  • Publication number: 20250137788
    Abstract: To determine the location of a user, a computing device determines a current location of the user and a destination location. The computing device then determines a plurality of paths for traveling from the current location to the destination location. As the user travels to the destination location, the computing device estimates a plurality of waypoints traversed by the user. The computing device compares the estimated plurality of waypoints to each of the plurality of paths to identify a path of the plurality of paths in which the user travels to the destination location. Then the computing device adjusts the estimated plurality of waypoints according to the identified path to determine precise waypoints for the user.

  • Publication number: 20250077963
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for aggregating accounts using machine learning. User interaction data can be obtained for a user and can describe interactions by the user with a given account of multiple different accounts assigned to the user on one or more computer systems. An input that includes the user interaction data is processed using a machine learning model that is configured to produce a result that includes a first account embedding that differs from the user interaction data. From at least the first account embedding, an account group is determined that corresponds to the user interaction data. A first action is performed based on the account group, wherein the first action differs from a second action that would have been performed based on a different account group that is not the account group.

  • Publication number: 20250071354
    Abstract: A method for generating a video transition sequence between a first and a second video is provided. The method first identifies and embeds starting and ending images for the video transition sequence into a latent vector space. The method then interpolates to generate an interpolation trajectory between the starting and ending image embeddings within the latent vector space. The method then reconstructs the interpolation trajectory from the latent vector space to a final video transition sequence in the original image vector space. This video transition sequence is then displayed so as to smoothly transition between two videos.
