Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for performing object recognition are provided. The method includes: by converting a first feature of a target object extracted using a first extraction model to a feature space of a second extraction model through a first feature conversion model, obtaining a second feature of the target object in the feature space; by matching the second feature of the target object with features of objects in a matching library, obtaining a target feature matched with the second feature of the target object; determining an object to which the target feature belongs as a matching object of the target object. Thus, the present disclosure can save time length of object recognition.

Abstract: To provide a judgment apparatus capable of achieving improved judgment accuracy, a judgment apparatus according to an embodiment judges a judgment target as pass or fail based on pass judgment characteristic information produced using characteristic amounts extracted from previously collected monitoring data items of judgment targets judged as pass. The pass/fail judgment processing includes extracting the characteristic amounts from monitoring data items of judgment targets sequentially input and successively performing pass/fail judgment of the judgment targets based on the pass judgment characteristic information. When one of the judgment targets is judged as pass in the successive pass/fail judgment, the characteristic amount of the judgment target judged as pass is used to update the pass judgment characteristic information. Pass/fail judgment of a judgment target subsequent to the judgment target judged as pass is performed based on the updated pass judgment characteristic information.

Abstract: In a memory error processing method, a processor of a computer apparatus obtains from a basic input/output system (BIOS) first error description information that describes a type of a first error that has occurred in a first memory page. Based on the first error description information, the processing device identifies the type of the first error to be a first type, wherein an error of the first type is a corrected error and is not a mirror scrub success error. The processor then determines that a number of errors of the first type that occurred in the first memory page has reached a threshold. In response to the determining, the processing device takes the first memory page offline.

Abstract: A storage device maintains uniform write performance for data written to a memory device including varying block sizes. The storage device includes a balancing module to ensure that free blocks exist in a partition on the memory device and to define a garbage collection threshold based on blocks available in the partition. The storage device also includes a controller to receive host data from a host device, write the host data to the memory device; and relocate the host data in the memory device during a background operation. The controller initiates the background operation on the memory device at the garbage collection threshold and executes the background operation according to a host write-to-relocation write ratio based on a dynamically calculated size of the remaining free blocks in the partition.

Abstract: A key-value storage device may perform error-handling on key-value data stored in a memory device. The key-value storage device may be communicatively coupled to a host device that may transmit read commands to retrieve the key-value data stored on the memory device. In response to a read command, the storage device may retrieve the key-value data from the memory device. If during retrieval the storage device identifies that a portion of the key-value data is irretrievable, the storage device may perform an error-handling operation on the key-value data. Depending on a key-value data type, the storage device may perform an error concealment operation and return complete key-value data or a partial error-handling operation and return partial key-value data to the host.
