  • Publication number: 20230334322
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed for using machine learning models with private and public domains. Operations can be applied to transform input to a machine learning model in a private domain that is kept secret or otherwise made unavailable to third parties. In one example of the disclosed technology, a method includes applying a private transform to produce transformed input, providing the transformed input to a machine learning model that was trained using a training set modified by the private transform, and generating inferences with the machine learning model using the transformed input. Examples of suitable transforms that can be employed include matrix multiplication, time or spatial domain to frequency domains, and partitioning a neural network model such that an input and at least one hidden layer form part of the private domain, while the remaining layers form part of the public domain.

  • Publication number: 20230319292
    Abstract: Implementations of the subject matter described herein provide a solution for rate control based on reinforcement learning. In this solution, an encoding state of a video encoder is determined, the encoding state being associated with encoding of a first video unit by the video encoder. An encoding parameter associated with rate control in the video encoder is determined by a reinforcement learning model and based on the encoding state of the video encoder. A second video unit different from the first video unit is encoded based on the encoding parameter. In this way, it is possible to achieve a better quality of experience (QOE) for real time communication with computation overhead being reduced.

  • Publication number: 20230209066
    Abstract: Techniques are described for efficiently encoding video data by skipping evaluation of certain encoding modes based on various evaluation criteria. In some solutions, intra-block evaluation is performed in a specific order during encoding, and depending on encoding cost calculations of potential intra-block encoding modes, evaluation of some of the potential modes can be skipped. In some solutions, some encoding modes can be skipped depending on whether blocks are simple (e.g., simple vertical, simple horizontal, or both) or non-simple. In some solutions, various criteria are applied to determine whether chroma-from-luma mode evaluation can be skipped. The various solutions can be used independently and/or in combination.
