Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing an overall assessment of a combined inventory item and structure similarity to an initial inventory item and structure. A plurality of inventory items, stored in a database, maybe retrieved to generate a score value corresponding to each of the plurality of inventory items based on a plurality of facets describing the inventory item. Based on the generated score value, a subset of the plurality of inventory items may be determined based on data points representing the subset of the plurality of inventory items that are within a preconfigured Euclidean distance from a centroid representing a data point corresponding to the initial inventory item. One or more structures corresponding to the subset of the plurality of inventory items may be dynamically generated, and their combinations are scored for finding an alternate inventory item and structure.

As a result of the treatment, the radiation-treated reinforcement fibers have a modified or deformed surface, e.g., an abraded and/or porous surface, as compared to reinforcement fibers without a radiation treatment.

Abstract: In a method, coded information of a current block in a current picture is received from a coded video bitstream. The current block is partitioned into a plurality of subblocks. A first flag included in the coded information is obtained, where the first flag indicates whether a cross-component linear model prediction (CCLM) is applied to the current block in which chroma samples of the current block are predicted based on reconstructed luma samples of the current block. In response to the first flag indicating that the CCLM is applied to the current block, respective prediction sample values for the chroma samples in each of the plurality of subblocks of the current block are determined based on the CCLM. The current block is further reconstructed based on the respective prediction sample values for the chroma samples in each of the plurality of subblocks of the current block.

Abstract: Innovations in allocation of bit rate between video streams using machine learning are described. For example, a controller of a video encoder system receives first feedback values that indicate results of encoding part of a first video sequence (e.g., screen content). The controller also receives second feedback values that indicate results of encoding part of a second video sequence (e.g., camera video content). A machine learning model accepts, as inputs, the first feedback values and second feedback values. The machine learning model produces, as output, a reallocation parameter. The controller determines a first target bit rate and a second target bit rate using the reallocation parameter. A first video encoder encodes one or more pictures of the first video sequence at the first target bit rate, and a second video encoder encodes one or more pictures of the second video sequence at the second target bit rate.

Abstract: Innovations in adaptive encoding of screen content based on motion type are described. For example, a video encoder system receives a current picture of a video sequence. The video encoder system determines a current motion type for the video sequence and, based at least in part on the current motion type, sets one or more encoding parameters. Then, the video encoder system encodes the current picture according to the encoding parameter(s). The innovations can be used in real-time encoding scenarios when encoding screen content for a screen sharing application, desktop conferencing application, or other application. In some cases, the innovations allow a video encoder system to adapt compression to different characteristics of screen content at different times within the same video sequence.
