Abstract: Networking is one of the key aspects of events, but virtual events pose a huge limitation, as attendees don't really get an opportunity to have one on one discussions with each another. The users of current video calling solutions unsuccessfully trying to extend the use of these products to casual social get together and the current video calling solutions that have no dimension of space and are not tailored to emulate the dynamics of real-life social settings. The current invention belongs broadly to natural communication flow in video call solutions, highly interactive, aiming to create as similar an experience as possible to their physical counterparts.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for dynamic, data-driven consolidation of user interface interactions requesting roadside assistance. The method includes identifying a data objective requiring user data, accessing user data, and determining whether the user data satisfies a confidence threshold. Based at least in part on the confidence threshold determination, one of a first data objective representation and a second data objective representation is displayed. A request for roadside assistance—following satisfaction of the confidence threshold—is also issued.

Abstract: An n-steps-ahead value of time-series data is estimated by a prediction model configured to output a sum of discounted m-th order differences of adjacent time steps at each time step, wherein an m-th order difference at a corresponding time step is discounted by using a discount factor such that an m-th order difference discount increases as a time step of the m-th order difference increases.

Abstract: The thriving of deep models and generative models provides approaches to model high dimensional distributions. Generative adversarial networks (GANs) can approximate data distributions and generate data samples from the learned data manifolds as well. Presented herein are embodiments to estimate the implicit likelihoods of GAN models. In one or more embodiments, a stable inverse function of the generator is learned with the help of a variance network of the generator. The local variance of the sample distribution may be approximated by the normalized distance in the latent space. Simulation studies and likelihood testing on data sets validate embodiments, which outperformed several baseline methods in these tasks. An embodiment was also applied to anomaly detection. Experiments show that the embodiments herein can achieve state-of-the-art anomaly detection performance.

Abstract: In a method and a system for improving a user's experience with a graphical user interface corresponding to a gaming or simulation environment on an electronic device, the interface renders multiple graphical objects and user selectable options corresponding to the graphical object. The user selects one or more selectable option, and performs a touching or a swiping operation through multiple points on the display screen. The touching or swiping operation leads to deploying of multiple resources corresponding to the selected option, at different locations on the interface. For controlling the different deployed resources, the user can swipe through different regions of the display screen. The number of resources deployed at the different locations on the screen depends on certain parameters, including the pressure applied by the user on the screen. Results of the simulation can be employed to control real technical systems, for example for food production.

Abstract: An optimization apparatus includes a compression unit, a storage unit, a decoding unit, and an annealing unit. The compression unit outputs compressed coefficient data in which a coefficient matrix including coupling coefficients, each of which indicates a coupling strength between bits of an Ising model obtained by converting a calculation target problem, is compressed on the basis of a symmetry property or a pattern property of the coefficient matrix. The storage unit holds the compressed coefficient data outputted by the compression unit. The decoding unit decodes the compressed coefficient data stored in the storage unit to obtain the coupling coefficients. The annealing unit performs a simulated annealing operation by using the coupling coefficients obtained by the decoding unit.

Abstract: A methodology is described that provides access to augmented reality components maintained by a messaging server system directly from a third party resource, without having to first launch an associated messaging client (either a stand-alone app or a web-based version of the app). The technical problem of invoking an augmented reality component maintained by the messaging server system directly from a third party app is addressed by permitting third party app developers to include a deep link that references the identification of a desired augmented reality component into their third party resource. The deep link invoked from a third party resource causes activation of the messaging client, loading the augmented reality component represented by the identification referenced in the deep link, and activating, from the messaging client, a camera of the computer device that is executing the third party resource.
