A search system uses machine learning models generate a target vector based on query features of a search query and a set of listing vectors based on listing features of listings identified as part of the search query. The target vector represents an estimated optimal listing for the search query and each listing vector represents a corresponding listing identified as part of the search query. The search system determines distances (e.g., Euclidian distance) between each listing vector and the target vector. The determined distances indicate how similar each listing is to the estimated optimal listing for the search query. The search system ranks the listings based on the distances such that listings that are similar to the estimated optimal listing are ranked higher than listing that are not similar to the estimated optimal listing.

The data matching methods and systems (DMS) are robust against inconsistencies within the data to be matched (such as typographical errors, minor mismatches etc), within a certain predetermined similarity threshold (q), usually described as a percentage. The disclosed methods and systems (DMS) allow fast, low latency turnaround by aggregating the data items to be matched into data structures (M1, M2) that facilitate group-wise matching as opposed to pair-wise matching.

  • Patent number: 11741710
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods related to video analysis using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) are described. For example, a data storage device can be configured to perform the computation of an ANN to recognize or classify features captured in the video images. The recognition or classification results of a prior video frame can be used to accelerate the analysis of the next video frame. The ANN can be organized in layers, where the intermediate result of a current layer can be further analyzed by a next layer for improved accuracy and confidence level. Before or while processing using the next layer, the intermediate result can be compared to the results obtained for the prior frame. If, in view of the results of the prior frame, the confidence level of the intermediate result is boosted to above a threshold, the subsequent layer(s) can be skipped or terminated early.

  • Patent number: 11728907
    Abstract: Embodiments are provided for replacing media items in a queue of a playback device. An example implementation involves receiving, at the playback device, first data indicating an addition of a first media item to a queue. The playback device determines that the first media item is no longer accessible to the playback device at a later second time. The playback device initiates a query for a media item similar to the first media item and receives second data indicating that a second media item has replaced the first media item in the queue, the second media item being similar to the first media item. In response, the playback device initiates playback of the second media item on the playback device.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus include computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium, including a method for providing content. Search results responsive to a query are identified including a first search result in a top set of search results, the first search result associated with a first entity. A first eligible content item is identified for presentation along with the search results, the first eligible content item associated with the first entity. A combined content item is identified that is a combination of the first search result and first eligible content item and is to be presented as a search result responsive to the query. The combined content item is augmented including: identifying entities related to the first entity, identifying content items that are associated with the related entities, selecting at least one identified content item, and using content from the selected content items to augment the combined content item.

  • Patent number: 11722742
    Abstract: A method and a graphic user interface for displaying digital media objects and dynamically calculating their quality indicators. A first digital media object is displayed on a first computing device. A first user provides one of predefined inputs corresponding either to a positive or a negative response to the first digital media object. The quality indicator of the first digital media object is increased if the response is positive and decreased if the response is negative. The amount of increase or decrease is calculated based on a coefficient value associated with the first user. Subsequent responses to the first digital media object from other users impact the quality indicator of the first digital media object and, also, impact the coefficient value of the first user. Updated coefficient value of the first user is used to calculate impact of subsequent responses of the first user to other digital media objects.
