Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing distractions from nearby devices when content susceptible to interruption is being consumed. Content susceptible to interruption is determined, and when this content is consumed on one device, nearby devices are identified and their output characteristics are modified. For example, output volume of nearby devices may be reduced, or the volume of the first device may be increased. This process is repeated with different devices as they each output content determined to be susceptible to interruption. Consumers are thus presented with fewer distractions from surrounding devices while they are consuming content that is susceptible to interruption.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe an audio forwarding regularizer and an information bottleneck that are used when training a machine learning (ML) system. The audio forwarding regularizer receives audio training data and identifies visually irrelevant and relevant sounds in the training data. By controlling the information bottleneck, the audio forwarding regularizer forwards data to a generator that is primarily related to the visually irrelevant sounds, while filtering out the visually relevant sounds. The generator also receives data regarding visual objects from a visual encoder derived from visual training data. Thus, when being trained, the generator receives data regarding the visual objects and data regarding the visually irrelevant sounds (but little to no data regarding the visually relevant sounds). Thus, during an execution stage, the generator can generate sounds that are relevant to the visual objects while not adding visually irrelevant sounds to the videos.
