  • Publication number: 20240119077
    Abstract: A method of performing a multimodal tasks by using a multimodal model that includes a text encoder and a vision encoder, may include obtaining a text feature from the query via the text encoder; obtaining an image feature from the one or more input images via the vision encoder; and outputting a response to the query based on similarity between the text feature and the image feature, wherein weights vectors of the text encoder and the vision encoder are pruned and shared according to a sharing vector and a pruning vector that are generated by a hypernetwork, and wherein the hypernetwork and the multimodal model are jointly trained to minimize at least one of a difference between the weight vectors in the text encoder and the vision encoder, a difference between the weight vectors in different layers of the text encoder, and a number of parameters in the multimodal model.

  • Patent number: 7273156
    Abstract: A dispenser for sheet materials includes a top portion, a bottom portion, and a restraining member preventing the top and bottom portion from separating. The top portion and the bottom portion can telescope to vary the dispenser's overall height. In one embodiment, by designing a dispenser having bottom sidewalls and top sidewalls of approximately the same length, problems with access to the exposed sheet or excessive manipulation to change the dispenser's height can be avoided. In another embodiment, by designing the dispenser such that the height of the dispenser can automatically reduce as the sheet material is depleted or where the height can be adjusted by simply pushing down on the dispenser's top makes the dispenser convenient to use.

  • Publication number: 20070137814
    Abstract: A paper web having discrete elevated elements molded in the z-direction is generally disclosed, along with methods of making the same. The molded web has improved bulk retention when subjected to compression in the z-direction. The discrete elevated elements can be dome-shaped elevated elements and/or elevated elements having at least one vertical sidewall to form an aesthetically pleasing figure. The paper web can be an uncreped through air dried paper web. The molding of the paper web can result from the contour of the dryer fabric, such as a nonwoven dryer fabric.
