Patent number: 11915158Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for cross-domain action prediction are provided. Action sequence embeddings are generated based upon a textual embedding and a graph embedding utilizing past user action sequences corresponding to sequences of past actions performed by users across a plurality of domains. An autoencoder is trained to utilize the action sequence embeddings to project the action sequence embeddings to obtain intent space vectors. A service switch classifier is trained using the intent space vectors. In response to the service switch classifier predicting that a current user will switch from a current domain to a next domain, the current user is provided with a recommendation of an action corresponding to the next domain.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2023Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Yahoo Assets LLCInventors: Su-Chen Lin, Zhungxun Liao, Jian-Chih Ou, Tzu-Chiang Liou

Publication number: 20060015599Abstract: In a multi-layer video management and display method carried out on the networks, configuration parameters are set for a plurality of nodes on the networks so that these nodes can be divided into several father layers and several son layers. A root is also set for a network matrix mode. Connection between every two nodes is achieved through the network. The root registers to a registry center to get an authorized number of nodes. Each node then gets authorization from the root. A node therefore can remotely control the nodes at son layers belonging to it and get video images via the networks to accomplish easy expansion and integration and also have the advantages of providing distributed architecture and central management.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2005Publication date: January 19, 2006Inventors: Shih Li, Barney Chu, Chen Chen, Chi Cheng, Chih Liou

Publication number: 20040002299Abstract: The present invention provides a ventilation system and method that operates to remove outgassing of chemicals formed on a wafer during a wafer fabrication process to prevent contamination in a sealed wafer handling chamber. More particularly, the present invention discloses a ventilation system having a hood body having a gas supply conduit attached to a sealed outer side chamber of the ventilation hood such that contaminating particles in an interior of the hood are carried out by a purge gas flown into the hood interior through an inlet of the hood connected to the gas supply conduit into a facility vacuum exhaust system attached to an outlet of the hood. Preferably, the chamber is a load-lock chamber that operates to perform load lock processing on wafers and further operates to load and unload wafers to another location for further processing after using the ventilation system.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2002Publication date: January 1, 2004Applicant: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Mu-Tsang Lin, Yu-Chih Liou, Tu-Yi Chiu, Ji-Liang Wu, Wie-Liang Tsai
