  • Patent number: 11912271
    Abstract: Among other things, techniques are described for predicting how an agent (e.g., a vehicle, bicycle, pedestrian, etc.) will move in an environment based on prior movement, the road network, the surrounding objects and/or other relevant environmental factors. One trajectory prediction technique involves generating a probability map for an agent's movement. Another trajectory prediction technique involves generating a trajectory lattice, for an agent's movement. In addition, a different trajectory prediction technique involves multi-modal regression where a classifier (e.g., a neural network) is trained to classify the probability of a number of (learned) modes such that each model produces a trajectory based on the current input.

  • Publication number: 20200117979
    Abstract: Example methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) to implement neural network processing of set-top box return path data to estimate household demographics are disclosed. Example demographic estimation systems disclosed herein include a feature generator to generate features from return path data reported from set-top boxes associated with return path data households. Disclosed example demographic estimation systems also include a neural network to process the features generated from the return path data to predict demographic classification probabilities for the return path data households, the neural network to be trained based on panel data reported from meters that monitor media devices associated with panelist household.
