Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for combining a first annotation and a second annotation in an electronic document. The first annotation is received and corresponds to a first portion of the electronic document. The second annotation is received and corresponds to a second portion of the electronic document. A first position of a layout rendering of the first annotation is determined, and a second position of a layout rendering of the second annotation is determined. The first position of the layout rendering of the first annotation is compared to the second position of the layout rendering of the second annotation. When the first position conflicts with the second position, the first annotation and the second annotation are combined to form a stacked annotation.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus include computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium, including a system for ranking videos. Videos are identified that have been presented at client devices. For each video, session start data is identified that specifies a lead video that initiated presentation to a user during a presentation session. For each lead video, presentation times over multiple user sessions are determined, a scaled presentation time is obtained, user sessions for which the lead video initiated presentation of videos are identified, and an aggregate video presentation time attributable to the lead video is determined. For each given video, a presentation score is determined based on a scaled presentation time of the lead video relative to a sum of the aggregate video presentation times for the lead videos. The videos are ranked based on the presentation scores. A user interface is updated to present the ranked videos.

Abstract: A computing device may receive an indication of a detected movement of the computing device. Responsive to a determination to output an indication of notification data, the computing device may output, for presentation to a user of the computing device by an output device, the indication of the notification data. The determination to output the indication of the notification data may be based on a degree of correspondence between the detected movement of the computing device and a predefined movement of the computing device and may also be based on one or more characteristics of the notification data.

Abstract: A method of generating user groups using sharding parameters is disclosed. The method identifies a set of sharding parameters including a number of user groups and a set of attributes associated with the number of user groups. The method defines one or more shards based on the number of user groups. The method further creates a user group based on the set of sharding parameters. The method further in response to determining that a number of users in the created user group exceeds a maximum number of users, modifies the set of sharding parameters. The method generates one or more modified user groups based on the modified set of sharding parameters, wherein each of the one or more user groups includes more than a single user.

Abstract: Gesture detection and interaction techniques are described. Object detection used to support the gestures may be accomplished in a variety of ways, such as by using radio waves as part of a radar technique. In a first example, the techniques are implemented such that one hand of a user sets a context for a gesture that is defined by another hand of the user. In another example, a gesture recognition mode is utilized. In yet another example, detection of distance is used such that the same motions may be used to different between operations performed. In a further example, split gestures are supported. In another instance, entry into a gesture recognition mode may be implemented through touch and then recognized through three-dimensional orientation and motion of that hand or another.

Abstract: Implementations are related to providing image selection suggestions. In some implementations, a method includes receiving first user input indicative of selection of one or more first images in an image library and determining one or more first image characteristics of the one or more first images. The method further includes identifying one or more second images in the image library. Each image of the one or more second images is associated with at least one second image characteristic that matches at least one of the one or more first image characteristics. The method further includes causing a user interface to be displayed. The user interface includes the one or more second images and enables selection of the one or more second images by a user.

Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems that enable a radar-image shaper for radar-based applications. A radar field enables an electronic device to accurately determine a characteristic disposition (e.g., a location, orientation, velocity, or direction) of an object in the radar field. The characteristic disposition is determined by detecting a radar cross-section (or radar signature) of a radar-image shaper that is included in the object. The shape of the radar-image shaper produces a known signature when illuminated by the radar field. Using these techniques, the electronic device can determine a characteristic disposition of the object, which allows the object to be used to interact with the electronic device using gestures and other position-based techniques. Because the radar-image shaper enables a passive object to control applications on the electronic device, users have an interaction method with a rich library of gestures and controls that does not require additional components or a battery.

Abstract: Implementations generally relate to locking a camera onto a sub-region to capture images of the sub-region with a moving camera. In some implementations, a method includes determining a first region in a scene detected by a camera while the camera is in a first physical position. The method further includes receiving user input to target a sub-region within the first capture region of the scene and capturing the first image of the sub-region while the camera is in the first physical position. The first image is displayed in a fixed orientation on a preview portion of a display screen. The camera is moved to a second physical position and a second capture region of the scene is detected. The method further includes capturing a second image is of the sub-region and displaying it in the fixed orientation on the preview portion of the display screen. The second image is effective to inform a user of whether capture of the sub-region is altered by camera movement.

Abstract: The technology relates to generating a wireless network access point model for determining locations within an area. In one example, a plurality of scan vectors, each scan vector representing a set of signal strengths for a set of wireless network access point identifiers and being associated with a location within the area at which a mobile device moving through the area measured the set of signal strengths are received. A set of clusters is generated by iterating through a split phase until the number of clusters in the set of clusters equals a maximum number of clusters or there are no bad scan vectors identified. A bad scan vector may include a vector having a vector difference from a center of a cluster to which that vector is assigned is less than a minimum similarity value. The set of cluster is then used to generate the model of the area.

Abstract: A method includes identifying a first table including data. The first table has associated metadata, an associated replication state, an associated replication log file including replication logs logging mutations of the first table, and an associated replication configuration file including a first association that associates the first table with a replication family. The method includes inserting a second association in the replication configuration file that associates a second table having a non-loadable state with the replication family. The association of the second table with the replication family causes persistence of any replication logs in the replication log file that correspond to any mutations of the first table during the existence of the second table. The method further includes generating a third table from the first table, the metadata associated with the first table, and the associated replication state of the first table.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods that perform face reconstruction based on an image of a face. In particular, one example system of the present disclosure combines a machine-learned image recognition model with a face modeler that uses a morphable model of a human's facial appearance. The image recognition model can be a deep learning model that generates an embedding in response to receipt of an image (e.g., an uncontrolled image of a face). The example system can further include a small, lightweight, translation model structurally positioned between the image recognition model and the face modeler. The translation model can be a machine-learned model that is trained to receive the embedding generated by the image recognition model and, in response, output a plurality of facial modeling parameter values usable by the face modeler to generate a model of the face.
