Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method and an apparatus including processing circuitry for video decoding. The processing circuitry decodes coded information for a transform block (TB) from a coded video bitstream. The coded information indicates one of intra prediction mode information that indicates an intra prediction mode used for the TB, a size of the TB, and a primary transform type used for the TB. The processing circuitry determines a context for entropy decoding a secondary transform index based on the one of the intra prediction mode information for the TB, the size of the TB, and the primary transform type used for the TB. The secondary transform index indicates a secondary transform in a set of secondary transforms that is to be performed on the TB. The processing circuitry entropy decodes the secondary transform index based on the context and performs the secondary transform.

Abstract: A method for tracking medical specimens includes, at a first location, preparing a specimen container comprising an identification label having a unique, machine-readable code. Test orders are received and recorded on an electronic test order database. The test orders specify one or more specimens to be collected from a patient at a remote patient specimen collection location. The specimen container is transported to the remote patient specimen collection location and the one or more specimens are collected into the specimen container. The identification label's unique, machine-readable code is scanned, and the unique, machine-readable code is recorded on the electronic test order database for electronically associating the specimen container with the patient.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for training machine learning models using precision data based on movement and timing of data collection. The system trains the machine learning model to predict object locations in an environment. The training data includes location data, timing data, and motion data, collection of which is triggered by a user input indicating that a particular object was located. The system generates precision parameters for the locations by assigning initial values to entries within the training data and may lower precision parameters based on the timing data indicating that an object was located faster than a threshold time or based on the motion data indicating that a rate of motion exceeded a threshold rate when a corresponding object was located. The system may update the training data with the lowered precision parameters and train the machine learning model to predict the object locations within the environment.
