Abstract: A method for arbitrarily grouping computer system resources includes receiving a resource policy to be applied to a group of resources associated with a user. The resource policy includes a unique user-defined label assigned to each resource of the group of resources. The method also includes identifying the group of resources among a plurality of resources using the user-defined label. Here, the plurality of resources is associated with the user and distributed across a plurality of different computing environments. For each identified resource of the group of resources, the method also includes applying the resource policy to a corresponding identified resource by accessing the respective computing environment where the corresponding identified resource resides.

Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to generating training data, such that each instance of training data includes a corresponding instance of vision data and drivability label(s) for the instance of vision data. A drivability label can be determined using first vision data from a first vision component that is connected to the robot. The drivability label(s) can be generated by processing the first vision data using geometric and/or heuristic methods. Second vision data can be generated using a second vision component of the robot, such as a camera that is connected to the robot. The drivability labels can be correlated to the second vision data and thereafter used to train one or more machine learning models. The trained models can be shared with a robot(s) in furtherance of enabling the robot(s) to determine drivability of areas captured in vision data, which is being collected in real-time using one or more vision components.

Abstract: This document describes methods and devices for a handover of a user equipment from source base station (a Fifth Generation (5G) New Radio (NR) base station) to a target base station (another 5G NR base station or an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) network base station). The source base station, which is in communication with the user equipment, determines to handover the user equipment to the target base station. The source base station, then determines whether to use a delta configuration or a full configuration for handing over the user equipment. For the full configuration, the source base station either excludes the delta configuration from, or indicates use of the full configuration in, handover preparation information. By so doing, the source base station enables handover of the user equipment to the target base station.

Abstract: Described is a technique for optimization an image for facial detection. More specifically, described is a process of predicting the location of a face within an image and adjusting image settings based on at least a portion of the predicted location of the face. An image may be adjusted based on the characteristics of a metering region, which may be selected prior to performing facial detection. For example, the metering region may be a specified shape with dimensions equal to a certain percentage of the input image and placed at a specified location. The result of using such a metering region is that the image adjustments may be based on a portion of the face, and therefore, may be optimized for facial detection.

Abstract: Visual-inertial odometry uses visual input from a camera and inertial motion measurements to track the motion of an object. This technique can be applied to surveying urban environments, such as a curb or streetscape, that are impractical to survey with a surveyor's wheel, GPS, or imagery from cars. Making visual-inertial odometry measurements of a curb with a handheld surveying device yields relative measurements from a starting point to an ending point on the curb. These relative measurements can be pinned to an absolute coordinate frame using measurements of gravity made while acquiring the visual-inertial odometry measurements and absolute measurements of the starting and ending points.

The merged and sorted data elements may be transposed and stored.

Abstract: A transformer-transducer model for unifying streaming and non-streaming speech recognition includes an audio encoder, a label encoder, and a joint network. The audio encoder receives a sequence of acoustic frames, and generates, at each of a plurality of time steps, a higher order feature representation for a corresponding acoustic frame. The label encoder receives a sequence of non-blank symbols output by a final softmax layer, and generates, at each of the plurality of time steps, a dense representation. The joint network receives the higher order feature representation and the dense representation at each of the plurality of time steps, and generates a probability distribution over possible speech recognition hypothesis. The audio encoder of the model further includes a neural network having an initial stack of transformer layers trained with zero look ahead audio context, and a final stack of transformer layers trained with a variable look ahead audio context.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for suppressing search results to personally objectionable content. One of the methods includes receiving an identifier of a resource that has image content. A first classifier classifies the image content as including objectionable content or not including objectionable content. A second classifier classifies the image content as including professionally produced content or not including professionally produced content. Whenever the image content is classified as including objectionable content and as not including professionally produced content, the resource is designated as having personally objectionable content.

Abstract: Processor(s) of a client device can: receive sensor data that captures environmental attributes of an environment of the client device; process the sensor data using a machine learning model to generate a predicted output that dictates whether one or more currently dormant automated assistant functions are activated; making a decision as to whether to trigger the one or more currently dormant automated assistant functions; subsequent to making the decision, determining that the decision was incorrect; and in response to determining that the determination was incorrect, generating a gradient based on comparing the predicted output to ground truth output. In some implementations, the generated gradient is used, by processor(s) of the client device, to update weights of the on-device speech recognition model. In some implementations, the generated gradient is additionally or alternatively transmitted to a remote system for use in remote updating of global weights of a global speech recognition model.
