In some embodiments, a model training system trains a sample generation model configured to generate synthetic data entries for a dataset. The sample generation model includes a prior model for generating an estimated latent vector from a partially observed data entry, a proposal model for generating a latent vector from a data entry of the dataset and a mask corresponding to the partially observed data entry, and a generative model for generating the synthetic data entries from the latent vector and the partially observed data entry. The model training system trains the sample generation model to optimize an objective function that includes a first term determined using the synthetic data entries and a second term determined using the estimated latent vector and the latent vector. The trained sample generation model can be executed on a client computing device to service queries using the generated synthetic data entries.

Query-oriented approximate query processing based on machine learning techniques

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates issuing rights in a digital rights management system. The system operates by sending a request to perform an operation on an item of content from a client to a rights-management server, wherein the request includes a usage parameter which specifies constraints involved in performing the operation. Next, the system receives a response from the rights-management server, wherein the response indicates whether or not the client has rights to perform the operation in accordance with the constraints specified by the usage parameter. Note that the response may also include a hint that facilitates generating subsequent requests to perform the operation. Finally, if the client has rights to perform the operation, the system performs the operation on the item of content.
