    摘要: A group of remote devices executing an omnichannel application are coordinated from a network node. An omnichannel mediator coordinates formation of at least two of said remote devices into an omnichannel cloudlet. A component manager controls which of a plurality of components of said omnichannel application should optimally be placed on which individual devices of said omnichannel cloudlet and how data should flow to individual devices of said omnichannel cloudlet. A replication optimizer optimally coordinates data replication for the group of remote device.

    摘要: A dermoscopic lesion area is identified by: Obtaining a dermoscopic image and running a convolutional neural network image classifier on the dermoscopic image to obtain pixelwise lesion prediction scores. Segmenting the dermoscopic image into super-pixels, and computing for each super-pixel an average of the pixelwise prediction scores for pixels within that super-pixel. Computing a mean prediction score across the plurality of super-pixels. Assigning a confidence indicator of “1” to each super-pixel with a prediction score equal or greater than the mean prediction score, and a confidence indicator of “0” to each super-pixel with a prediction score less than the mean prediction score. Constructing a super-pixel graph G=(V,E,W) wherein w ij = exp ⁡ ( -  x i - x j  2 σ ) and di=Σi=1Nwij; computing a confidence score function F according to {circumflex over (F)}=arg min(FTLF+μ∥F−Y∥2); and integrating the confidence score function F with the pixelwise prediction scores to produce a final segmentation of the dermoscopic image into lesion and background areas.

    摘要: At least a first cryptogram and a second cryptogram are transmitted from a payment device reader component to a terminal component. A message including at least the first cryptogram and the second cryptogram is transmitted from the terminal component to an issuer of a payment device presented to the reader component, through a payment network. A message is obtained from the issuer, corresponding to authentication, by the issuer, of the payment device (and optionally the owner of the payment device) presented to the reader component, based at least on the first cryptogram and the second cryptogram. The payment network is configured in accordance with at least one of (i) a standard, and (ii) a specification, which normally employs only a single cryptogram for the message and the authentication. Apparatuses and computer program products are also disclosed.
