Abstract: A system may use sensor data from a facility to generate tentative values associated with an event, such as the identification of an item removed from a shelf of the facility. A confidence value associated with each of the tentative values may be less than a confidence threshold. In response, inquiry data seeking confirmation of a tentative value from an associate is generated and sent to one or more associates in the facility. Responses from the associates are collected to determine a selection of one of the tentative values. The selected tentative value is designated as output data for the system. Thereafter, the output data and the original sensor data are designated as training data, which can then be used to train or update machine learning systems. Subsequent use of the updated machine learning systems can yield more accurate results.

Abstract: A method of coding of video data is disclosed. According to the method, a predicted luma quantization parameter is derived and a luma quantization parameter is generated. The predicted luma quantization parameter is derived by using a tree type specifying whether a single tree or a dual tree is used to partition a coding tree. The luma quantization parameter is generated by using the predicted luma quantization parameter. The predicted luma quantization parameter is set equal to a luma quantization parameter of a coding unit containing a luma coding block covering a neighbouring location by using a current quantization group and a neighbouring block availability.
