  • Patent number: 11863791
    Abstract: Methods and systems for non-destructive, stabilization-based encoder optimization. A video item to be provided to one or more users of a platform is identified. An indication of a motion is identified between an initial video frame of a video sequence associated with the video item and a subsequent video frame of the video sequence. One or more motion stabilization transformations are applied to the video item to modify the motion between at least the initial frame and the subsequent frame. Upon applying the one or more motion stabilization transformations to the video item, the video item is encoded. The encoded video item and one or more instructions to cause the client device to reverse the one or more motion stabilization transformations applied to the video item after decoding the encoded video item are transmitted to a client device connected to the platform.

  • Patent number: 11861333
    Abstract: A method for providing autofill suggestions in a development environment includes obtaining, from a user interface executing on a user device, a user input representing source code generated within a development environment. The source code created using a particular programming language and a programming code base. The method further includes determining, using a machine learning model, at least one autofill suggestion based on the user input, the autofill suggestion continuing the source code represented by the user input. The method further includes determining, using a rule-based semantic checker configured for the particular programming language, whether the autofill suggestion is semantically correct based on the development environment and the programming code base. The method also includes, when the autofill suggestion is semantically correct, transmitting the autofill suggestion for display on the user interface of the user device.

  • Patent number: 11862188
    Abstract: A method of detecting a cough in an audio stream includes a step of performing one or more pre-processing steps on the audio stream to generate an input audio sequence comprising a plurality of time-separated audio segments. An embedding is generated by a self-supervised triplet loss embedding model for each of the segments of the input audio sequence using an audio feature set, the embedding model having been trained to learn the audio feature set in a self-supervised triplet loss manner from a plurality of speech audio clips from a speech dataset. The embedding for each of the segments is provided to a model performing cough detection inference. This model generates a probability that each of the segments of the input audio sequence includes a cough episode. The method includes generating cough metrics for each of the cough episodes detected in the input audio sequence.

  • Patent number: 11863690
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to generating telecommunication network measurements. In one aspect, a method includes presenting, by a client device, a digital component that, when interacted with, initiates a call by the client device to a phone number specified by the digital component. A trusted program stores, in a presentation event data structure, a presentation event data element specifying the phone number and resource locator for a reporting system to which reports for the digital component are sent. The trusted program detects a phone call by the client device to a given phone number. The given phone number is compared to one or more presentation event data elements stored in the presentation event data structure. A determination is made that the given phone number matches the phone number specified by the digital component. In response, an event report is transmitted to the reporting system.

  • Patent number: 11860907
    Abstract: A method for shuffle-less reclustering of clustered tables includes receiving a first and second group of clustered data blocks sorted by a clustering key value. A range of clustering key values of one or more the data blocks in the second group overlaps with the range of clustering key values of a data block in the first group. The method also includes generating split points for partitioning the first and second groups of clustered data blocks into a third group. The method also includes partitioning using the split points, the first and second groups into the third group. Each data block in the third group includes a range of clustering key values that do not overlap with any other data block in the third group. Each split point defines an upper limit or lower limit for the range of clustering key values a data block in the third group.

  • Patent number: 11863654
    Abstract: An electronic device monitors audible output for media content being presented in its vicinity. It detects a volume change event within the monitored audible output. It obtains identification of the media content. Based on the identification, the device obtains a list of expected volume change events within the media content. It determines whether the detected volume change event correlates with one of the expected volume change events. In accordance with a determination that there is no correlation, the device determines that the detected volume change event comprises a volume change event from a user of the device. It analyzes the detected volume change event to determine user interest in the presented media content. The determined level of interest is sent to a server system. The device receives from the server system one or more recommendations based on the determined level of interest, and presents to the user the recommendations.

  • Patent number: 11860038
    Abstract: A method includes detecting, with a passive infrared sensor (PIR), a level of infrared radiation in a field of view (FOV) of the PIR, generating a signal based on detected levels over a period of time, the signal having values that exhibit a change in the detected levels, extracting a local feature from a sample of the signal, wherein the local feature indicates a probability that a human in the FOV caused the change in the detected levels, extracting a global feature from the sample of the signal, wherein the global feature indicates a probability that an environmental radiation source caused the change in the detected levels, determining a score based on the local feature and the global feature, and determining that a human motion has been detected in the FOV based on the score.

  • Publication number: 20230421414
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes various aspects of adaptive sounding reference signal mapping that a user equipment (UE) implements to improve channel estimation. In aspects, a set of sounding reference signal (SRS) symbols are generated that include at least first and second SRS symbols. An offset for the second SRS symbol is determined based on a difference between a first radio chain and a second radio chain of the UE. The first and second SRS symbols are then mapped to an antenna port of the first radio chain. The UE transmits the first SRS symbol to a base station via the antenna port of the first radio chain and transmits the second SRS symbol to the base station via the antenna port of the first radio chain while the offset is applied to the first radio chain. By so doing, the UE may improve channel estimation for uplink and/or downlink communications.
