Abrégé

Systems and methods are directed to tuning prompt inputs for a large language model (LLM). A prompt tuning system accesses multiple types of unstructured data for use in generating a fusion prompt input embedding. The prompt tuning system then generates a respective embedding for each of the multiple types of unstructured data. The respective embedding for each of the multiple types of unstructured data is provided to a fusion graph neural network (GNN). The fusion GNN generates the fusion prompt input embedding by combining information from the respective embedding for each of the multiple types of unstructured data into a single embedding. The fusion prompt input embedding provides context for a pure text input that comprises instructions for an output from the LLM. The fusion prompt input embedding and a token embedding representing the pure text are inputted to the LLM. An output of the LLM is then displayed. (FIG. 6)

Abrégé

In accordance with the described techniques, a provider service receives a request log of a service endpoint including requests sent to the service endpoint by the provider service. The provider service extracts request log data from the request log including a failure count and an average response duration for the requests. The failure count includes the requests that have failed due to the provider service sending too many requests to the service endpoint and the requests that have failed due to server-side errors of the service endpoint. A throughput capacity for the service endpoint is predicted using a machine learning model based on the failure count and the average response duration. Then, the provider service adjusts a rate limiting threshold for the service endpoint based on the throughput capacity, and the rate limiting threshold defines a rate at which the provider service sends requests to the service endpoint.

Systems and methods are directed to minimizing hallucinations in a generated summary. A summary generation system embodied within a server triggers a large language model (LLM) to generate an initial summary for a subject. Based on the initial summary, the server prompts the LLM to generate a list of factual questions about the initial summary. The server then triggers the LLM to answer the list of factual questions without knowledge of the initial summary and using internal knowledge of the LLM. Questions from the list of factual questions that received a positive answer are identified. Based on the questions, the server prompts the LLM to generate a refined summary from the initial summary. The server then generates a user interface that presents the refined summary. Approval of the refined summary triggers generation of a publication using the refined summary.

Abrégé

Methods for enhancing or automating a review process of annotation tags for a set of tokens is described. A system may receive a list of tokens with associated tags for each token for a data set and may output any identified inconsistencies where a token is assigned at least two different tags. For example, instead of a human looking at each token individually or taking a sample set of the tags for review, the described techniques may look at all tokens with the associated tags in a set of data and may leverage reorganizing the tokens and associated tags to highlight errors to be fixed. Accordingly, the system may look across all tokens within an entire data set, while a review (e.g., by a human) of possible errors of the data set is limited to the highlighted errors flagged by the system.

Abrégé

Some aspects relate to technologies for probabilistic account linking, for instance, to perform fraud detection on online transaction platforms. In accordance with some configurations, linking strategies are defined for linking accounts based on account attributes. An average linking probability is generated for each linking strategy using account data for accounts on an online transaction platform, and the average linking probabilities are stored. To determine whether to link two accounts, linking strategies shared by the two accounts are identified, an account linking probability for the two accounts is generated using the average linking probabilities for the linking strategies shared by the two accounts, and the account linking probability is compared against a threshold. If the account linking probability satisfies the threshold, the accounts are linked and an action is taken based on the account linking.

Abrégé

Linked packet tracing techniques for software load balancers are described, as leveraging a client identifier generated to link packet traces between packets of a service provider system. In one example, a client-side packet is received from a client device by a processing system. From this, a client identifier is generated by the processing system based on the client device. In response, a modified client-side packet is generated by the processing system by modifying the client-side packet to include the client identifier. The modified client-side packet is transmitted by the processing system to a server system. A server-side packet is then received by the processing system from the server system. In response, the server-side packet is detected as including the client-identifier. From this, the server-side packet is linked to at least the modified client-side packet based on the detecting, and the processing system outputs a result of the linked packets.

Abrégé

In accordance with techniques for controlling hallucinations in generated images, a generative image model receives an input image depicting an object and having a first background, and the generative image model produces a generated image depicting the object by replacing the first background with a second background. Further, a salient object detection model generates a first object mask and a second object mask. The first object mask defines a first positioning of the object within the input image, while the second object mask defines a second positioning of the object within the generated image. A hallucination metric capturing an amount of deformation introduced into the object by the generative image model is determined based on a comparison of the first object mask and the second object mask. In one or more implementations, the generated image is output based on the hallucination metric meeting a threshold.

Abrégé

A query modality recommendation system provides recommendations to use a particular query modality based on one or more categories of search results for a search query. Upon receiving a search query in a first query modality at a search engine, the query modality recommendation system determines to recommend use of a second query modality based on one or more categories of the search results. For example, the first query modality may be a textual query and the second query modality may be an image query. In aspects, recommending use of the second query modality comprises comparing a first search performance of the one or more categories for the first query modality in historical search queries to a second search performance of the one or more categories for the second query modality in the historical search queries.

Identity verification services and techniques are described. In one or more implementations, the identity verification service is employed to control resource access based on identity verification. In a first example, an action depicted as performed by a user in verification input data (e.g., head movement, gesture, and so on) is compared by the identity verification service to determine whether the action corresponds to an action specified by a selected verification prompt. In a second example, a likelihood is ascertained by the identity verification service as to whether the user depicted in the verification input data corresponds to a human being through use of a machine-learning model. In a third example, a depiction of the user's face as captured by the verification input data is compared with a digital image of the user maintained by a verification system. Resource access is controlled by the identity verification service.
