  • Patent number: 11764941
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product for homomorphic inference on a decision tree (DT) model. In lieu of HE-based inferencing on the decision tree, the inferencing instead is performed on a neural network (NN), which acts as a surrogate. To this end, the neural network is trained to learn DT decision boundaries, preferably without using the original DT model data training points. During training, a random data set is applied to the DT, and expected outputs are recorded. This random data set and the expected outputs are then used to train the neural network such that the outputs of the neural network match the outputs expected from applying the original data set to the DT. Preferably, the neural network has low depth, just a few layers. HE-based inferencing on the decision tree is done using HE inferencing on the shallow neural network. The latter is computationally-efficient and is carried without the need for bootstrapping.

The auditory characteristics of the user are identified based on a calibration process. The method further includes transmitting, by the computer, the acoustic signals to the two speakers. The acoustic signals simulate that the sound originated at the emanating location in space.

  • Patent number: 11748938
    Abstract: A VR (Virtual Reality) simulator acquires a virtual space image by imaging a virtual space from a virtual user position corresponding to a real user position. The VR simulator draws the virtual space image on a curved screen installed at a position distant from a user. A virtual screen position in a virtual space corresponds to the installation position of the curved screen. An inverse curved screen is placed at the virtual screen position and curved inversely to the curved screen. The VR simulator acquires a first virtual space image by imaging the virtual space from the virtual user position, and draws the first virtual space image on the inverse curved screen. Further, the VR simulator acquires a second virtual space image by imaging the first virtual space image on the inverse curved screen from the virtual user position, and draws the second virtual space image on the curved screen.

  • Patent number: 11748840
    Abstract: Graphics processing renders a scene with a plurality of different rendering parameters for different locations on a screen area. Each primitive of a batch of primitives belonging to an object covering at least two of the zones of the screen area is assembled to a screen space. Assembling each of the primitives includes iterating each primitive with a primitive assembler for each of the zones covered by the object. Each said zone is associated with a different set of screen space transform parameters used to transform locations of vertices in the batch of primitives from a homogenous coordinate space to a screen space that is not flat. The zones are arranged to minimize an overlap between zones.

  • Patent number: 11714612
    Abstract: A graphical user interface (“GUI”) personalization application automatically generates a GUI for a software application. In operation, the GUI personalization application tracks interactions between a user and a first GUI that is associated with the software application and a GUI framework. The GUI personalization application then computes a behavioral simplification for the first GUI based on the interactions and the GUI framework. Subsequently, the GUI personalization application modifies the first GUI based on the behavioral simplification to generate a second GUI for the user that is associated with the software application and the GUI framework. Advantageously, the GUI personalization application can more efficiently and reliably improve the quality of the overall user experience when interacting with the software application across a wider range of users relative to prior art approaches.
