Abstract: A system having at least a first component and a second component positioned at different locations on a user's body (e.g., on the user's head and held on the user's hand). Each component includes at least one inertial measurement unit (IMU) configured generate measurements indicating acceleration and angular rate data. The generated measurements of the IMUs are used with ground truth information indicating the positions of the first and second component to generate a set of training data to train a neural network configured to predict a relative position between the first and second components based on IMU measurements received over a predetermined time period. Because the neural network is trained based upon movements of a human user, the neural network model takes into account physiological constraints of the user in determining how the set of potential positions of the different components may change over time, reducing potential error.

Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to facilitating end-to-end multilingual communications with automated assistants. In various implementations, speech recognition output may be generated based on voice input in a first language. A first language intent may be identified based on the speech recognition output and fulfilled in order to generate a first natural language output candidate in the first language. At least part of the speech recognition output may be translated to a second language to generate an at least partial translation, which may then be used to identify a second language intent that is fulfilled to generate a second natural language output candidate in the second language. Scores may be determined for the first and second natural language output candidates, and based on the scores, a natural language output may be selected for presentation.

Abstract: A system and method for evaluation, detection, conditioning, and treatment of neurological functioning and conditions which uses data obtained while a person is engaged in simultaneously in a range of primary physical tasks combined with defined types of secondary activity, such as listening, reading, speaking, mathematics, logic puzzles, navigation of a virtual environment, recall of past stimuli, etc. The data from the physical and secondary activities are combined to generate a composite functioning score visualization indicating the relative functioning of areas aspects of neurological functioning; including those in which deficiencies may be present, which are early indicators of possible neurological conditions. Through algorithmic recommendations combined with expert and user input, a conditioning regimen targeting neurological aspects of interest paired with periodic testing allows the user to track their progress in these areas over time.

Abstract: The present teaching relates to method, system, medium, and implementations for machine learning. A training sample is first received from a source. A prediction is generated according to the training sample and based on one or more parameters associated with a model. A metric characterizing the prediction is also determined. The prediction and the metric are transmitted to the source to facilitate a determination on whether a ground truth label for the training sample is to be provided. When the ground truth label is received from the source, the one or more parameters of the model are updated based on the prediction and the ground truth label.

Data may be routed over optical inter-satellite links using Software Defined Networking concepts to provide MEO-LEO (backhaul and ground access), LEO-LEO (upstream & downstream); and (3) MEO-MEO (crosslinks & downlinks). Further, implementations described herein include secure user terminal (UT) to UT IP routing in the constellation for direct UT to UT communication.

Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for using synthetic resource records to configure and manage web applications and various online services. A user is provided with the ability to setup a single synthetic resource record for their domain such that all of the associated dependent resource records are automatically configured and added to the domain as well. The methods and systems provided utilize synthetic resource records as a way of logically grouping resource records into “human readable” sets of resource records. Through synthetic resource records, users are able to address common configuration issues without having to know the technical specifications of associated zone files or resource records. Additionally, users can complete a variety of configuration tasks related to setting-up web applications without having to look-up resource record values from external sites (e.g., from the domain host).
