Abstract: Gait, the walking pattern of individuals, is one of the important biometrics modalities. Most of the existing gait recognition methods take silhouettes or articulated body models as gait features. These methods suffer from degraded recognition performance when handling confounding variables, such as clothing, carrying and viewing angle. To remedy this issue, this disclosure proposes to explicitly disentangle appearance, canonical and pose features from RGB imagery. A long short-term memory integrates pose features over time as a dynamic gait feature while canonical features are averaged as a static gait feature. Both of them are utilized as classification features.

Abstract: A low-heat-loss operation method of a line-focusing heat collection system and the line-focusing heat collection system are provided. The method includes the following steps. Solar energy is utilized to preheat a collector tube in an empty tube state, so that the collector tube is in a preheating mode. After a set preheating temperature is reached, a heat transfer working medium is injected into the collector tube. In the injection process of the heat transfer working medium, an injection section of the collector tube is converted into a focusing mode from a preheating mode. After heat collection is finished, the circulation of the heat transfer working medium is stopped, and the focusing mode of the collector tube is kept. In the drainage process of the heat transfer working medium, an emptying section of the collector tube is converted into a light heat-tracing mode from a focusing mode.

Abstract: An online concierge system receives a request to purchase a gift for a user of the system and retrieves a profile associated with the user. Based on the profile and attributes of items included among inventories of one or more retailer locations, the system identifies a set of candidate items for which the user is likely to have an affinity. The system accesses a machine learning model trained to predict a giftability score for an item and applies the model to attributes of each candidate item to predict its giftability score. Based on its giftability score and the profile, the system computes a composite score for each candidate item indicating an appropriateness of gifting the candidate item to the user. The system ranks the set of candidate items based on the composite scores and selects one or more suggested items for gifting to the user based on the ranking.
