Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to the automatic generation of captions for visual media, including photos, photo albums, non-live video, and live video. The visual media may be analyzed to determine contextual information (such as location information, people and objects in the video, time, etc.). A system may integrate this information with information from the user's social network and a personalized language model built using public-facing language from the user. The personalized language model captures the user's way of speaking to make the generated captions more detailed and personalized. The language model may account for the context in which the video was generated. The captions maybe used to simplify and encourage content generation, and may also be used to index visual media, rank the media, and recommend the media to users likely to engage with the media.

Abstract: A system and method for Crest Factor Reduction (CFR) pulse cancellation (PC) in a single carrier environment or multicarrier telecommunication environment may enable obtaining better signal quality while maintaining Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) and/or power efficiency. A PC signal is generated by multiplying a truncated sinc signal with another window signal. The bandwidth of the PC signal may be greater than the bandwidth of the corresponding carrier signal center. The center frequency of the PC signal may be offset with respect to the center frequency for each given carrier in the multi-carrier scenario to fix the edge effect signal quality/interference problems.

Abstract: An online system customizes video conversations between users of the online system. During a video conversation, the online system presents a composite view to the participating users. The composite view may include visual representations of the users, a background graphic, or other types of graphics such as masks and props that the users can wear or interact with in the environment of the video conversation. The visual representations may be generated based on a live video feed of the users or include avatars of the users. The online system can determine the graphics based on information about the users. For instance, the online system determines a background graphic showing a location that the users have each visited. Upon viewing the background graphic, the users may be encouraged to interact with the background graphic or other graphics included in the composite view, which can promote an engaging video conversation experience.

Abstract: Techniques enabling accounts of a social networking system to monitor online interactions by supervised accounts across multiple platforms are described. For example, a social networking system (SNS) may receive, from a first account, a request to invite a second account to join a Family Center (FC) so the FC includes data associated with first and second platforms of the SNS. The SNS may receive, from the second account, an indication to accept the request to join the FC associating the first and second accounts via the FC. In some examples, the SNS may receive, from the second account, a request to access the FC. Based on receiving the request to access the FC, the SNS may cause presentation to the second account of interaction data associated with interactions between the first account and the first platform of the SNS and the first account and the second platform of the SNS.

Abstract: Techniques for notifying parent accounts of problematic interactions by teens is described. For example, a social networking system may receive, from a first account of the social networking system, an indication of an interaction between the first account and a content item. Based on determining that the interaction is a problematic interaction, the social networking system may send, to a second account associated with the first account, a notification of the problematic interaction. The social networking system may cause presentation, to the second account, of a selectable control associated with one or more resources regarding addressing the problematic interaction.
