  • Patent number: 12124691
    Abstract: An electronic device displays a compass user interface with a direction indicator and a bearing indicator. The direction indicator provides an indication of a respective compass direction, wherein the appearance of the direction indicator is determined based on the orientation of the electronic device relative to the respective compass direction. The bearing indicator provides an indication of an offset from the respective compass direction. While displaying the bearing indicator, the electronic device detects rotation of the rotatable input mechanism and, in response, changes the displayed position of the bearing indicator from a first position to a second position by an amount that is determined in accordance with a magnitude of the rotation of the rotatable input mechanism.

  • Patent number: 12099908
    Abstract: Techniques for adapting previously-annotated training examples into updated training examples for training a machine learning model are disclosed. One example includes a computer program that recognizes a find expression, a replacement expression, and a filtering constraint in which the filtering constraint distinguishes a subset of previously-annotated training examples from others of the previously-annotated training examples. An instance of the find expression is identified by the computer program within the subset of the previously-annotated training examples that were identified among the previously-annotated training examples based on the filtering constraint. The instance of the find expression identified within the subset of the previously-annotated training examples is replaced by the computer program with an instance of the replacement expression to obtain an updated subset of training examples.
