The multi-rate compression domain computer vision task decoder generates a computer vision task result according to the compressed image in the coded bitstream and the value of the parameter.

Abstract: Animal-free cheesemaking leveraging mycelium fermentation and microbial bio-design techniques facilitate production of plant-based cheese that exhibits enhanced flavor and texture. In one embodiment, the plant-based cheese is mozzarella, and a manufacturing method begins by fermenting a first mixture of soaked cashews and aquafaba liquid to produce cultured cashews. The cultured cashews are then blended into a second mixture together with additional aquafaba liquid, water, and a pea protein derived from mycelium fermentation. A preferred pea protein is shiitake-fermented pea protein. The second mixture is agitated through several mixing cycles while being progressively heated to produce a liquid blend, which blend is then extruded into the cheese composition. A filling and pack out operation is then applied to the cheese composition to produce the finished product, typically in the form of a mozzarella chub.

Abstract: Implementations of the subject matter described herein provide a solution for rate control based on reinforcement learning. In this solution, an encoding state of a video encoder is determined, the encoding state being associated with encoding of a first video unit by the video encoder. An encoding parameter associated with rate control in the video encoder is determined by a reinforcement learning model and based on the encoding state of the video encoder. A second video unit different from the first video unit is encoded based on the encoding parameter. In this way, it is possible to achieve a better quality of experience (QOE) for real time communication with computation overhead being reduced.
