  • Publication number: 20260170323
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for quantizing a visual input to generate a visual output. In one aspect, a method comprises receiving a visual input, processing the visual input using an encoder neural network to generate multiple feature vectors, generating a quantized representation that identifies a respective visual token from a vocabulary of visual tokens for each feature vector by mapping each dimension of the feature vector to a corresponding integer value from a set of integer values, and generating data identifying the visual token based on the integer values. In another aspect, the system receives and processes a conditioning input using a visual token generation neural network to generate a sequence of visual tokens each including an integer value for each of multiple dimensions, and processing the sequence of visual tokens using a decoder neural network to generate a visual output.

  • Publication number: 20250363171
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating an output temporal sequence of data elements conditioned on an input. In one aspect, a method comprises: obtaining the input, wherein the input comprises a noise input comprising a respective latent representation for each of a plurality of segments of the temporal sequence; updating, for each segment, the latent representation for the segment using a latent denoising neural network, the updating comprising, for each segment other than the first segment: obtaining a memory vector representing one or more hidden states generated by the latent denoising neural network when updating the latent representations for one or more preceding segments; updating the latent representation for the segment at each of a plurality of iterations; and generating the output temporal sequence of data elements by processing the latent representations for the plurality of segments.

  • Publication number: 20250274902
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system includes an interface and a communicatively coupled processor. The interface is configured to receive first future location information of a first user and receive second future location information of a second user. The processor is configured to determine that the first and second future location information each correspond to a future location and determine that a characteristic related to the first user corresponds to a preference related to the second user. In response to these determinations, the processor is configured to cause information to be presented to the second user, the information to be presented to the second user comprising the future location and that the first user and the second user have the future location in common.

  • Patent number: 11756068
    Abstract: Systems and methods deliver advertisements to electronic billboards, additionally deliver social media content relevant to the advertisements, control content of the electronic billboards, including through social media interactions, and deliver interactive applications to the electronic billboards and control the interactive applications. An advertisement is delivered to an electronic billboard for display, and social media content relevant to the advertisement is also delivered to the electronic billboard for display in real time. The social media content is used to update the display of the electronic billboard in temporal proximity to a time of posting of social media content. Content and applications are received at the electronic billboard by push, and may be removed from storage of electronic billboard after display to make storage room available for additional interactive applications and to ensure that updated content is always displayed.

  • Patent number: 11688077
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for implementing a machine-learned object tracking policy. One of the methods includes receiving a current video frame by a user device having a plurality of installed object trackers, wherein each object tracker is configured to perform a different object tracking procedure on the current video frame rent video frame. The current video frame and one or more object tracks previously generated by the one or more object trackers are provided as input to a trained policy engine that implements a reinforcement learning model to generate a particular object tracking plan. A particular object tracking plan is selected based on the output of the reinforcement learning model, and the selected object tracking plan is performed on the current video frame to generate one or more updated object tracks for the current video frame.

  • Patent number: 11465751
    Abstract: Disclosed is an armrest assembly for a vehicle seat such as a pilot seat positioned in an aircraft cockpit. The armrest assembly generally includes a pivoting armrest and an arm pad repositionable relative to the armrest to change the arm pad width. The arm pad includes two functional sides each having a different width dimension. The arm pad is coupled to the armrest such that sequential translational and rotational motion of the arm pad moves one of the first and second sides into a use position atop the armrest and the other of the first and second sides into an out of use position alongside the armrest. The armrest assembly according to the present disclosure is ideal for use in tight quarters within the flight deck, among other installation environments requiring a functional armrest.
