  • Increasing dimensionality of data structures
    Patent number: 11676109
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for increasing dimensionality of data structures associated with filling positions. In some implementations, a prediction of desired experience for a given position to be filled may be used to increase the dimensionality of a searchable data structure that represents the given position. For example, the predicted desired experience may be incorporated into a searchable field of the data structure. Among other things, increasing the dimensionality of the data structure may facilitate more granular searching of positions and guided creation of new positions to be filled. In some implementations, a predicted desired experience may be used to notify a user posting a new position whether a specified desired experience corresponds to a predicted desired experience.

  • Image sensors with adaptive filtering for row noise mitigation
    Patent number: 11678084
    Abstract: An image sensor may include adaptive filtering circuitry that is used to correct for row noise. In one example, the image sensor may include a single reference pixel or a column of reference pixels that are shielded from incident light. The adaptive filtering circuitry may estimate row noise based on data from the reference pixel(s). Row noise correction circuitry may then subtract the estimated row noise from imaging pixel outputs to correct for row noise. If the row noise is dominated by supply noise, the reference pixels may be omitted entirely and the adaptive filtering circuitry may estimate row noise based only on the power supply voltage. The adaptive filtering circuitry may undergo a training phase to optimize coefficients for the adaptive filtering circuitry.
