Publication number: 20190258931Abstract: A computer-implemented method of generating a modified artificial neural network (ANN) from a base ANN having an ordered series of two or more successive layers of neurons, each layer passing data signals to the next layer in the ordered series, the neurons of each layer processing the data signals received from the preceding layer according to an activation function and weights for that layer comprises: detecting the data signals for a first position and a second position in the ordered series of layers of neurons; generating the modified ANN from the base ANN by providing an introduced layer of neurons to provide processing between the first position and the second position with respect to the ordered series of layers of neurons of the base ANN; deriving an initial approximation of at least a set of weights for the introduced layer using a least squares approximation from the data signals detected for the first position and a second position; and processing training data using the modified ANN to train theType: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2019Publication date: August 22, 2019Applicant: Sony CorporationInventors: Javier Alonso Garcia, Fabien Cardinaux, Kazuki Yoshiyama, Thomas Kemp, Stephen Tiedemann, Stefan Uhlich

Publication number: 20190220741Abstract: A computer-implemented method of training an artificial neural network (ANN) by generating a first learned parameter for use in normalising input data values during a subsequent inference phase of the trained ANN. The method includes, for each of a series of batches of training data values, deriving a batch variance of the batch of training data values and a running variance of all training data values already processed in the training phase; generating an approximation of a current value of the first learned parameter so that a first scaling factor dependent upon the approximation of the first learned parameter and the running variance, is constrained to be equal to a power of two; and normalizing the batch of input data values by a second scaling factor dependent upon the approximation of the current value of the first learned parameter and the batch variance.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2019Publication date: July 18, 2019Applicant: Sony CorporationInventors: Javier Alonso Garcia, Fabien Cardinaux, Kazuki Yoshiyama, Thomas Kemp, Stephen Tiedemann, Stefan Uhlich

Patent number: 8346801Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to a method for video retrieval by providing a first audio video file, determining a first identifier of a first piece of music in the first audio video file, looking up for the first identifier first meta data in a music database, in which said first meta data are associated with said first identifier, providing second meta data of a second piece of music from the music database. The second piece of music is included in a second audio video file. Further the method is conducted by determining a similarity measure by comparing the first and second meta data, and providing the second audio video file or an identifier thereof depending on the similarity measure. Further embodiments relate to a server, a user device and a system and a computer program product for video retrieval.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2010Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Wilhelm Hagg, Jana Eggink, Thomas Kemp, Franck Giron, Javier Alonso Garcia
