Abstract: Using a simple cue to reduce a number of sequential frames included in a video that needs to be analyzed by an artificial neural network to predict information corresponding to a projectile depicted within the video is provided. A timing of the simple cue associated with the video is detected. The number of sequential frames within the video is reduced down to only those frames that are within a specified range of the simple cue. The artificial neural network is used to analyze the reduced number of sequential frames. The information corresponding to the projectile is predicted based on analyzing the reduced number of sequential frames using the artificial neural network.

Abstract: Computer-implemented method includes developing, via a processor, a words model from a plurality of natural language text based articles relating to a subject and generating, via the processor, a static vector based upon the words model. The computer-implemented method further includes developing, via the processor, an actual articles model from actual articles, generating, via the processor, a bootstrapped vector using the actual articles model, generating, via the processor, a n-dimensional depth item using the static vector and the bootstrapped vector, and determining, via the processor, evidence based on the n-dimensional depth item. The computer-implemented method still further includes presenting, via the processor and a display, the evidence base upon an input query from a user.

The method computer program products, and systems can include, for instance: running a comment examining process for processing comments of one or more user to provide a comment processing output; applying data of a dataset as training data for training a neural network to define a trained neural network, wherein the training data includes input node training data and output node training data; and generating a decision rule for the dataset based on a transfer function of the trained neural network, wherein the decision rule is based on the comment processing output.

Abstract: A set of vectors may be obtained. The vectors may be multi-dimensional vectors that are associated with and describe tokens from a first set of tokens from a corpus of sources. The description may be based in part on the relationship of the token to at least a portion of the remainder of the corpus. A set of sentiment scores may be obtained. The sentiment scores in the set of sentiment scores may describe a sentiment associated with a corresponding token that is described by a vector from the set of vectors. The set of vectors and the set of sentiment scores may be input into a pattern-recognizer pathway in a first neural network. A probability value of a potential future event may then be generated by the first neural network. The probability value may be based on the set of vectors and the set of sentiment scores.

Abstract: Machine logic that uses weather data and play style of players to predict outcomes of sporting contests. These predicted outcomes can be used for various purposes such as sporting contest scheduling, or controlling of play conditions. Also, machine logic to agglomerate data from various players together to increase data purity and/or learn from observed data (for example, learn from outcomes of training matches).

Abstract: A helically scanned optical tape recording and replay system has a rotating drum with a galvanometer mirror for controlling the tracking of a number of write and read light beams during recording and replay. Dynamic focussing of the beams on the recording medium is controlled by means of a voice-coil actuator operating on a lens situated outside the drum. An optical rotator is provided through which the write and read beams pass following beam combinations, the optical rotator being driven by a motor to rotate at half the rotational velocity of the drum, and thereby present an image to the optical tape which rotates synchronously with the drum.
