Abstract: This document describes systems and techniques for encoding a video frame using different compression ratios or compression algorithms for text blocks and non-text blocks. The described systems and techniques can determine, using a machine-learned model, which blocks of a frame include and do not include text. The described systems and techniques can then use a different compression ratio or compression algorithm for text blocks than the compression ratio or compression algorithm used for non-text blocks. For example, the systems and techniques can encode the text blocks using a first compression ratio that results in higher video quality than a second compression ratio used on at least some non-text blocks. In this way, the described systems and techniques can improve text legibility in a video file without significantly increasing the bandwidth requirements to transmit the video file to remote computing devices.

Abstract: Systems and methods for producing a neural network architecture with improved energy consumption and performance tradeoffs are disclosed, such as would be deployed for use on mobile or other resource-constrained devices. In particular, the present disclosure provides systems and methods for searching a network search space for joint optimization of a size of a layer of a reference neural network model (e.g., the number of filters in a convolutional layer or the number of output units in a dense layer) and of the quantization of values within the layer. By defining the search space to correspond to the architecture of a reference neural network model, examples of the disclosed network architecture search can optimize models of arbitrary complexity. The resulting neural network models are able to be run using relatively fewer computing resources (e.g., less processing power, less memory usage, less power consumption, etc.), all while remaining competitive with or even exceeding the performance (e.g.

Abstract: Implementations of the subject matter described herein provide a keyboard and an electronic device. The keyboard comprises a touch-sensitive region configured to send an indication of a position of a touch to the electronic device. The electronic device may display a menu including a plurality of configurable menu items. A shape of the menu matches a shape of the touch-sensitive region, and the menu item corresponding to the touch position may be highlighted, such that the user may acknowledge the touch position without looking at the keyboard. In this case, input efficiency may be improved in case of selecting menu items, since the user does not need to divert its sight from the display to the keyboard or the pointing device.
