  • Publication number: 20240147177
    Abstract: One example method includes presenting, by a client device, a view of a virtual conference hosted by a virtual conference provider, the virtual conference including a plurality of participants, the client device associated with a participant of the plurality of participants, the view including a plurality of groupings of participants within a virtual conference area, each grouping associated with a different meeting or sub-meeting of the virtual conference; assign a location within the virtual conference area to the participant; receiving, at the client device from the conference provider, one or more audio streams associated with one or more audio sources within the plurality of groupings, the one or more audio streams provided by one or more remote client devices; determining a first location within the virtual conference area of a first audio source of the one or more audio sources; generating a plurality of spatialized audio streams based on the first location of the first audio source, the location of th

  • Publication number: 20240129685
    Abstract: One example method for music collaboration using virtual conferencing includes receiving, by a client device, audio streams associated with a plurality of musicians in a virtual conference, each musician assigned to a virtual position within a virtual space established by the virtual conference, the client device associated with a participant in the virtual conference, the participant having a participant virtual position within the virtual space; determining relative virtual positions of each musician of at least a subset of the plurality of musicians in the virtual conference with respect to the participant virtual position; generating a plurality of spatialized audio streams based on the relative virtual positions of the respective musicians and the respective audio streams; and outputting the spatialized audio streams.

  • Publication number: 20240086650
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a relation extraction system adapted to financial entities and fused with prior knowledge and a method thereof, the system at least comprising: a deep pretraining module, for training and generating a deep pretrained model for recognizing attributes of the financial entities; a keyword analyzing module, for extracting and outputting positional information and importance vectors of keywords in a Chinese finance-related text; an attention mechanism module, for encoding the positional information of the keywords to obtain attention masks, and inputting them with entity information into the deep pretrained model to acquire text feature vectors; and an optimal margin distribution model module, for predicting financial-entity relations based on the text feature vectors and the importance vectors.

  • Publication number: 20230353678
    Abstract: One example method for providing spatial audio in virtual conference includes receiving, at a client device from a conference provider, an audio stream associated with an audio source, the audio stream provided by a remote client device, the client device and the remote client device participating in a virtual conference hosted by the conference provider, the client device associated with a user; determining a location of the audio source in the virtual conference with respect to the user's head; generating a plurality of spatialized audio streams based on the locations of the audio source and the audio stream; and outputting the spatialized audio streams.
