Abstract: The present subject matter provides a method for de-noising an audio visual speech. The method includes modeling a noise in the audio visual speech using a noisy speech from audio data associated with the audio visual speech to generate a reconstructed noise signal. The method includes estimating the reconstructed noise signal in the audio visual speech using an audio signal and a plurality of visual frames. The method includes partitioning the reconstructed noise signal into a plurality of windows and calculate an energy associated with each window. The method includes estimating a noise strength in each window by performing a soft max operation to obtain one or more refined audio features. The method includes fusing the one or more refined audio features and one or more visual features using the noise strength to generate an output that is passed through a decoder to obtain a de-noised audio visual speech.

Abstract: Our Names in physical and real world have transformed into ‘username’s in virtual digital world. Anything that we need to access in digital world asks us for a ‘username’, which can be user selected (like an e-mail address) or provided to a user (like an employee ID/Number). This ‘username’ has indeed become a SuperName, giving access to restricted areas, based on privileges, links to other services as well. So, to a cybercriminal, if a ‘username; is known, more than half the job is done. And once corresponding password is cracked, the whole digital identity lies threadbare. Damages done through transactions of such unauthorized access may get quantified, but dent to privacy is far more damaging.

Abstract: A low-dropout (LDO) regulator circuit with dynamic transitioning between first and second operation modes. The LDO regulator circuit includes an operational amplifier with a first input connected to a reference voltage, a feedback circuit connected between a second input of the operational amplifier and an output of the LDO regulator circuit, and a pass transistor selectively coupled to the feedback circuit and an output of the operational amplifier via a set switches controlled by a switch mode enable signal. The LDO regulator circuit transitions between the first and second operation modes responsive to one or more changes of the switch mode enable signal. In the first operation mode, a load voltage at the output of the LDO regulator circuit has a first voltage value that depends on the reference voltage. In the second operation mode, the load voltage has a second voltage value independent from the reference voltage.

Abstract: For a seamless and robust artificial intelligence-based assistant experience, an intent-based query and response router has been designed to operate as an intelligent layer between a user and multiple backend services that may respond to one or more queries over the course of a conversation with the user. The query router interacts with an intent classification service to obtain an intent classification for a prompt that is based on a user query. The query router uses the intent classification, which is used as an identifier of a backend service, to route the user query to an appropriate one (or more) of the backend services. When a response is detected, the query router determines a corresponding conversation and provides the response for the conversation.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a model for deep learning based image feature extraction considering a range of useful negative features. Conventional methods are either considering only positive features or considering all negative features along with positive features which leads to bias in feature extraction. The present disclosure overcomes the problem of the conventional methods using a bounded Rectified Linear activation Unit (B-ReLU) activation function based Bounded-Rectifier Network (B-RectNet). Initially, the present disclosure receives an image pertaining to an object. Further, the received image is preprocessed to remove a plurality of anomalies associated with the image a preprocessing technique. Further, a plurality of image features are extracted based on the preprocessed image using a trained B-RectNet.
