Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an apparatus. The apparatus includes a light diffusion portion comprising a same shape and approximately a same two dimensional size as a bottom surface of a light source, a light redirection device coupled to a perimeter of the light diffusion portion, wherein the light redirection device redirects a first portion of light emitted from a light source in a direction opposite a second portion of light emitted from the light source that travels through the light diffusion portion, and at least one mechanical coupling member coupled to the light redirection device, wherein the at least one mechanical coupling member is to connect to a corresponding portion of the light source.

Abstract: The training of a learning agent to provide real-time control of an object is disclosed. Training of the learning agent and training of a corresponding pioneer agent are iteratively alternated. The training of the learning and pioneer agents is under the supervision of a supervisor agent. The training of the learning agent provides feedback for subsequent training of the pioneer agent. The training of the pioneer agent provides feedback for subsequent training of the learning agent. During the training, a supervisor coefficient modulates the influence of the supervisor agent. As agents are trained, the influence of the supervisor agent is decayed. The training of the learning agent, under a first level of supervisor influence, includes real-time control of the object. The subsequent training of the pioneer agent, under a reduced level of supervisor influence, includes replay of training data accumulated during the real-time control of the object.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for in situ authentication and diagnostic repair of a data storage device in a multi-device user environment. In accordance with some embodiments, the method includes detecting an error condition associated with a selected data storage device in the multi-device user environment. A first level of user authentication is established by providing a challenge value generated by the selected data storage device to a remote device over a network associated with the selected data storage device. A first diagnostic tool stored on the selected data storage device is executed responsive to receipt of the first level of user authentication. A second level of user authentication is established by providing a second challenge value generated by the selected data storage device to the remote device. An output from the first diagnostic tool is used to execute a second diagnostic tool stored on the selected data storage device.

Abstract: User trustworthiness may be introduced in implicit feedback based supervised machine learning systems. A set of training data examples may be scored based on the trustworthiness of users associated respectively with the training data examples. The training data examples may be sampled into a plurality of training data sets based on a weighted bootstrap sampling technique, where each weight is a probability proportional to trustworthiness score associated with an example. A machine learning algorithm takes the plurality of the training data sets as input and generates a plurality of trained models. Outputs from the plurality of trained models may be ensembled by computing a weighted average of the outputs of the plurality of trained models.
