Abstract: Using a set of menu to key process mappings, historical menu usage data for an application is aggregated into aggregated key process usage data. A set of key process association rules, each comprising a consequent key process given a particular antecedent key process, is generated. From the set of key process association rules and a set of ranked menus by frequency of usage within each key process, a set of model menu recommendations is generated. According to an application usage history, a menu frequency ratio, and a confidence value of a modelled next menu, the set of menu recommendations is scored. A scored menu recommendation having a rank below a threshold rank is pruned from a set of menu items of the application ranked according to their scores. The pruned set of scored menu recommendations is presented for selection instead of the set of menu items.

Abstract: In various examples, live perception from sensors of a vehicle may be leveraged to generate potential paths for the vehicle to navigate an intersection in real-time or near real-time. For example, a deep neural network (DNN) may be trained to compute various outputs—such as heat maps corresponding to key points associated with the intersection, vector fields corresponding to directionality, heading, and offsets with respect to lanes, intensity maps corresponding to widths of lanes, and/or classifications corresponding to line segments of the intersection. The outputs may be decoded and/or otherwise post-processed to reconstruct an intersection—or key points corresponding thereto—and to determine proposed or potential paths for navigating the vehicle through the intersection.
