Publication number: 20220076074Abstract: In embodiments of the present disclosure, a method, device and computer-readable medium for multi-source domain adaptation are provided. The method comprises generating a first representation of a target image through a first trained classifier, generating a second representation of the target image through a second trained classifier, and generating a third representation of the target image through a third trained classifier. A mutual learning is conducted among the first, second and third classifiers during the training. The method further comprises determining a classification label of the target image based on the first, second and third representations. The present disclosure proposes a mutual learning network for multi-source domain adaptation, which can improve the accuracy of label generation for images.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2020Publication date: March 10, 2022Applicant: BEIJING DIDI INFINITY TECHNOLOGY AND DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Zhenpeng LI, Yuhong GUO, Zhen ZHAO

Publication number: 20210294832Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for determining similarities in content preferences among a plurality of users and generating content recommendations based on a requesting user's content consumption history. A requesting user may access the recommendation system to request content items for consumption. The recommendation system may be configured to identify users having consumed the same or similar content items as the requesting user, and to determine a ratio of content items consumed by the requesting user and an identified user to the total number of content items previously consumed by the requesting user. In one embodiment, the system may determine a degree of similarity in content preferences between the two users based on an inverse proportion of a level of popularity associated with the content items consumed by the requesting user and the identified user (e.g., sampled user).Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2021Publication date: September 23, 2021Inventor: Zhen Zhao

Publication number: 20210141785Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content providing, searching and/or hosting systems supported by or configured with devices, servers and/or platforms. The disclosed systems and methods provide a novel framework that automatically generates and dynamically updates an interactive user interface (UI) that comprises digital information related to multiple processes and operations. The UI provides uniform functionality across platforms, devices and/or services being utilized to view and/or interact with the UI and/or interface objects (e.g., tiles) included therein. The UI provides a dynamic mechanism for assets to be controlled, as well as mechanisms to compare the data of different assets by which certain assets can be subsequently manipulated.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2020Publication date: May 13, 2021Inventors: Brian Kenneth Erickson, Vinay T.

Publication number: 20200394892Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for detecting a state transition for sensors of a monitoring system, and determining whether the state transition is abnormal such that further action is warranted. The determination may be based on a history of state transitions in the monitoring system, and may be based on whether the same state transition has previously occurred at a corresponding time in the history, whether the new state has previously occurred following the corresponding time in the history, and other factors.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2019Publication date: December 17, 2020Inventor: Zhen Zhao
