Publication number: 20230137541Abstract: A method of controlling a device includes receiving data from a first sensor, encoding, via parameters of an encoder, the data to obtain a latent observation (wt) for the data and an uncertainty vector (?wt) for the latent observation, processing the latent observation with a recurrent neural network to obtain a switching variable (st) which determines weights (?t) of a locally linear Kalman filter, processing the latent observation and the uncertainty vector with said locally linear Kalman filter to obtain updated mean of latent representation (?zt) and covariance of latent representation (?zt) of the Kalman filter, decoding the latent representation to obtain mean (?xt) and covariance of a reconstruction of the data (?xt) and outputting the reconstruction at a time t.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2021Publication date: May 4, 2023Inventors: Giao NGUYEN, Chen QIU, Philipp BECKER, Maja RUDOLPH, Gerhard NEUMANN

Publication number: 20160116296Abstract: Routing options are provided to a user automatically and in real-time as the user pans over an interactive map. In operation, to provide the routing options in real-time, a map server receives a selection of a focal point overlaid on an interactive map displayed to a user. The location of the focal point relative to the display of the interactive map remains static such that, as the user pans the map, the location of the focal point remains the same but the corresponding location represented by the map changes. As the panning interaction is ongoing, the map server determines the new location corresponding to the focal point and determines routing options from an origin location to the new location. The determined routing options may be displayed to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2015Publication date: April 28, 2016Inventors: Giao Nguyen, Winston W. Hsu, Narayanan Shivakumar

Patent number: 9129306Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for selecting controlling keywords. In one aspect, a method includes determining that two or more targeting keywords for a same content item source are matched by one or more terms in a content item request, where a first targeting keyword matches the one or more terms with a more specific type of match than the second targeting keyword. If the bid associated with the second targeting keyword does not exceed the bid associated with the first targeting keyword, the first targeting keyword and the second targeting keyword are ranked based on selection scores. The targeting keywords are ranked based at least in part on the quality scores when the bid associated with the second targeting keyword does exceed the bid associated with the first targeting keyword.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2014Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Roberto J. Bayardo, Jr., Uma Mahadevan, Giao Nguyen, Shivakumar Venkataraman, Adam I. Juda

Patent number: 8706546Abstract: Ads eligible to be served with a document (for example, because they are relevant to the document) may each be scored using a price parameter associated with the ad and an indication of relevancy of the ad to the document. The indication of relevancy of the ad to the document may be based on an ordinal ranking of a relevancy criteria of the document used to select the ad, and/or a value of a relevancy criteria of the document used to select the ad. The eligible ads may be determined by obtaining relevancy criteria for the document and selecting ads using at least some of the obtained relevancy criteria. The ads may be selected, and perhaps filtered, in a distributed manner.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2005Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Darrell Anderson, Alexander Paul Carobus, Giao Nguyen, Narayanan Shivakumar

Patent number: 8357636Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a process for preparing the alkoxylated alkylamines and/or alkyl ether amines. The process consists of three stages, and utilizes an alkali catalyst. The alkoxylated alkyl amines and alkoxylated alkyl ether amines prepared by the process possess the peaked distribution and contain less hazardous by-product.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2011Date of Patent: January 22, 2013Assignee: Akzo Nobel N.V.Inventors: Shawn Zhu, Giao Nguyen, Kha Nguyen, Alberto Slikta, David Eaton, David Becher, Henry Agbaje, Michael Seitz

Publication number: 20120259695Abstract: In response to a query for information in a geographic region or at a location, ranked ads may be plotted on, or in association with, a map (e.g., as a list beside the map), satellite photo, or any other form of visual representation of geographic information (referred to generally as “maps”). Sponsored ads might be shown in a dedicated place and/or might be elevated above other non-sponsored search results (e.g., Yellow Page listings). The number of ads shown in the list and/or plotted on the map could vary as a function of the resolution of the map or geographic image. The ads could be ranked or scored, and attributes or features of various ads may be a function of such a score or ranking. The plots on the map might be selectable to provide a pop-up with further information and possibly sponsored information (such as images, further ads, etc).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2012Publication date: October 11, 2012Applicant: GOOGLE INC.Inventors: Steve Glassman, Joshy Joseph, Bill Kilday, Giao Nguyen, Dominic Preuss, Sridhar Ramaswamy

Publication number: 20060218274Abstract: A method and system for intelligently directing a search of a peer-to-peer network, in which a user performing a search is assisted in choosing a host which is likely to return fast, favorable results to the user. A host monitor monitors the peer-to-peer network and collects data on various characteristics of the hosts which make up the network. Thereafter, a host selector ranks the hosts using the data, and passes this information to the user. The user then selects one or more of the highly-ranked hosts as an entry point into the network. Additionally, a cache may collect a list of hosts based on the content on the hosts. In this way, a user may choose to connect to a host which is known to contain information relevant to the user's search. The host selector may be used to select from among the hosts listed in the cache.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2006Publication date: September 28, 2006Applicant: NAPSTER, INC.Inventors: Wilburt Labio, Giao Nguyen, Winston Liu, Gurmeet Manku
