  • Publication number: 20250147997
    Abstract: An online system updates the labels on negative examples to account for the possibility that the example is a false negative. The system generates a set of initial training examples that each include a query input by the user and item data for an item presented as a result to the user's query. Each training example also includes an initial label, which represents whether the user interacted with the item presented as a search result. The online system updates the initial label for a negative training example by identifying a set of bridge queries and computing a similarity score between the query for the training example and the bridge queries. The online system computes an updated label for the negative example based on the similarity scores and updates the training example with the updated label.

  • Publication number: 20250150743
    Abstract: A mobile phone and a wireless earphone for sonic ranging. The mobile phone performs an acoustic response test on the wireless earphone. The mobile phone generates a first audio sequence at a first time slot. The wireless earphone recognizes the first audio sequence to generate a second audio sequence. When the mobile phone recognizes the second audio sequence, the mobile phone estimates a length of elapsed time according to the time difference between a current time slot and the first time slot. When the mobile phone obtains the length of elapsed time, a distance between the wireless earphone and the mobile phone may be determined according to a delay compensation parameter and the length of elapsed time. Various potential applications can be implemented based on the invention without the needs for additional hardware circuits in the mobile phone.

  • Publication number: 20250151424
    Abstract: This application discloses a CIS pixel readout structure. An SF and an SG adopt an asymmetric spacer structure, so that the pitch from a lower end of a source metal plug of the SG to SG gate poly can be reduced while keeping the pitch from a lower end of a drain metal plug of the SF to SF gate poly unchanged, thus reducing the pitch from a drain connecting point of the SF to a source connecting point of the SG. Since a source of the SG is not connected with working voltage and it is not influenced by leakage, not only can GIDL current be maintained, but also parasitic resistance can be reduced. Without changing its effective size, it can reduce the parasitic resistance effect while reducing the area of a combined structure of the SF and the SG.
