Abstract: An image including a first object can be input to a deep neural network trained to detect objects. The deep neural network can output a first feature vector corresponding to the first object. A first distance can be measured from the first feature vector to a feature vector subspace determined using a k-means single value decomposition algorithm on an overcomplete dictionary of feature vectors. The first object can be determined to correspond to an anomaly based on the first distance.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) passively determines the presence of a cellular network bottleneck in a downlink channel and may take appropriate actions to mitigate the bottleneck. The UE may analyze the transport block size (TBS) of slots of received downlink traffic and assign states the to various slots based on this analysis. Based on these assigned states, the UE may identify a burst of network traffic from network traffic received from the cellular network, and the UE may also determine the burst duration as well as a busy estimation. The UE may determine that the cellular network is experiencing a bottleneck based at least in part on the burst duration and the busy estimation.

Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method are provided for training a dynamics model to learn the dynamics of a physical system. The dynamics model may be learned to be able to infer a future state of the physical system and/or its environment based on a current state of the physical system and/or its environment. The learned dynamics model is inherently globally stable. Instead of learning a dynamics model and attempting to separately verify its stability, the learnable dynamics model comprises a learnable Lyapunov function which is jointly learned together with the nominal dynamics of the physical system. The learned dynamics model is highly suitable for real-life applications in which a physical system may assume a state which was unseen during training as the learned dynamics model is inherently globally stable.
