Abstract: A bi-directional spatial-temporal transformer neural network (BDSTT) is trained to predict original coordinates of a skeletal joint in a specific frame through relative relationships of the skeletal joint to other joints and to the state of the skeletal joint in other frames. Obtain a plurality of frames comprising coordinates of the skeletal joint and coordinates of other joints. Produce a spatially masked frame by masking the original coordinates of the skeletal joint. Provide the specific frame, the spatially masked frame, and at least one more frame to a coordinate prediction head of the BDSTT. Obtain, from the coordinate prediction head, a prediction of coordinates for the skeletal joint. Adjust parameters of the BDSTT until a mean-squared error, between the prediction of coordinates for the skeletal joint and the original coordinates of the skeletal joint, converges.

Abstract: A method for extracting a kansei adjective of a product based on principal component analysis and explanation (PCA-E) includes constructing a product kansei evaluation vector matrix through original kansei adjectives; performing dimensionality reduction through PCA; and determining, based on principal component load factors, kansei adjectives representing principal components.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for suppressing noise from audio signal uses both statistical noise estimation and neural network noise estimation to achieve more desirable noise reduction. The method is performed by a noise suppression computer software application running on an electronic device. The noise suppression computer software application first transforms the speech signal in time domain into frequency domain before determining a statistical noise estimate and a neural network noise estimate. The noise suppression computer software application merges the two noise estimates to derive a final noise estimate, and determines and refines a noise suppression filter. The filter is applied to the speech signal in frequency domain to obtain an enhanced signal. The enhanced signal is transformed back into time domain.
