Abstract: A computer-implemented method for decomposing videos into multiple layers that can be re-combined with modified relative timings can include obtaining video data including image frames depicting objects. For each of the frames, the method can include generating object maps descriptive of a respective location of at least one object of the objects within the image frame. For each of the frames, the image frame and the object maps can be input into a machine-learned layer renderer model. For each of the frames, the method can include receiving, as output from the model, a background layer illustrative of a background of the video data and one or more object layers associated with respective object maps. The object layers can include image data illustrative of the object and associated trace effects such that the one or more object layers and the background layer can be re-combined with modified relative timings.

Abstract: An apparatus for extended horizon scheduling that includes a time-sequence interpretation circuit, a target interpretation circuit, a horizon target analysis circuit, and a promotive action provisioning circuit. The time-sequence interpretation circuit interprets time-sequence data, the target interpretation circuit interprets target data, and the time-sequence trend analysis circuit extracts a trend from the time-sequence data. The horizon target analysis circuit: determines whether the extracted trend furthers or impedes a target defined, in part, by the target data, and responsive to a determination that the extracted trend impedes the target, generates a promotive action command value structured to trigger an adjustment to the time-sequence data. The adjustment is structured to mitigate the extracted trend from impeding the target. The promotive action provisioning circuit transmits the promotive action command value.

Abstract: Networks, methods, and apparatus to ensure schedule conformance are described. An example apparatus may include a schedule interpretation circuit to interpret schedule data, and a warden circuit to generate scores for the schedule data with respect to schedule properties. The warden circuit retrieves baseline values corresponding to schedule properties and determines whether the schedule data is out of alignment with the baseline value for any of the schedule properties. If so, a corrective action circuit generates a corrective action command value to trigger an adjustment to the schedule data to effect a change to a schedule property that is out of alignment. A corrective action provisioning circuit transmits the corrective action command value.

Abstract: A speech-processing system may provide access to one or more virtual assistants via an audio-controlled device. A multi-agent component of a device may be used to coordinate control of device process(es) regardless of the invoked agent and without necessarily sharing information between agents and corresponding speech-processing system(s). Device-state information may be sent from the multi-agent component to a speech-processing system to interpret a user command. If the command relates to a device process control it may be routed to a device skill and to the multi-agent component of the device. The multi-agent component may track a device state and may inform a particular speech-processing system if a process related to the particular speech-processing system has been controlled.
