Abstract: Remote distribution of multiple neural network models to various client devices over a network can be implemented by identifying a native neural network and remotely converting the native neural network to a target neural network based on a given client device operating environment. The native neural network can be configured for execution using efficient parameters, and the target neural network can use less efficient but more precise parameters.

Abstract: One embodiment described herein provides a system and method for path control in a network. During operation, in response to determining that a path-control condition is met, an end host in the network can determine an offset value to be applied to a packet header of a packet, modify the packet header by applying the determined offset value, and forward the packet based on the modified packet header.

Abstract: A mobile device can generate real-time complex visual image effects using asynchronous processing pipeline. A first pipeline applies a complex image process, such as a neural network, to keyframes of a live image sequence. A second pipeline generates flow maps that describe feature transformations in the image sequence. The flow maps can be used to process non-keyframes on the fly. The processed keyframes and non-keyframes can be used to display a complex visual effect on the mobile device in real-time or near real-time.
