User-Centric Test Sequence Generation For Fault Detection, Kun-Da Wu, Berlin Hsin

Defensive Publications Series

Test engineering, including development of new test cases from large volumes of log data, can be expensive. User reports often do not include clear description of the context of poor user experience. The effectiveness of a test case derived from user reports is hard to validate. This disclosure describes the use of machine learning techniques such as attention based neural networks, language models, etc. to generate from user reports realistic, multi-faceted test sequences designed to trigger failures. A pattern extractor extracts critical events relevant to particular failures from session logs. A test sequence generator generates user-like action sequences or event …

Optimization Of Audio Curation For Venues Based On Real-Time Analysis Of User Response, Jaime Guajardo, Dmitrii Boiarshinov, Gabi Lanning

Defensive Publications Series

Optimally selecting types of audio to align with a particular experience is a difficult task. Many venues hire music curation service providers, such as DJs, which can be prohibitively expensive. Further, a hired music curator that incorrectly curates music for a venue can substantially reduce patronage to a venue. Finally, it can be prohibitively difficult to determine whether music is being curated incorrectly or if patronage in a venue is being reduced due to some other cause. A music curation service provider’s task is complicated by rapidly changing tastes in music within the general public. This problem is exacerbated due …

Redundant Mesh Trees For Robust Scalable Low-Latency P2p Media Distribution, Stefan Lindmark, Christopher Probst-Ranly, Alexander Schäfer

Defensive Publications Series

A redundant mesh (RMS) tree structure is proposed as a P2P network topology for reducing network latency. The RMS tree structure may enable low-latency network scalability through redundant connections within tree nodes, and a fully connected mesh cluster at each node of the tree structure. When compared to a traditional P2P or client-server network topology, bandwidth demands may be reduced at every node of the network. Thus, latent network capabilities may be utilized, and overall system latency may decrease.

Pre-Aimed Sensor Rig Setup, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

[1] We present a method of pre-aiming the cameras before the camera array has to be transferred offsite. Each style of collection/capture volume will have a dedicated family of towers/pods that are optimized for the specific use case (e.g. full body capture would have a set of 5+ towers with a large capture volume, detailed touch-typing studies could have fewer towers with a much smaller capture volume, etc.). There is still the initial time investment of the domain expert to set up the towers the first time, but after that the cameras stay fixed in place and the same set …

Method And System To Automatically Synthesize Smart Contracts Using Transaction Traces, Ranjit Kumaresan

Defensive Publications Series

The present disclosure relates to a method and system to automatically synthesize smart contracts using transaction traces. The present disclosure suggests collecting transaction trace raw data from a blockchain network and transmitting the transaction trace raw data obtained to a transaction decoder system for initial data preprocessing. Thereafter, call frames are extracted from the transaction trace raw data and a Depth-First Search (DFS) traversal is performed on the extracted call frames. Subsequently, at each step of the DFS traversal, the contract address associated (that is, “to” address) with the extracted call frame is verified to determine if it is known …
