    Abstract: Systems and methods for public transport infrastructure facilitated drone delivery are provided. In example embodiments, a request to deliver a package to a drop-off destination using a drone is received. Public infrastructure information is accessed. A public infrastructure terminal from which the drone delivers the package is identified based on the public infrastructure information. An instruction is communicated to transport the package to the identified public. A drone delivery route from the identified public infrastructure terminal to the drop-off destination is determined based on the public infrastructure information. An instruction to deliver the package using the drone delivery route is communicated to the drone.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for generating new product images are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes identifying, via hardware processing circuitry, a template for a category of products, the template defining locations of attributes of products belonging to the category, identifying, via the hardware processing circuitry, common attributes of products of the category based on the template, averaging, via the hardware processing circuitry, corresponding pixel values across images representing the products having the common attributes, generating, via the hardware processing circuitry, a new product image representing a new product based on the averaged pixel values; and generating, via the hardware processing circuitry, a modified new product image by varying attributes of the new product based on the locations of the attributes defined by the template.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for creating and utilizing search indexes with different properties to provide efficient and flexible means for retrieving and ranking high-dimensional content. A first index and a second index are generated with a different sets of properties, which may include a permutation prefix length and a vector quantization scheme, and are each associated with a computational workload. Further, at least one index structure may be created with a posting list associated with a permutation prefix and a set of references, rather than only a permutation prefix, to balance out posting lists of variable lengths within the index. Another embodiment of the disclosure provides for expansion of search results at search time, rather than during indexing, by retrieving posting lists associated with shorter permutation prefix after an initial list is determined to have insufficient recall.

    Abstract: An example embodiment includes a system server configured for social network-based inventory management. The system server includes processors and non-transitory computer-readable storage media communicatively coupled to the processors. The media store instructions that, in response to execution by the processors, cause the processors to perform operations. The operations include receiving category specifications and access category definitions for access categories. The access category definitions include relationship criteria for the access categories. The operations include identifying a relationship between a second user and a first user, comparing an identified relationship with the relationship criteria, and determining which of the access categories the second user is included based on the comparison. In response to a received product request for a product offered by the first user, the operations include providing a product listing to the second user that is consistent with the category specification of the access category of the second user.
