  • Publication number: 20250086466
    Abstract: A compact generative neural network can be distilled from a teacher generative neural network using a training network. The compact network can be trained on the input data and output data of the teacher network. The training network train the student network using a discrimination layer and one or more types of losses, such as perception loss and adversarial loss.

  • Publication number: 20250044912
    Abstract: Systems and methods for object-based content recommendation are described. A camera feed comprising a plurality of image frames is caused to be displayed at a client device. An object is detected within an image frame from the camera feed, the object corresponding with an object category. Responsive to detecting the object, an icon associated with the object category is selected and displayed at a position upon the camera feed. The icon corresponds with a media collection related to the object category. An input is received selecting the icon. Responsive to the input, a presentation of media items from the media collection is displayed at the client device. By detecting real-world objects and surfacing relevant virtual icons that link to associated media, an augmented reality experience is provided allowing virtual content to be overlaid and anchored to objects in reality.

  • Patent number: 8176046
    Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying trends in web feeds collected from various content servers are disclosed. One embodiment includes, selecting a candidate phrase indicative of potential trends in the web feeds, assigning the candidate phrase to trend analysis agents, analyzing the candidate phrase, by each of the one or more trend analysis agents, respectively using the configured type of trending parameter, and/or determining, by each of the trend analysis agents, whether the candidate phrase meets an associated threshold to qualify as a potential trended phrase.

  • Patent number: 7852864
    Abstract: A method for detecting and directing traffic in a network environment is provided that includes receiving a packet included within a communication flow that is initiated by a mobile terminal and setting a flag within the packet. The method further includes directing the packet to a next destination by recognizing that the flag included within the packet was set and therefore is associated with a mobile-to-mobile communication session.

  • Publication number: 20050220891
    Abstract: A multi-layered microcapsule has an inner extracellular matrix and an outer shell. The inner extracellular matrix includes a first inner layer of biopolymer and a second intermediate layer of polymer that provides partial immune-protection and holds the first layer in place. The outer shell can form an exoskeleton to provide mechanical stability. Each of the individual layers can be varied to optimize mechanical stability, cell function, and immuno-protection.

  • Patent number: 5978489
    Abstract: A multi-actuator system for active sound and vibration cancellation utilizes an LMS type algorithm having an adaptive filter. However, the error signal rather than the input is filtered through an adjoint filter of the error channel to drive an adaptive filter which in turn drives, for example, a loudspeaker to provide destructive interference for noise cancellation. The adjoint filter is realized by converting a standard filter's flow direction, such as a finite impulse response filter, swapping branching points with summing junctions and unit delays with unit advances. For multiple-input-output systems, computational complexity is significantly reduced.
