Abstract: A method performed by one or more computers for obtaining an optimized algorithm that (i) is functionally equivalent to a target algorithm and (ii) optimizes one or more target properties when executed on a target set of one or more hardware devices. The method includes: initializing a target tensor representing the target algorithm; generating, using a neural network having a plurality of network parameters, a tensor decomposition of the target tensor that parametrizes a candidate algorithm; generating target property values for each of the target properties when executing the candidate algorithm on the target set of hardware devices; determining a benchmarking score for the tensor decomposition based on the target property values of the candidate algorithm; generating a training example from the tensor decomposition and the benchmarking score; and storing, in a training data store, the training example for use in updating the network parameters of the neural network.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for detecting an uncovered portion of a body of a person in a frame of video content. In an example, a first machine learning model of a computing system may output a first score for the frame based on a map that identifies a region of the frame associated with an uncovered body part type. Depending on a value of the first score, a second machine learning model that includes a neural network architecture may further analyze the frame to output a second score. The first score and second score may be merged to produce a third score for the frame. A plurality of scores may be determined, respectively, for frames of the video content, and a maximum score may be selected. The video content may be selected for presentation on a display for further evaluation based on the maximum score.

Abstract: The Fast Food Frenzy board game concept is a race whereby players move along roadways (a series of plural spaces) to collect franchise items from franchise locations around the board. Franchise Items are obtained when players land on franchise spaces. The board's roadways may replicate actual cities or be fictitious. Token/vehicles represent players. Players have unique attributes subject to Information Drawing cards. Information Drawing Cards, as well as rolling dice, using a spinner, and/or directives provided in the spaces of the roadways direct player movement. The winner is the first player to return to a finishing place with a complete set of franchise items. A Players handbook provides information on how to play.

Abstract: A cryocooler system including a reversed Brayton cycle turbo-refrigerator system having a surge control valve in the bypass line between the compression section inlet and outlet. The compression section includes at least one compressor and an aftercooler which rejects the heat of compression to a heat sink. The cooling section includes at least one regenerator and a turbo-alternator for expansive cooling of the working fluid.
