Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for examining objects (e.g., mobile storage units) using neural networks. Upon determining that the object is within an area of interest, the system uses multiple sensors positioned at various locations to capture the object from four or more sides at the same time. Using a neural network, the system identifies a first set of features of the object, which are then used to determine the location information of a second set of features, also identified by the neural network. The system evaluates whether this second set of features meets a series of criteria to determine if the object passes or fails the examination.

Abstract

Techniques for managing the memory of computing devices that host multiple VMs by selecting optimally sized pages of virtual memory for programs running in the VMs. Virtual memory has traditionally been divided into pages of a single size (e.g., small, large, or huge) that are then offered to programs running in VMs. These page sizes have different benefits and drawbacks that must be considered when selecting the best page size for virtual memory. For example, small pages increase memory sharing between the VMs, but also result in an execution slowdown. Conversely, large pages improve execution performance by reducing latency in address translations, but limit memory sharing. This disclosure describes using small pages for sharable memory, and using large pages for private memory that cannot be shared. This provides the high performance needed for certain applications by using large pages, but still allows for increased memory sharing using small pages.

Abstract

A multi-language classifier (MLC) provides a single model that is able to classify inputs provided in different languages. The MLC is trained using training data comprising language data in several languages. A language-aware active learning system determines subsequent training data based on uncertainty and accuracy of classification output resulting from previous iterations. Samples associated with languages that are more uncertain and have lower accuracy are prioritized for use during subsequent training iterations. This prioritization allows training to be completed with fewer samples, particularly samples that are expensive to obtain such as those labeled by human operators. As a result, the MLC is more quickly and less expensively trained to reach desired accuracy targets.

Abstract

Security workflows of a smart home connectivity protocol are integrated to establish device identities and ensure certification within a device commissioning service of a provider network. The service provider of the provider network can synchronize the commissioning service's implementation of the protocol, relieving smart home device vendors of this responsibility. This streamlines the software complexity for vendors during device commissioning, removing their need for external data repositories or distributed networks. Some implementations feature a managed private certificate authority service in the provider network, issuing private certificates for validated device identification. This reduces cost and complexity for vendors, enabling them to focus on top-tier smart home solutions while relying on a secure, scalable provider network service for device commissioning. This approach also diminishes the necessity for individual public key infrastructure (PKI) management, enhancing efficiency and resource allocation.

Abstract

Systems and methods are described for performing retrieval of information based on a generative AI prompt and response. A system can receive a prompt from a user, then generate a response to the prompt by using a generative AI model. The system may then determine a span of text within the response, which may be a portion of text from the response to be used as the basis for a retrieval or search with respect to one or more data repositories. The span of text, response, and prompt can be used to perform a search to retrieve results, where the span of text may be used as a search term in the search and the prompt and response may be used as context for ranking during the search. The results can be presented to the user to be compared against the prompt and response.

Abstract

A de-centralized distributed bot system for deployment of automation bots includes distributed agents that execute on client devices, such as desktop machines or the like. The agents poll a remote repository that stores the bots to discover new bots to download to storage local to the agent, or updates for bots the agent has already locally-cached. The agents each have an agent-based user interface for browsing and managing bots, such as the bots in the local cache. In response to selection, via the agent-provided interface, of a bot for execution, an executable for the selected bot is obtained and locally executed. The agent may generate related logs and transmit the logs to a metrics, analytics and alarm service. Bot developers may submit bots to the remote repository for storage via a deployment pipeline service that submits bots to the remote repository using a publishing manager.

Techniques for generating and outputting a natural language explanation of a determination made by a system are described. The system presents content to a user, where the content is generated based on a system determination. The system determines history data associated with a user profile associated with the user and context data associated with the system determination. The system uses the history data and the context data to determine a natural language explanation that the output was generated based on the system determination. The system further uses the history data and the context data to generate a predicted system determination representing the system determination that resulted in the output presented to the user. Based on a similarity between the predicted system determination and the actual system determination, the natural language explanation is presented to the user.

Abstract

A database system performs vertical scaling of a storage layer by temporarily increasing a resource allocation of given node and/or shard to allow the node or shard to process a load that exceeds its baseline resource allocation. Additionally, a control plane of the database system performs health checks of the nodes and/or shards of the components of the database system and in response to load conditions exceeding a threshold, performs horizontal scaling of the nodes of the components. The horizontal scaling adds shard replicas or re-shards the nodes to include more shards. The horizontal scaling reduces load on individual nodes and/or shards and alleviates the load conditions that triggered the vertical scaling.

Abstract

Disclosed are systems and methods that address the limitations of current code completion techniques, generate multiple levels of syntactically complete code completions, each level of syntactically complete code completion based upon and dependent upon an acceptance of a prior level syntactically complete code completion. A first level syntactically complete code completion may be presented as a suggestion for inclusion in a code and each additional level of syntactically complete code completions in the sequence maintained in a cache so that the next level syntactically complete code completion can be presented immediately upon acceptance of the currently presented syntactically complete code completion. By pre-generating multiple levels of syntactically complete code completions so that each next level syntactically complete code completion can be presented immediately upon acceptance of a presented syntactically complete code completion reduces or eliminates any perceived latency in code completion generation and/or code completion presentation.

Abstract

A file system manager implemented at a provider network identifies a storage device of a first group of storage devices of a provider network as an initial location of a file system object. Based on an access metric associated with the object, the file system manager initiates a transfer of contents of the object to a second storage device of a different storage device group, without receiving a client request specifying the transfer. In response to an access request received via a file system programmatic interface, contents of the object are provided from the second storage device. Based on a second access metric, the object is transferred back to the first group of storage devices.

Abstract

A database system provides query processors on demand for accepting customer connections to a database and stores database data in a separate storage layer, via storage nodes each storing a shard or shard replica of the database data. The database system provides a multi-region configuration wherein customers can access a multi-region database from any of multiple regions of a service provider network. In response to a region-wide failure event, query processors are provided on demand in a failover region. Additionally, to ensure sufficient storage node capacity is maintained in a potential failover region, a multi-region control plane distributes load or configuration information to local control planes of each of the regions of the multi-region database to ensure sufficient storage layer scaling is performed to support a failure over event resulting from a region-wide failure.

Abstract

A database system performs vertical scaling of a storage layer by temporarily increasing a resource allocation of given node and/or shard to allow the node or shard to process a load that exceeds its baseline resource allocation. Additionally, a control plane of the database system performs health checks of the nodes and/or shards of the components of the database system and in response to load conditions exceeding a threshold, performs horizontal scaling of the nodes of the components. The horizontal scaling adds shard replicas or re-shards the nodes to include more shards. The horizontal scaling reduces load on individual nodes and/or shards and alleviates the load conditions that triggered the vertical scaling.

Abstract

Approaches are disclosed for providing (412) optimized AI models for use in performing various inferencing tasks. In at least one embodiment, a user may request a model to be used to perform an inferencing task, and may be presented (406) with one or more optimization options. The user can select (408) one or more of these optimization options, and in response a model and parameter set can be provided (410) to the user, where the model and/or parameter set may be optimized and/or proprietary, and thus have their use restricted. Such an approach allows a user to effectively obtain a customized AI model that can be used for a specific type of inferencing task without the need to fine-tune or customize the model. In order to protect any intellectual property (IP), such as an optimized parameter set offered by a provider, the set may be encrypted and able to be decrypted and used (614) only in authorized environments and associated (616) with users having a valid key or cryptographic token associated with the set of optimized parameters.

Abstract

Techniques for moderating an output of a generative model in a streaming manner are described. In some embodiments, a first portion of data (responsive to an input) may be generated by a generative model, a system may process the first portion of data using a content moderation model to determine that the first portion corresponds to a non-moderated content category, and based on this determination, the first portion of data may be outputted (to a user or system component). The generative model may then generate a second portion of data (which may include a larger of number tokens than the second portion), and the system may process the second portion using the content moderation model to determine whether the second portion corresponds to a moderated content category. The amount of data (e.g., number of tokens) processed by the content moderation model may vary between processing steps.

Abstract

Systems and methods are described for implementing debugging snapshots on a serverless computing system. A serverless computing system executes user-submitted code in sandboxed execution environments such as virtual machines or containers, and the user who requests execution of the code does not have direct access to these execution environments for debugging or other purposes. To support debugging of code, the serverless computing system thus implements a debugging snapshot service that generates snapshots of the environment in which the user-submitted code is executing. Snapshots are generated accordance with criteria that may be specified by the user, and may include any or all of the information needed to resume execution of the code from the point at which the snapshot was taken. The service includes user interfaces that enable inspection and comparison of snapshots, as well as setting snapshot generation and retention policies.

Abstract

Techniques for reducing a syndrome density of a plurality of rounds of syndrome measurements following a first decoding stage (e.g., via a local decoder) for quantum error correction of circuit-level noise within quantum surface codes are disclosed. Such techniques for reducing syndrome density may include syndrome collapse and/or vertical cleanup techniques. In a syndrome collapse technique, a measurement results volume may be partitioned into sheets and the respective sheets collapsed, causing vertical pairs of highlighted vertices to be removed. In a vertical cleanup technique, vertical pairs of highlighted vertices may be removed directly from a matching graph following a first decoding stage. Following the removal of vertical pairs of highlighted vertices, the measurement results are then decoded in a second, global decoding stage. Such techniques allow for fast decoding throughout and low latency times for error correction of rounds of syndrome measurements for quantum algorithms implemented using quantum surface codes.

Abstract

Techniques for reducing occurrences of cross-triggering event types not represented in audio data and false detection of event types are described. Different event types, such as a hand clap event type and a door knock event type may have substantially similar audio characteristics, and if one event type of such event types is represented in audio data, then event detection processing of that audio data may lead to detection of event types not represented in the audio data. Example embodiments involve training a model configured to detect multiple event types to enforce mutual exclusivity between different event type pairs or sets of the multiple event types. The model is trained to enforce mutual exclusivity using a regularizer function and a weight parameter to reduce any positive detection scores of event types not represented in received audio. Similar techniques may be applied to models for object detection using image data.

Systems and methods for LM communication channel optimization include receiving user input data requesting that a message be sent and determining, using a language model (LM), a recipient profile to send the message to. Thereafter, the LM may query a communication channel application for data indicating communication channels available for sending the message to the recipient profile, and then the LM may infer, based on the data, an urgency value and/or formality value to associate with the message. In this example, the LM may be trained to infer the urgency value and/or the formality value from content of the message. Then, a communication channel may be selected based at least in part on the urgency value and/or the formality value.

Abstract

As a media program is aired to listeners, a control system monitors audio data transmitted to the listeners and interactions received from the listeners to determine whether the media program has violated or may violate one or more rules. The audio data is processed to identify words expressed therein and features of the audio data. Additionally, features of users (e.g., a creator or any listeners or guests) may be calculated based on any information or data available regarding such users. An embedding is formed with data representing the words, the audio features and the user features, and provided to a model trained to determine whether a media program is at risk of violating any rules. One or more actions are selected and executed or recommended based on a score generated by the model representing a level of risk that a rule has been, is being or will be violated.

Abstract

Systems and techniques are disclosed for upsampling low resolution images in remote sensing data, such as satellite images, into higher-resolution upsampled images. A machine learning upsampling model is trained on a training data set containing crowdsourced high resolution images, such as dashcam images, cell phone camera images, and other types of images of geographical areas, as well as corresponding low resolution images from remote sensing data that depict the same geographical areas. The upsampling model is trained on the training data set to determine an upsampling approach that converts the low resolution images into upsampled images that match the crowdsourced high resolution images of the same geographical areas. Following training of the upsampling model, the upsampling model is used to upsample new low resolution images in remote sensing data into higher-resolution upsampled images.

Abstract

Techniques for moderating an output of a generative model in a streaming manner are described. In some embodiments, a first portion of data (responsive to an input) may be generated by a generative model, a system may process the first portion of data using a content moderation model to determine that the first portion corresponds to a non-moderated content category, and based on this determination, the first portion of data may be outputted (to a user or system component). The generative model may then generate a second portion of data (which may include a larger of number tokens than the second portion), and the system may process the second portion using the content moderation model to determine whether the second portion corresponds to a moderated content category. The amount of data (e.g., number of tokens) processed by the content moderation model may vary between processing steps.

Abstract

A content broadcast system may allow a user to select and start an audio stream of desired audio content without having to connect and authenticate to a specific device. Rather than a user having to pause the content and reconfigure settings of the broadcast system to select the desired audio content, the system may broadcast advertisements listing available audio content (e.g., corresponding to different spoken languages) and actively listen for requests from a device for new audio content to be streamed with the content. A user may manually select the new audio content, or the listening device may request particular audio content based on user preferences (e.g., a preferred language for streaming content). The system may broadcast audio data using a Bluetooth protocol.

Abstract

Techniques for performing an action with respect to displayed content are described. A natural language interpretation corresponding to a received spoken user input may be determined. Prior to receiving the spoken user input, content may be displayed to the user from which the spoken user input was received. The natural language interpretation may represent a request to perform an action with respect to a portion of the content currently being displayed. Content identifiers corresponding to content being displayed, may be determined, and embedding data representing at least one feature of the content may be determined using the content identifiers. The natural language interpretation and the embedding data may be processed to determine that the spoken user input relates to a first portion of the displayed content instead of a second portion of the displayed content. Based on the determination, an action responsive to the spoken user input may be performed.

Abstract

Disclosed are systems and methods that address the limitations of current code completion techniques, generate multiple levels of syntactically complete code completions, each level of syntactically complete code completion based upon and dependent upon an acceptance of a prior level syntactically complete code completion. A first level syntactically complete code completion may be presented as a suggestion for inclusion in a code and each additional level of syntactically complete code completions in the sequence maintained in a cache so that the next level syntactically complete code completion can be presented immediately upon acceptance of the currently presented syntactically complete code completion. By pre-generating multiple levels of syntactically complete code completions so that each next level syntactically complete code completion can be presented immediately upon acceptance of a presented syntactically complete code completion reduces or eliminates any perceived latency in code completion generation and/or code completion presentation.

Abstract

Approaches are disclosed for providing optimized AI models for use in performing various inferencing tasks. In at least one embodiment, a user may request a model to be used to perform an inferencing task, and may be presented with one or more optimization options. The user can select one or more of these optimization options, and in response a model and parameter set can be provided to the user, where the model and/or parameter set may be optimized and/or proprietary, and thus have their use restricted. Such an approach allows a user to effectively obtain a customized AI model that can be used for a specific type of inferencing task without the need to fine-tune or customize the model. In order to protect any intellectual property (IP), such as an optimized parameter set offered by a provider, the set may be encrypted and able to be decrypted and used only in authorized environments and associated with users having a valid key or cryptographic token associated with the set of optimized parameters.

A system and method enabling a management service to dynamically select a key relay technique between at least a first relay technique that uses more quantum key distribution (QKD) bits and a second relay technique that uses less QKD key bits and select a path for relaying a key between a source QKD node and a destination QKD node. Respective QKD nodes may relay information about QKD key bit inventory to the management service, wherein the management service may store respective data in a repository. Management service may receive a request for distribution of a QKD key and select one or more key relay techniques to relay the key at respective QKD node links. Additionally, the management service may dynamically select and optimize the relay path and the key relay technique for respective links based on QKD key bit information.

Abstract

Variations in latency, out-of-order, and duplication may occur for incoming packets delivered via a network including a constellation of low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. An incoming packet that comprises time data and a sequence number is received at a user terminal. A delivery deadline time (deadline) is determined for the incoming packet. The incoming packet and its deadline are stored in a waiting buffer. Packets from the waiting buffer are processed for storage into “slots” that correspond to sequence numbers of the incoming packets. A window designates which portion of the slots may be written to or read from. The window may comprise a circular buffer. The window may be “moved” relative to the slots based on sequence number of an incoming packet, highest packet transmitted, maximum permitted movement, lowest window stop, highest window stop, and so forth. Packets in slots within the window that have reached their deadline are sent.

Abstract

Techniques for monitoring virtual machine host system health with untrusted sources are described. An agent receives a request to terminate a first virtual machine, the request including an untrusted status indicator originating from an environment executing untrusted software. The agent sends first termination event data to a differential health service of the provider network, the first termination event data including an indication of a host computer system and the untrusted status indicator. The differential health service determines that a first metric associated with the first host computer system differs from a second metric associated with a pool of host computer systems by at least a first amount and based at least in part on the untrusted status indicator, wherein the pool of host computer systems includes the first host computer system. The differential health service sends a second request to cause a corrective action to be taken.
