Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses are described for enabling base station-user equipment messaging regarding deep neural networks. A network entity (base station 121, core network server 320) determines a neural network formation configuration (architecture and/or parameter configurations 1208) for a deep neural network (deep neural network(s) 604, 608, 612, 616) for processing communications transmitted over the wireless communication system. The network entity (base station 121, core network server 302) communicates the neural network formation configuration to a user equipment (UE 110). The user equipment (UE 110) configures a first neural network (deep neural network(s) 608, 612) based on the neural network formation configuration. In implementations, the user equipment (UE 110) recovers information communicated over the wireless network using the first neural network (deep neural network(s) 608, 612).

Abstract: A change in the emotional state of a user of a device is detected, and in response to this change a reason for the change in user emotional state is determined. This determination is made based on both the current user emotional state and context data for the device or user. The device then adapts to the user based on the current emotional state and the reason for the change in user emotional state. This adaptation of the computing device refers to an alteration of the operation of the computing device with a goal of increasing the likelihood of the user being in a good emotional state (e.g., happy, relaxed) and reducing the likelihood of the user being in a bad emotional state (e.g., sad, angry).

Abstract: In certain embodiments, a vehicle may obtain a video stream via a camera system of the vehicle. The video stream may be processed to extract one or more feature vectors from the video stream. Based on the feature vectors extracted from the video stream, vehicle description information related to one or more parked vehicles in the parking area may be determined. Space information indicating locations of the parked vehicles relative to available parking spaces in the parking area may also be determined based on the feature vectors extracted from the video stream. A mapping of the parking area may then be generated based on the vehicle description information and the space information.
