Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to methods and systems for complex natural language task understanding for embodied robots or agents. Conventional works on relation extraction generally find relevant triplets in a natural language phrase, but neither ground the task nor ground the arguments. The present disclosure implements a Grounded Argument and Task Extraction (GATE) technique that extracts a set of tasks and relevant arguments from the complex natural language instruction. The GATE uses an encoder-decoder neural network with nested decoding technique. The extracted tasks are mapped (grounded) to the known skill set of the robot and arguments are mapped (grounded) to objects within the environment, classifies the tokens as many times as possible which existing sequence labeling cannot do.

Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) receives a media broadcast including media items and embedded watermarks. A watermark detection module included in the RF receiver operates in a low-power state, during which the watermark detection module does not attempt to detect the embedded watermarks. The watermark detection circuitry is activated, thereby transitioning from the low-power state to an active state, in response to receiving an attention marker. during the active state the watermark detection circuitry attempts to detect the embedded watermarks in the media broadcast, and continues to do so until an indication that watermark detection is to be discontinued is received. In response to receiving the indication that the watermark detection is to be discontinued, the watermark detection module is again placed in the low-power state.

Abstract: A method is disclosed. The method includes receiving from a resource provider computer, an authorization request message with a value for a transaction. The method includes transmitting the authorization request message comprising the value to an authorizing entity computer, and determining that an authorization response message in reply to the authorization request message has not been received, and that a time since the authorization request message was transmitted exceeds a time threshold. If the value in the authorization request message is below or equal to a value threshold, the server computer generates an authorization response message on behalf of the authorizing entity computer and transmits it to the resource provider computer. If the value in the authorization request message is above the value threshold, then the server computer continues to wait for an authorization response message from the authorizing entity computer.
