Abstract: The systems and methods disclosed herein provide determination of an orientation of a feature towards a reference target. As a non-limiting example, a system consistent with the present disclosure may include a processor, a memory, and a single camera affixed to the ceiling of a room occupied by a person. The system may analyze images from the camera to identify any objects in the room and their locations. Once the system has identified an object and its location, the system may prompt the person to look directly at the object. The camera may then record an image of the user looking at the object. The processor may analyze the image to determine the location of the user's head and, combined with the known location of the object and the known location of the camera, determine the direction that the user is facing. This direction may be treated as a reference value, or “ground truth.” The captured image may be associated with the direction, and the combination may be used as training input into an application.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a method comprising, at a runtime library executed by a processor of a data processing system, receiving an input frame having objects to be stylized via a style transfer network associated with the runtime library, wherein the style transfer network is a neural network model trained to apply one or more visual styles to an input frame, performing instance segmentation on the input frame to generate one or more instance masks to identify one or more objects to be stylized, generating one or more stylized frames for each style to transfer to the input frame, and merging, via the one or more instance masks, stylized objects from one or more stylized frames with un-stylized content from the input frame to generate an output frame with per-instance stylization.

Abstract: Language education systems capable of integrating with a user's daily life and automatically producing educational prompts would be particularly advantageous. An example method includes determining a user's identity, detecting a language education subject, prompting the user with a language education message, receiving a user's response, and updating a user profile associated with the user based on the user's response. Methods may also include determining user state (including emotional, physical, social, etc.) and determining, based on the user state, whether to prompt the user with the language education prompt.
