  • Patent number: 11872900
    Abstract: When a charging connector of an EVSE is connected to an inlet, a vehicle transmits charging information to a server. The server determines whether or not there is a predetermined function which is set to OFF among functions for external charging included in the vehicle. When there is a predetermined function which is set to OFF, the server transmits a recommendation notification to a smartphone. The smartphone transmits selection information in response to an operation of a user on the recommendation notification to the server. Based on the selection information, the server generates setting information about the predetermined function and transmits the setting information to the vehicle. The vehicle performs a setting for the predetermined function according to the setting information.

  • Patent number: 11829878
    Abstract: In sequence level prediction of a sequence of frames of high dimensional data one or more affective labels are provided at the end of the sequence. Each label pertains to the entire sequence of frames. An action is taken with an agent controlled by a machine learning algorithm for a current frame of the sequence at a current time step. An output of the action represents affective label prediction for the frame at the current time step. A pool of actions taken up until the current time step including the action taken with the agent is transformed into a predicted affective history for a subsequent time step. A reward is generated on predicted actions up to the current time step by comparing the predicted actions against corresponding annotated affective labels.

  • Patent number: 11823050
    Abstract: A semi-supervised model incorporates deep feature learning and pseudo label estimation into a unified framework. The deep feature learning can include multiple convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The CNNs can be trained on available training datasets, tuned using a small amount of labeled training samples, and stored as the original models. Features are then extracted for unlabeled training samples by utilizing the original models. Multi-view clustering is used to cluster features to generate pseudo labels. Then the original models are tuned by using an updated training set that includes labeled training samples and unlabeled training samples with pseudo labels. Iterations of multi-view clustering and tuning using an updated training set can continue until the updated training set is stable.

  • Patent number: 11790042
    Abstract: Mitigating the reality gap through training and utilization of at least one difference model. The difference model can be utilized to generate, for each of a plurality of instances of simulated state data generated by a robotic simulator, a corresponding instance of modified simulated state data. The difference model is trained so that a generated modified instance of simulated state data is closer to “real world data” than is a corresponding initial instance of simulated state data. Accordingly, the difference model can be utilized to mitigate the reality gap through modification of initially generated simulated state data, to make it more accurately reflect what would occur in a real environment. Moreover, the difference representation from the difference model can be used as input to the control policy to adapt the control learned from simulator to the real environment.
