  • Training machine learning models for physical agents and robotic controls with simulations
    Patent number: 10824913
    Abstract: Techniques for performing image-augmentation based simulations on are described. An exemplary embodiment of such performances includes for each tuple of timestamped image and movement data, generating a next image using an image generation neural network based on the timestamped image and movement data, the image being input into the image generation neural network as a non-rendered image, and generating a reward using a reward generating neural network based on the timestamped image and movement data.

  • Ranked navigation element
    Patent number: 9406083
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for a navigation element generation application. A navigation element comprising a plurality of navigation aids is generated responsive to a search query and other data. A relevance score is calculated for the navigation element. The navigation element is inserted into a ranked list of search result items as a function of the relevance score and communicated to a client.
