  • Patent number: 12646083
    Abstract: Non-limiting examples of the present disclosure describe analysis of venue data and prediction of trendiness of venues based on analyzing the venue data. As an example, one or more new venues are determined. The one or more new venues are determined by identification of a venue that has venue data existing for a period of time less than or equal to a predetermined time threshold. The venue data associated with the one or more new venues is evaluated. A predicted popularity for the one or more new venues is generated based on evaluation of the venue data. The generated predicted popularity may be provided to a processing device. In some examples, a ranked list of the one or more new venues is generated. The ranked list may display the one or more venues in a ranked order according to the generated predicted popularity. Other examples are also described.

  • Patent number: 12608544
    Abstract: Methods for automatic language detection for handwritten text are performed by systems and devices. Such automatic language detection is performed prior to sending representations of the handwritten text to a language recognition engine. Handwritten inputs including one or more writing strokes are received from an input interface, and are associated with coordinates of the inputs and times that the inputs are made. The handwritten inputs are grouped into words based on the coordinates and times. Writing strokes are normalized, and then the words are individually transformed to generate language vectors, such as through a recurrent neural network. The language vectors are used to determine language probabilities for the handwritten inputs. Based on the language probabilities, the handwritten inputs are provided to a specific language recognition engine to determine the language thereof prior to translation or transcription.

  • Patent number: 12574861
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards accelerating distributed principal components in the presence of noisy channels. A federated training based method is disclosed. The method can calculate a desired common subspace for edge devices under the coordination of a server. The server can be connected to the edge devices via noisy wireless channels. A broadband communication system can be used, wherein devices can transmit local gradients by linear analog modulation over sub-channels in communication rounds for over-the-air aggregation. Before each communication round, the server can detect information of a current region. Based on the region information, an online region-adaptive power control scheme can be applied to accelerate the process.
