Abstract: This disclosure describes one or more embodiments of systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods that utilize channel pruning and knowledge distillation to generate a compact noise-to-image GAN. For example, the disclosed systems prune less informative channels via outgoing channel weights of the GAN. In some implementations, the disclosed systems further utilize content-aware pruning by utilizing a differentiable loss between an image generated by the GAN and a modified version of the image to identify sensitive channels within the GAN during channel pruning. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems utilize knowledge distillation to learn parameters for the pruned GAN to mimic a full-size GAN.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to surgical instruments for alignment of bone cuts during surgeries on joints and in particular, during total replacement of joints. The surgical instrument comprises a contact surface shaped to fit a prepared end of the first bone of the joint and an artificial articular surface that imitates the native articular surface of the first bone that has been removed by the preparation of the first bone. The artificial articular surface is pivotable in relation to the surgical instrument. The instrument can be fitted onto the prepared bone and coronal balancing can be performed. After fixing a further instrument to the second bone the joint can be balanced in flexion. At the optimal flexion angle, the slope and the cutting depth can be adjusted to achieve alignment. The further instrument is then used as a guide for cutting the second bone at the resulting cutting depth, slope and varus/valgus angle.

Abstract: Techniques for coding and deriving (e.g., determining) one or more coded-block-flags associated with video content are described herein. A coded-block-flag of a last node may be determined when coded-block-flags of preceding nodes are determined to be a particular value and when a predetermined condition is satisfied. In some instances, the predetermined condition may be satisfied when log2(size of current transform unit) is less than log2(size of maximum transform unit) or log2(size of current coding unit) is less than or equal to log2(size of maximum transform unit)+1. The preceding nodes may be nodes that precede the last node on a particular level in a residual tree.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a graphics processing system that includes one or more integrated graphics systems and one or more discrete graphics systems. In some examples, an operating system (OS) or other software supports switching between image display data being provided from either an integrated graphics system or a discrete graphics system by configuring a multiplexer at runtime to output image data to a display.
