Abstract: Systems and methods for training a translation model based on a first text sequence in a first language, a second text sequence in a second language different from the first language, and a label based on a source of the second text sequence. In some examples, the label may comprise an Internet domain, an Internet subdomain, a uniform resource locator, a website name, or an IP address. In some examples, the label may further indicate a source of the first text sequence. In some examples, each given training example may be automatically generated by sampling the first text sequence from a first page of a given Internet domain, sampling the second text sequence from a second page of the given Internet domain, and generating the label based on all or a portion of source data of the second page.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a request for generating a simulation scenario or digital media that includes one or more entities and one or more assets in an environment, the request including contextual information. The method further includes selecting three-dimensional (3D) digital twins based on the contextual information, wherein one or more of the 3D digital twins correspond to the assets, one or more of the 3D digital twins correspond to the one or more entities, and one of the 3D digital twins corresponds to the environment. The method further includes generating the simulation scenario that initializes the 3D digital twins and establishes a spatial relationship between the 3D digital twins based on the contextual information. The method further includes controlling behavior of the 3D digital twins in the simulation scenario based on the contextual information.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving audio packets associated with a first client device, where the audio packets each include an audio capture waveform, a timestamp, and a digital entity identification (ID). The method further includes determining, based on the digital entity ID, a position of a first digital entity in a metaverse. The method further includes determining a subset of other digital entities in a metaverse that are within an audio area of the first digital entity based on (a) a falloff distance between the first digital entity and each of the other digital entities and (b) a direction of audio propagation between the first digital entity and each of the other digital entities. The method further includes transmitting the audio packets to second client devices associated with the subset of other digital entities in the metaverse.

Abstract: Techniques are described to implement a probe sensor that improves data capture and data analysis. A probe sensor can be emulated in a virtual environment. A robot simulation session is initialized. The session includes a virtual environment with several objects and a set of robots. Each robot has a virtual sensor. A separate client controls each robot. Data perceived by the virtual sensor is provided to the client for controlling the robot. To capture the data the virtual sensor emits a plurality of rays, each ray transmitted in a stochastically selected direction, and performs raytracing to determine an object(s) in the virtual environment on which each ray is incident. The stochastic data capture can also be performed by a sensor in a real world scenario. Further, in some cases, the data captured by a sensor is stochastically sampled to improve the computing.

Abstract: A virtualization system implemented within a cloud server enables the simulation of robot structure and behavior in a virtual environment. The simulated robots are controlled by clients remote from the cloud server, enabling human operators or autonomous robot control programs running on the clients to control the movement and behavior of the simulated robots within the virtual environment. Data describing interactions between robots, the virtual environment, and objects can be recorded for use in future robot design. The virtualization system can include robot templates, enabling users to quickly select and customize a robot to be simulated, and further enabling users to update and re-customize the robot in real-time during the simulation. The virtualization system can re-simulate a portion of the robot simulation when an intervention by a human operator is detected, positioning robots, people, and objects within the virtual environment based on the detected intervention.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating a shadow in a graphics scene. The method includes casting a ray having a finite length associated with a point on a surface of an object in the graphics scene towards a light source; determining whether the ray intersects any other objects in the graphics scene; and generating a shadow value associated with the point on the surface of the object based on a combination of geometric scene information obtained as a result of determining whether the ray intersects any other objects in the graphics scene and an image-based shadow map value.

Abstract: A first color component of a pixel or scene entity is modified using a color correction curve defined at least partly by a second color component of this pixel or entity. Each pixel or entity has its own separate color correction curve, independent of the color correction curves of other pixels or entities. The saturation value of a pixel or scene entity may be modified based on its luminance value. The luminance value determines a saturation gamma function curve, mapping the original saturation value of a pixel or entity to a new saturation value. The unilluminated color of a pixel or of an illuminated entity in a scene being rendered may also be taken into account. This output color may be stored in the appropriate pixel of an image or combined with colors from other portions of the scene being rendered.
