Examples are disclosed that relate to detecting cheating at a game platform level using machine learning techniques. One example provides a computing system comprising a logic subsystem and a data-holding subsystem. The data-holding subsystem comprises instructions executable by the logic subsystem to receive notifications related to user progress in a game provided by the game to the online game platform, apply a classifying function to classify the user progress in the game as normal or outlying based upon the notifications, if the progress is classified as outlying then taking an action in response to the outlying classification, and if the progress is not classified as outlying then not taking the action.

Detecting cheating in games with machine learning

Described herein is a system and method of generating precise location information. Feature points of an image are received from a user device (e.g., mobile phone). Location information of the user device (e.g., GPS coordinates) and relative transform information from the user device are also received. An image anchor is identified based upon the received feature points, relative transform information, and the received location information. Precise location information of the identified image anchor is provided to the user device. The precise location information of the identified image anchor is based upon filtered feature points, location information and relative transform information received from a plurality of user devices over a period of time (e.g., hours, days, weeks, months). The precise location information of the identified image anchor is updated based upon the location information of the user device and the relative transform information received from the user device.

Generation of precise geospatial coordinates

Various embodiments relating to management of game data of a video game by a game service and service triggered delivery of game data to various subscribers are provided. In one embodiment, game data of a video game is received at a game service computing machine as the video game is being executed on a user gaming machine. A game statistic is generated by the game service computing machine based on the game data. The game statistic is sent to subscribers having a subscription to the game statistic.

Service-triggered game events

Embodiments are disclosed for managing and providing access to a collection of digital resources. One embodiment provides a method comprising receiving a request to access a resource for a principal and determining one or more principal groups to which the principal belongs. The method further comprises obtaining resource set membership information indicating a resource set to which the resource belongs, and obtaining resource set access policy information for the resource set to which the resource belongs. The method yet further comprises determining whether the principal is allowed to access the resource based on the principal group membership information and the resource set access policy information, and, if the principal is allowed to access the resource, then permitting access to the resource by the principal.

Discretionary policy management in cloud-based environment

A compliance interface is disclosed that takes in queries from applications which may want to know if they are compliant with associated polices stored on a computing system. The interface can then interpret these queries and provide notifications and instructions to the applications. Notifications may give notice of how a policy may impact an application, and instructions may tell an application how to behave in order to stay compliant with the policies. In one aspect, the interface exposes policies set forth by parents. Via a management control panel, parents can set or alter various policies, stored in a settings store, to protect children from contact with undesirable content. The interface interprets these policies to ensure that applications, such as those provided by third party vendors, are compliant with the wishes set forth in the parents' policies.
