Abstract: systems and methods for detecting an unstable resource of a cloud service. a set of health time-series data of a first resource is received and a resource behavior model trained on historical health time-series data of resources of a same type as the first resource is used to encode the received data into embeddings. in some examples, the model reconstructs the embeddings, compares the embeddings to the received data, and determines a reconstruction loss value for determining whether the first resource is operating in an anomalous behavior state. in some examples, the generated embeddings are compared to embeddings generated from health time-series data received from other resources of a same type as the first resource. a similarity-score is determined and used to determine whether the first resource is operating in an anomalous behavior state. the system and method further report anomalous behavior, indicating the first resource is unstable or unhealthy.

Abstract: the disclosed techniques provide promotion of engagement by transitioning viewing perspectives to a temporary viewing perspective showing clusters of group activity. a system shows each person a view of a large virtual environment, e.g., in a stadium full of representations of meeting attendees. each person sees the virtual environment from a point of view originating from each person's representation, e.g., a first-person avatar view. when a group activity meets one or more conditions, the system determines parameters of a temporary perspective view from a point-of-view of a virtual camera based on the positions of people in a cluster of representations. the parameters of the temporary perspective view can be selected to show a threshold number of representations found in a cluster in a virtual environment. the system can then transition the view of each member of the group from a first-person perspective to the point-of-view of the virtual camera.
