Abstract: some embodiments use specialized machine learning models to generate computing system artifact names which reflect actions, states, conditions, or other aspects of artifact functionality. artifact creation mechanisms such as method extraction mechanisms, test creation mechanisms, and template extraction mechanisms are enhanced with functionality by which they obtain and suggest meaningful generated names for new artifacts instead of merely prompting users with placeholder names. specified artifact name formats and name styles are matched during name generation, thereby improving code maintainability and software development efficiency. generated names are automatically and proactively derived from artifact source code by code summarization, conditional statement location, algorithm category recognition, or name format matching, for example. generated names are also derived from natural language descriptions in comments and other documentation. naming gaps left by autocompletion mechanisms are reduced. inconsistencies between updated artifacts and their names are detected and remedied.

Abstract: a device and method for optimizing a merge operation via materialized intermediate partitions that maintains an internal state partitioned on merge-optimized key, which is different from read-optimized key in the read (final) copy. this method is designed to speed up merge operations on large scale data, where both storage and computation happen in distributed systems. when reading new data, the method is to first partitioned with merge key, then merge (e.g. upsert) with a previously materialized snapshot (which is the previous merge result), then materialize (still partitioned by mergekey) and overwrite relevant partitions in the read (final) copy, partitioned on read-optimized key. this reduces cross-network shuffle and significantly improves performance.

Abstract: in an example embodiment, a structured linear program is provided that is usable in recommender models. this structured linear program is able to produce real-time results for a structured recommendation problem with diversity constraints, even for large data sets. the structured linear program operates by first reducing a two-sided diversity constraint to a one-sided diversity constraint, and then introducing a dual variable for a constraint, in order to define a dual objective function. the dual objective function is then solved using a bisection method. a primal solution is then recovered using the solved dual objective function. the resultant primal solution reflects a set of recommended content items that satisfy the diversity constraint, as computed in real-time.

Abstract: methods, systems and computer program products are described to improve machine learning (ml) model-based classification of data items by identifying and removing inaccurate training data. inaccurate training samples may be identified, for example, based on excessive variance in vector space between a training sample and a mean of category training samples, and based on a variance between an assigned category and a predicted category for a training sample. suspect or erroneous samples may be selectively removed based on, for example, vector space variance and/or prediction confidence level. as a result, ml model accuracy may be improved by training on a more accurate revised training set. ml model accuracy may (e.g., also) be improved, for example, by identifying and removing suspect categories with excessive (e.g., weighted) vector space variance. suspect categories may be retained or revised. users may (e.g., also) specify a prediction confidence level and/or coverage (e.g., to control accuracy).

Abstract: visual artifact detection systems and methods are disclosed herein. in an example system, optical characteristic measurements (e.g., a luminance value) for a display are obtained over a length of time, such as during power cycle events of a computing device coupled to the display. based on the measurements, ripple values are generated, where each ripple value indicates a change of the optical characteristic over a period of time. a first ripple value is identified that exceeds a threshold and a first time window for identifying a subsequent ripple exceeding the threshold is commenced. if a second ripple value exceeds the threshold in the first time window, a determination is made that the first ripple value corresponds to a visual artifact on the display. in response, a visual artifact indication is generated, such as a notification to a user and/or a dynamic adjustment to a display parameter for remediating the artifact.

Abstract: examples described in this disclosure relate to waste cold recuperation in fuel cell based power generation systems for datacenters. an example waste cold recuperation system includes a liquefied gas storage for supplying liquefied gas as a coolant to cool a first set of compute resources configurable to operate in a first cryogenic environment. the system is configurable to supply at least some of the vapor phase of the liquefied gas as a coolant to cool a second set of compute resources configurable to operate in a second cryogenic environment, resulting in the at least some of the vapor phase of the liquefied gas becoming a super-heated vapor phase of the liquefied gas. the system is configurable to supply the super-heated vapor phase of the liquefied gas as fuel to fuel cells for providing electrical power to a datacenter load including compute resources configurable to operate in a non-cryogenic environment.
