    Abstract: Technologies are disclosed for implementing a time series forecasting model. A time series forecasting model comprising a periodic component is modified to include an event-based component comprising a long-term portion representing impacts greater than one period of the periodic component, and a short-term portion representing impacts shorter than one period of the periodic component. A forecast is output using the modified time series forecasting model.

    Abstract: A control bar for element activation is described. A design interface for editing digital content includes at least a first control bar and a second control bar. The first control bar is associated with a first element of the digital content and the second control bar is associated with a second element of the digital content that at least partially overlaps the first element in the digital content. The control bars are configured to remain visible and selectable in the design interface while editing the digital content. User input to select the first control bar or the second control bar is received, and the respective first element or second element associated with the selected control bar is activated responsive to the user input. The activating changes a visual appearance of both the selected control bar and the activated element and enables user interaction with the activated element.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for defining, generating, utilizing, and/or detecting a geo-fence are described. A trigger is obtained, the trigger generated in response to a change in a geo-fence criteria. One or more boundaries of the geo-fence based on the geo-fence criteria are defined in response to obtaining the trigger.

    Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure include a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and a computer-implemented method for providing a native selling platform. In example embodiments, an operating system of a device is configured to share information with other devices and services using native functionalities of the operating system. An indication to share an image of an item is received. A sharing user interface is presented that includes a plurality of services with which the image of the item is sharable. A selection of a publication system from the plurality of services is received. In response, a listing user interface is presented that includes fields for input of parameters used to generate a listing for the item in the image. Parameters and an indication to list the item are received and are shared with the publication system to cause the publication system to create the listing for the item.

    Abstract: A first device captures an image of an item and provides the image depicting the item, information usable to direct an electronic communication to the first device, and a textual descriptor to a host machine. The host machine is accessible by a second device. The first device receives an electronic communication from the second device regarding the image based on the information usable to direct the electronic communication to the first device that is associated with the image. The image is identifiable by the second device based on a tag for the image selected by the host machine based on the textual information. The communication is received by the first device based on a location of the first device relative to a location of the second device.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to providing supplemental content to one or more client devices requesting multimedia content. The supplemental content may be determined or selected based on the availability of one or more device channels, such as a display, speakers, or other component of the one or more client devices capable of providing an output. The supplemental content may also be selected based on one or more characteristics of the requested multimedia content, such as a genre, subject matter, or duration. Furthermore, the supplemental content may be determined or selected based on the portions of the requested multimedia content that are the most prominent or significant, such as any audio content, any video content, and/or any textual content. The supplemental content may be provided to the one or more client devices such that it is displayed before, during, or after the display of the requested multimedia content.

    Abstract: In various example embodiments, multiple workspaces have access to modify values in a graph database. The graph database can comprise a collection of entity nodes, where each entity node is connected to an identifier node and one or more state nodes. An update to an entity node can be recorded by generating a new state node to store the update and connecting the new state node to the entity node. How each workspace views the database is based, at least in part, on which state nodes are associated with each workspace. The workspaces are independent of one another, and changes made to an entity node in one workspace do not affect how another workspace views the same entity node. By managing database data for each of the workspaces using the same graph database and recording changes in state nodes in an additive manner, the computational overhead is greatly reduced and simplified.

    Abstract: Various embodiments described herein utilize multiple levels of generative adversarial networks (GANs) to facilitate generation of digital images based on user-provided images. Some embodiments comprise a first generative adversarial network (GAN) and a second GAN coupled to the first GAN, where the first GAN includes an image generator and at least two discriminators, and the second GAN includes an image generator and at least one discriminator. According to some embodiments, the (first) image generator of the first GAN is trained by processing a user-provided image using the first GAN. For some embodiments, the user-provided image and the first generated image, generated by processing the user-provided image using the first GAN, are combined to produce a combined image. For some embodiments, the (second) image generator of the second GAN is trained by processing the combined image using the second GAN.

    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for managing a physical inventory. Image data from a number of cameras is processed to recognize inventory items from identifying indicia and determine their respective locations to build a three-dimensional model of the inventory item distribution. Comparison with a database model of the inventory item distribution may indicate discrepancies, such as misplaced items. A picking agent may be dispatched to pick a target item by following a particular path, which may be designated in an overlay on a portable heads-up display. The picking agent may also perform a corrective inventory management action on a non-target item while picking the target item. The corrective inventory management action may include repositioning an item, reorienting the item for better visibility of its identifying indicia, replacing the item's identifying indicia, determining if the item is of expected weight, and gathering new image data.
