  • Patent number: 12288413
    Abstract: A computer, including a processor and a memory, the memory including instructions to be executed by the processor to acquire one or more images from a camera and determine first camera noise values based on the one or more images by determining reactions of camera photo receptors to light. The instructions can include further instructions to compare the first camera noise values with second camera noise values determined based on previously acquired images from the camera and output a tamper determination for the camera based on whether the first camera noise values match, within a tolerance value, the second camera noise values determined based on the previously acquired images from the camera.

  • Patent number: 12288150
    Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods provide a novel framework that provides mechanisms for a Deep & Cross Network (DCN) framework that performs distilled deep prediction for personalized stream ranking on portal websites. The disclosed framework is scalable to satisfy the much more stringent latency and computational requirements required by current network operating environments. The disclosed framework is able to dynamically evaluate and leverage live traffic on network sites in order to provide, update and maintain current recommendations for users as they traverse to a portal and when they navigate within the portal. The disclosed framework implements a DCN model(s) that is capable of being compressed into a model size for a unified optimization within a live traffic environment by combining knowledge distillation and model compression techniques. The disclosed framework is built as a light-weight deep learning model that can be served in production and perform on par with large models.
