Abstract: A system can receive user data from a computing device of a user. Based on the user data, the system can determine that the user will utilize a transport service to arrive at a destination location at a specified time. Prior to the specified time, the system can monitor transport service conditions within a region that includes a current location of the user, and determine a service request time for the user based at least in part on the transport service conditions. The system then automatically generates the service request for the user at the service request time to match the user to a transport provider.

Abstract: Image fingerprints (embeddings) are generated by an image fingerprinting model and indexed with an approximate nearest neighbors (ANN) model trained to identify the most similar fingerprint based on a subject embedding. For image matching, a score is provided that indicates a similarity between the input embedding and the most similar identified embedding, which allows for matching even when an image has been distorted, rotated, cropped, or otherwise modified. For image classification, the embeddings in the index are clustered and the clusters are labeled. Users can provide just a few images to add to the index as a labeled cluster. The ANN model returns a score and label of the most similar identified embedding for labeling the subject image if the score exceeds a threshold. As improvements are made to the image fingerprinting model, a converter model is trained to convert the original embeddings to be compatible with the new embeddings.

Abstract: Disclosed systems and methods include or support a message logging service in which, responsive to receiving an event message generated by a business function, the message is logged in accordance with a message severity, one or more severity level attributes of the system, and one or more message logging criterion.

Abstract: In various examples, artificial intelligence (AI) agents can be generated to synthesize more natural motion by simulated actors in various visualizations (such as video games or simulations). AI agents may employ one or more machine learning models and techniques, such as reinforcement learning, to enable synthesis of motion with enhanced realism. The AI agent can be trained based on widely-available broadcast video data, without the need for more costly and limited motion capture data. To account for the lower quality of such video data, various techniques can be employed, such as taking into account the motion of joints, and applying physics-based constraints on the actors, resulting in higher quality, more lifelike motion.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for vector-quantized image modeling using vision transformers and improved codebook handling. In particular, the present disclosure provides a Vector-quantized Image Modeling (VIM) approach that involves pretraining a machine learning model (e.g., Transformer model) to predict rasterized image tokens autoregressively. The discrete image tokens can be encoded from a learned Vision-Transformer-based VQGAN (example implementations of which can be referred to as ViT-VQGAN). The present disclosure proposes multiple improvements over vanilla VQGAN from architecture to codebook learning, yielding better efficiency and reconstruction fidelity. The improved ViT-VQGAN further improves vector-quantized image modeling tasks, including unconditional image generation, conditioned image generation (e.g., class-conditioned image generation), and unsupervised representation learning.
