  • Patent number: 11966822
    Abstract: Disclosed are a computer-implemented method, a system and a computer program product for feature processing. In the computer-implemented method for feature processing, two input features selected from multiple features of each sample in a sample set are projected to one resulting feature by one or more processing units based on a specified curve. The sample set is updated by replacing the two input features with the one resulting feature for each sample in the sample set by one or more processing units. The projecting and the updating for the sample set are repeated by one or more processing units until the number of features of each sample in the sample set reaches a predetermined criterion.

  • Patent number: 11671573
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a computer-implemented method that includes using a reinforcement learning (RL) system to generate a first set of displayed region candidates based on inputs received from online users while watching video. A recommendation system is used to rank the first set of displayed region candidates based on inputs received from a local user watching video. The recommendation system is further used to select a first highest ranked one of the first set of displayed region candidates. Based on the first highest ranked one of the first set of displayed region candidates, a first section of a first raw video frame is fetched that matches the first highest ranked one of the first set of displayed candidate regions, wherein the first section of the first raw video frame includes a first predicted display region of the video frame.

  • Patent number: 11651685
    Abstract: Traffic jam patterns can be identified and, based on historical traffic data, pre-traffic jam patterns that are likely to result in the traffic jam patterns can be identified as well.
