  • Patent number: 10346467
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and products help users recall memories and search for content of those memories. When a user cannot recall a memory, the user is prompted with questions to help recall the memory. As the user answers the questions, a virtual recollection of the memory is synthesized from the answers to the questions. When the user is satisfied with the virtual recollection of the memory, a database of content may be searched for the virtual recollection of the memory. Video data, for example, may be retrieved that matches the virtual recollection of the memory. The video data is thus historical data documenting past events.

  • Publication number: 20190155284
    Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, and devices are disclosed for improving an object model based upon measurements of physical properties of an object via an unmanned vehicle using adversarial examples. For example, a method may include a processing system capturing measurements of physical properties of an object via at least one unmanned vehicle, updating an object model for the object to include the measurements of the physical properties of the object, where the object model is associated with a feature space, and generating an example from the feature space, where the example comprises an adversarial example. The processing system may further apply the object model to the example to generate a prediction, capture additional measurements of the physical properties of the object via the at least one unmanned vehicle when the prediction fails to identify that the example is an adversarial example, and update the object model to include the additional measurements.

  • Publication number: 20180367855
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a system and method for selecting media content for a group of persons located at a venue. The system and method identify a plurality of viewers in a vicinity of a venue that has one or more display devices from location data and extracts a content viewing preference of each viewer from their profile data. The process includes aggregating the content viewing preference of each of the plurality of viewers to generate an aggregated content profile. Based on the aggregated content profile, a list of content is generated. Next, a first group of viewers approaching a viewing range of a display device are sensed by imaging data. Any conflicts between content viewing preferences of the first group of viewers are detected and resolved based on weighting the viewing preferences of the group. Other embodiments are disclosed.
