  • Patent number: 12256125
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments are directed toward local emotion detection during live streaming events. A client device receives a video stream from a remote server and captures media content while displaying the video stream. The client device uses a local machine learning/artificial intelligence event detection model to detect events in the media content. The client device then transmits detected events to the remote server involved in the live stream. The client device may additionally stream the locally captured media content to the remote server. In response, the remote server provides an interaction dashboard and, in some embodiments, mixes the local media content with the live stream.

  • Patent number: 12254036
    Abstract: A multimedia content item is summarized based on its audio track and a desired compression budget. The audio track is extracted and processed by an automatic speech recognizer to obtain a time-aligned text transcript. The text-transcript is partitioned into a plurality of segment sequences. An informativeness score based on a salience score and a diversity score is computed for each of the segments. A coherence score is also computed for the segments in the plurality of sequences. A subsequence of one of the segment sequences that optimizes for informativeness and coherence is selected for generating a new content item summarizing the multimedia content item.

  • Patent number: 12223399
    Abstract: The present teaching relates to method, system, medium, and implementations for machine learning. Upon receiving input data associated with a time series, hidden representations associated with the time series in a feature space are obtained and used to generate a query vector in a query space. Such generated query vector is then used to query relevant historic information related to the time series. The query vector and the relevant historic information are aggregated to generate at least one queried vector, which is aggregated with the hidden representations to generate enriched hidden representations that enhance the expressiveness of the hidden representations.
