Abstract: To determine the head pose of a user, a head-mounted display system having an imaging device can obtain a current image of a real-world environment, with points corresponding to salient points which will be used to determine the head pose. The salient points are patch-based and include: a first salient point being projected onto the current image from a previous image, and with a second salient point included in the current image being extracted from the current image. Each salient point is subsequently matched with real-world points based on descriptor-based map information indicating locations of salient points in the real-world environment. The orientation of the imaging devices is determined based on the matching and based on the relative positions of the salient points in the view captured in the current image. The orientation may be used to extrapolate the head pose of the wearer of the head-mounted display system.

A probabilistic data structure is generated based on the second set of user group identifiers. The probabilistic data structure is transmitted. Data indicating a set of digital components including at least one digital component selected based on the probabilistic data structure is received.

Abstract: Disclosed implementations relate to adding “bottleneck” models to machine learning pipelines that already apply domain models to translate and/or transfer representations of high-level semantic concepts between domains. In various implementations, an initial representation in a first domain of a transition from an initial state of an environment to a goal state of the environment may be processed based on a pre-trained first domain encoder to generate a first embedding that semantically represents the transition. The first embedding may be processed based on one or more bottleneck models to generate a second embedding with fewer dimensions than the first embedding. In various implementations, the second embedding may be processed in various ways to train one or more of the bottleneck model(s) based on various different auxiliary loss functions.
