  • Publication number: 20240069717
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for training and using a sentiment machine learning module to determine a sentiment score. Haptic metric values are collected from haptic interfaces embedded in input devices users control to generate content. A training set associates a haptic metric value resulting from a user interacting with an input device to generate content and a sentiment score for the content. A sentiment machine learning module is trained to output the sentiment score in a training set from input comprising the haptic metric value. A haptic metric value received from an input device, used by an active user interacting with the interactive program, is inputted to the sentiment machine learning module to output a haptic sentiment score for the haptic metric value. The haptic sentiment score is provided to an interactive program to control the interactive program communications with the active user.

  • Publication number: 20240022759
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of decoding video data in multiple resolution formats includes receiving an encoded video stream including a salient data and a non-salient data, the salient data having a higher resolution format than the non-salient data. The video stream is decoded into the non-salient data in a lower-resolution format and the salient data in the higher-resolution format. The non-salient data is reconstructed to a higher resolution format. The salient data and the reconstructed non-salient data are combined to form a video stream in the higher-resolution format of the salient data.

  • Publication number: 20230138343
    Abstract: A first version of a model specified by a model execution request is executed, producing a first execution result. A second version of the model is selected according to an input data attribute specified by the model execution request. The second version of the model is executed, producing a first execution result. Using a natural language processing engine, responsive to the first execution result and the second execution result differing by more than a threshold amount, a natural language explanation of a difference between the first execution result and the second execution result is constructed.

  • Publication number: 20220101185
    Abstract: A machine learning model can be updated based on collected data (i.e., initially unlabeled data). The unlabeled data can be labeled based on comparisons to labeled data. The newly labeled data, referred to as “weak labeled data” (as it was labeled without direct input of a professional) can then be used as training data in order to retrain the machine learning model.

  • Publication number: 20220101184
    Abstract: A machine learning model can be optimized for deployment on a device based on hardware specifications of the device. An existing model is acquired and pruned to reduce hardware resource consumption of the model. The pruned model is then trained based on training data. The pruned model is also trained based on a collection of “teacher” models. Performance of the trained model is then evaluated and compared to performance requirements, which can be based on the hardware specifications of a device.

  • Patent number: 11219405
    Abstract: One or both of epilepsy seizure detection and prediction at least by performing the following: running multiple input signals from sensors for epilepsy seizure detection through multiple classification models, and applying weights to outputs of each of the classification models to create a final classification output. The weights are adjusted to tune relative output contribution from each classifier model in order that accuracy of the final classification output is improved, while power consumption of all the classification models is reduced. One or both of epilepsy seizure detection and prediction are performed with the adjusted weights. Another method uses streams from sensors for epilepsy seizure detection to train and create the classification models, with fixed weights once trained. Information defining the classification models with fixed weights is communicated to wearable computer platforms for epilepsy seizure detection and prediction.
