  • Patent number: 11829496
    Abstract: One embodiment provides for a method for evaluation of an artificial intelligence (AI) service, the method includes partitioning, by a processor, data into in-domain data and out-of-domain data. The processor defines held-out data from both of the in-domain data and the out-of-domain data for evaluation by each of domain and sub-domain based on building a taxonomy of both domains and sub-domains for the AI service. The held-out data is excluded from training data used for training the AI service. The processor further determines distribution underlying performance metrics for the held-out data using bootstrap validation processing. The processor also determines performance guarantees for multiple settings conditioned on multiple characteristics of an application scenario for the held-out data of the taxonomy based on the underlying performance metrics.

  • Patent number: 11790045
    Abstract: Systems and methods for image tagging are described. In some embodiments, images with problematic tags are identified after applying an auto-tagger. The images with problematic tags are then sent to an object detection network. In some cases, the object detection network is trained using a training set selected to improve detection of objects associated with the problematic tags. The output of the object detection network can be merged with the output of the auto-tagger to provide a combined image tagging output. In some cases, the output of the object detection network also includes a bounding box, which can be used to crop the image around a relevant object so that the auto-tagger can be reapplied to a portion of the image.

  • Patent number: 11740075
    Abstract: A depth camera assembly (DCA) determines depth information. The DCA projects a dynamic structured light pattern into a local area and captures images including a portion of the dynamic structured light pattern. The DCA determines regions of interest in which it may be beneficial to increase or decrease an amount of texture added to the region of interest using the dynamic structured light pattern. For example, the DCA may identify the regions of interest based on contrast values calculated using a contrast algorithm, or based on the parameters received from a mapping server including a virtual model of the local area. The DCA may selectively increase or decrease an amount of texture added by the dynamic structured light pattern in portions of the local area. By selectively controlling portions of the dynamic structured light pattern, the DCA may decrease power consumption and/or increase the accuracy of depth sensing measurements.
