  • Patent number: 11663823
    Abstract: Dual-modality relation networks for audio-visual event localization can be provided. A video feed for audio-visual event localization can be received. Based on a combination of extracted audio features and video features of the video feed, informative features and regions in the video feed can be determined by running a first neural network. Based on the informative features and regions in the video feed determined by the first neural network, relation-aware video features can be determined by running a second neural network. Based on the informative features and regions in the video feed, relation-aware audio features can be determined by running a third neural network. A dual-modality representation can be obtained based on the relation-aware video features and the relation-aware audio features by running a fourth neural network. The dual-modality representation can be input to a classifier to identity an audio-visual event in the video feed.

  • Patent number: 11645514
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes using an embedding network to generate prototypical vectors. Each prototypical vector is based on a corresponding label associated with a first domain. The computer-implemented method also includes using the embedding network to generate an in-domain test vector based on at least one data sample from a particular label associated with the first domain and using the embedding network to generate an out-of-domain test vector based on at least one other data sample associated with a different domain. The computer-implemented method also includes comparing the prototypical vectors to the in-domain test vector to generate in-domain comparison values and comparing the prototypical vectors to the out-of-domain test vector to generate out-of-domain comparison values. The computer-implemented method also includes modifying, based on the in-domain comparison values and the out-of-domain comparison values, one or more parameters of the embedding network.

    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a system, program product, and method for leveraging cognitive systems to facilitate the automated data table discovery for automated machine learning, and, more specifically, to leveraging a trained cognitive system to automatically search for additional data in an external data source that may be merged with an initial user-selected data table to generate a more robust machine learning model. Manual efforts to find and validate data appropriate for building and training a particular model for a particular task are significantly reduced. Specifically, a learning-based approach to leverage with machine learning models to automatically discover related datasets and join the datasets for a given initial dataset is disclosed herein.

A video parser parses an input video data sequence to generate situation data structure(s), each situation data structure comprising data elements corresponding to entities, and first relationships between entities, identified by the video parser as present in images of the input video data sequence. First machine learning computer model(s) operate on the situation data structure(s) to predict second relationship(s) between the situation data structure(s). Second machine learning computer model(s) execute on a received input question to predict an executable program to execute to answer the received question. The program is executed on the situation data structure(s) and predicted second relationship(s). An answer to the question is output based on results of executing the program.

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.
