Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to using image data and contextual data to determine information about a scene, based on one or more previously obtained images. Contextual data, such location of image capture, can be used to determine previously obtained images related to the contextual data and other location-related information, such as billboard locations. With even low resolution devices, such as cell phone, image attributes, such as a histogram or optically recognized characters, can be compared between the previously obtained images and the newly captured image. Attributes matching within a predefined threshold indicated matching images. Information on the content of matching previously obtained images can be provided back to a user who captured the new image. User profile data can refine the content information. The content information can also be used as search terms for additional searching or other processing.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for performing sequence to sequence (Seq2Seq) speech recognition training performed by at least one processor. The method includes acquiring a training set comprising a plurality of pairs of input data and target data corresponding to the input data, encoding the input data into a sequence of hidden states, performing a connectionist temporal classification (CTC) model training based on the sequence of hidden states, performing an attention model training based on the sequence of hidden states, and decoding the sequence of hidden states to generate target labels by independently performing the CTC model training and the attention model training.

Abstract: A method of treating a well or a subterranean formation with an aqueous treatment fluid containing one or more oil-soluble, water-insoluble well treatment agents. The fluid includes an aqueous dispersion containing the well treatment agent in an amount from 25 to 60 weight percent. The volume average particle diameter of the oil-soluble well treatment agent in the fluid may be less than or equal to 2.5 microns. The fluid may further contain a water-soluble well treatment agent.

Abstract: Methods related to determining and utilizing one or more attributes to associate with an IP addresses. Attributes are determined based on request data provided with requests from an IP address and one or more available secondary information sources. Attributes may include physical locations and/or category designations for the IP address. One or more attributes may be assigned a likelihood value indicative of likelihood that the attribute is associated with the IP address. Some implementations are directed to utilizing the attributes and likelihood values to identify likely fraudulent information provided with requests. Some implementations are directed to utilizing the attributes and likelihood values to provide advertisements in response to requests from IP addresses.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for regenerating a hybrid solvent used to remove contaminants from a fluid stream and to provide an improved yield of purified fluid. Said process comprises at least one purification unit (12) and at least one regeneration unit (40) wherein condensed water 62 from the regeneration unit is recycled back into the purification unit and none of the condensed water is reintroduced into the regeneration unit.
