global feature extraction by grading a positioned pedestrian region block and solving a corresponding feature mean value to obtain a global feature. The method can resolve the problem of feature misalignment caused by posture changes of pedestrian, etc., and eliminate the effect of unrelated backgrounds on re-recognition, thus improving the precision and robustness of person re-identification.

Abstract: Disclosed is a deep discriminative network for person re-identification in an image or a video. Concatenation are carried out on different input images on a color channel by constructing a deep discriminative network, and an obtained splicing result is defined as an original difference space of different images. The original difference space is sent into a convolutional network. The network outputs the similarity between two input images by learning difference information in the original difference space, thereby realizing person re-identification. The features of an individual image are not learnt, and concatenation are carried out on input images on a color channel at the beginning, and difference information is learnt on an original space of the images by using a designed network. By introducing an Inception module and embedding the same into a model, the learning ability of a network can be improved, and a better differentiation effect can be achieved.

Abstract: System, method, and software for recommending documents to users. A recommendation system identifies recent documents and historical information indicating consumption by users of past documents. The system generates a historical reading matrix based on the historical information, and generates a vector matrix for the recent documents and the past documents. The system generates an estimated reading matrix based on the historical reading matrix and the vector matrix, with the estimated reading matrix having first entries that represent actual reading scores for the past documents. The system calculates estimated reading scores for the recent documents based on the vector matrix, and populates second entries of the estimated reading matrix corresponding to the recent documents with the estimated reading scores. The system performs a factorization on the estimated reading matrix to generate a refined reading matrix, and generates recommendations of the recent documents based on the refined reading matrix.

Abstract: A capability for sparsifying a representation of pairwise cost information is presented herein. The capability for sparsifying a representation of pairwise cost information may be used to sparsify a representation of pairwise cost information for a set of nodes. The sparsification of a representation of pairwise cost information for a set of nodes may provide thereby a sparsified representation of the pairwise cost information for the set of nodes. The sparsification of the representation of pairwise cost information for the set of nodes may be based on clustering of the nodes of the set of nodes into clusters. The sparsification of the representation of pairwise cost information for the set of nodes may be based on calculation of intra-cluster costs and inter-cluster costs, where the intra-cluster costs and inter-cluster costs are calculated based on the pairwise cost information of the representation of the pairwise cost information for the set of nodes.

Abstract: A capability for providing policy enforcement in a topology abstraction system is presented. The capability for providing policy enforcement in a topology abstraction system may support use of topology abstraction policies to control abstraction of topology information of a topology (e.g., a network topology of a communication network or any other suitable type of topology). The capability for providing policy enforcement in a topology abstraction system providing an abstract representation of a topology may support use of topology abstraction policies to control selection (or acceptance) of topology elements for inclusion within the abstract representation of a topology and filtering (or rejection) of topology elements from being included within the abstract representation of a topology.
