Abstract: A mixed-precision quantization method for a neural network is provided. The neural network has a first precision and includes several layers and an original final output. For a particular layer, quantization of second precision on the particular layer and an input is performed. An output of the particular layer is obtained according to the particular layer of second precision and the input. De-quantization on the output of the particular layer is performed, and the de-quantized output is inputted to a next layer to obtain a final output. A value of an objective function is obtained according to the final output and the original final output. Above steps are repeated until the value of the objective function of each layer is obtained. A precision of quantization for each layer is decided according to the value of the objective function. The precision of quantization is one of first to fourth precision.

Abstract: An electronic device for browsing a document is disclosed. The document being browsed includes a plurality of command-associated text strings. First, a text string selector of the electronic device selects a plurality of candidate text strings from the command-associated text strings. Afterward, an acoustic string provider of the electronic device prepares a candidate acoustic string for each of the candidate text strings. Thereafter, a microphone of the electronic device receives a voice command. Next, a speech recognizer of the electronic device searches the candidate acoustic strings for a target acoustic string that matches the voice command, wherein the target acoustic string corresponds to a target text string of the candidate text strings. Finally, a document browser of the electronic device executes a command associated with the target text string.

Abstract: A multimedia processing apparatus includes a controller and a network module. The controller controls the multimedia processing apparatus to perform an application by setting control parameters to sub modules of the multimedia processing apparatus. The network module communicates to a social networking service server through a network. The controller is configured to generate and transmit at least one of setting information, favorite information and current viewing channel information to the social networking service server through the network module and the network. The setting information, the favorite information and current viewing channel information includes control parameters.

Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method performed by an electronic device. Under the method, the electronic device first analyzes significance-indication information of an image block of visual data to determine whether the image block encompasses a significant visual pattern. The significance-indication information includes the image block's time domain information and/or color domain information. Then, if the electronic device determines that the image block encompasses the significant visual pattern, it sifts the image block out from the visual data.

Abstract: A method of color index searching in a color picture. An estimated color index X and an estimated range Y are obtained. An index range is set according to the estimated color index X and the estimated range Y. A color dimension of color signals corresponding to the index range is altered to make the color signals responding to the color dimension alteration. It is determined whether a designated region is responsive. If the designated region is not responsive, the estimated color index X is changed to update the index range for another color dimension alteration. If the designated region is responsive, the estimated range Y is reduced to update the index range for another color dimension alteration. If the estimated range reaches an acceptable range, the color index of the designated regions is found.

Abstract: A method of implementing real-time video-audio interaction by data synchronization in an Internet game. The inventive method establishes an Internet transmission channel between Internet game clients without connecting to the Internet game sever. First, the method retrieves real-time video and audio data and compresses it into video and audio data packets. Next, the video and audio data packets are packaged into a transmission package. A time stamp is attached to the transmission package for data synchronization. The transmission package is transmitted to other game client through the Internet transmission channel. Finally, the Internet game client receives the transmission package, decompresses the received transmission package into video and audio data, and executes data synchronization according to the time stamp and output thereof.
