  • Patent number: 11966340
    Abstract: To automate time series forecasting machine learning pipeline generation, a data allocation size of time series data may be determined based on one or more characteristics of a time series data set. The time series data may be allocated for use by candidate machine learning pipelines based on the data allocation size. Features for the time series data may be determined and cached by the candidate machine learning pipelines. Predictions of each of the candidate machine learning pipelines using at least the one or more features may be evaluated. A ranked list of machine learning pipelines may be automatically generated from the candidate machine learning pipelines for time series forecasting based upon evaluating predictions of each of the one or more candidate machine learning pipelines.

  • Publication number: 20240111950
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for fine-grained referring expression comprehension is provided. The computer-implemented method includes receiving, at a processor, a textual expression and an image as inputs and executing, at the processor, fine-grained referring expression comprehension. The executing includes decomposing the textual expression into different textual modules, extracting visual regional proposals from the image, using language-guided graph neural networks to mine fine-grained object relations from the visual regional proposals and aggregating different matching similarities between the different textual modules and the fine-grained object relations.

  • Patent number: 11861469
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention may include a method, computer program product, and system for creating a data analysis tool. The method may include a computing device that generates an AI pipeline based on an input dataset, wherein the AI pipeline is generated using an Automated Machine Learning program. The method may include converting the AI pipeline to a non-native format of the Automated Machine Learning program. This may enable the AI pipeline to be used outside of the Automated Machine Learning program, thereby increasing the usefulness of the created program by not tying it to the Automated Machine Learning program. Additionally, this may increase the efficiency of running the AI pipeline by eliminating unnecessary computations performed by the Automated Machine Learning program.

  • Patent number: 11854305
    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.

  • Publication number: 20230368529
    Abstract: One or more computer processors improve action recognition by removing inference introduced by visual appearances of objects within a received video segment. The one or more computer processors extract appearance information and structure information from a received video segment. The one or more computer processors calculate a factual inference (TE) for the received video segment utilizing the extracted appearance information and structure information. The one or more computer processors calculate a counterfactual debiasing inference (NDE) for the received video segment. The one or more computer processors calculate a total indirect effect (TIE) by subtracting the calculated counterfactual debiased inference from the calculated factual inference. The one or more computer processors action recognize the received video segment by selecting a classification result associated with a highest calculated TIE.

  • Patent number: 11816889
    Abstract: Unsupervised learning for video classification. One or more features from one or more video clips are extracted using a spatial-temporal encoder. The one or more extracted features are processed, using a video instance discrimination task, to generate a classification label, the classification label indicating whether two of the video clips are from a same video. The one or more extracted features are processed, using a pair-wise speed discrimination task, to generate a comparison label, the comparison label indicating a relative playback speed between two given video clips. A search is performed in a video database for a video that is similar to a given video based on the comparison label.
