The method includes: capturing speech input; parsing the speech input into phenomes; aligning the phonemes to the corresponding portions of the speech input; mapping the phonemes to visemes; synchronizing the visemes into viseme action units, the viseme action units comprising jaw and lip contributions for each of the phonemes; and outputting the viseme action units.

Abstract: There is provided a system and method for color representation generation. In an aspect, the method includes: receiving three base colors; receiving a patchwork parameter; and generating a color representation having each of the three base colors at a vertex of a triangular face, the triangular face having a color distribution therein, the color distribution discretized into discrete portions, the amount of discretization based on the patchwork parameter, each discrete portion having an interpolated color determined to be a combination of the base colors at respective coordinates of such discrete portion. In further aspects, one or more color representations are generated based on an input image and can be used to modify colors of a reconstructed image.

Abstract: Monitoring backend batch processes/agents to identify currently enabled batch processes that running/executing on schedule and those that are not running/executing on schedule. In the event that currently enabled backend batch processes are identified as delayed, a delay time is determined. Such determinations are made on a regular interval, (e.g., hourly or the like), such that, reports is generated and communicated and/or a batch process status portal is updated on the regular interval to reflect the current delayed status of batch process or, in some embodiments, the current status of all of the backend batch processes currently enabled within an enterprise. Identification of backend batch processes that are currently being delayed and the associated delay time provides a basis for determining the cause(s) for the delay and possible corrective action(s), which may be implemented in conjunction with the determinations.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a computer-implemented system and method for generation of an interactive color workspace, the method including: generating a workspace; receiving successive inputs from a user to create two or more controllable color swatches, the controllable color swatches including an associated color; generating the controllable color swatches on the workspace; and upon receiving a command from a user to select and associate at least two of the controllable color swatches, generating a gradient of colors with the colors of the selected controllable color swatches as endpoints to the gradient.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for identification and presentation of changelogs relevant to a tenant of a multi-tenant cloud service. Change feature extraction is performed on changelogs associated with a tenant of the multi-tenant cloud service to identify features associated with the changelogs. Machine learning based classification can then be performed on the changelogs to classify the changelogs. Misclassification correction might also be performed on the classified changelogs. Machine learning can also be utilized to identify a subset of the changelogs as being relevant to the tenant. A user interface (UI) can then be generated and provided to the tenant that includes the subset of the changelogs. The tenant's interaction with the changelogs presented in the UI can be monitored and data describing the interaction can be used to modify machine learning models utilized for machine learning change classification and for determining the relevance of a changelog to the tenant.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for using a touch sensing system capable of sensing location of a finger or object above a touch surface to inform a touch response system in an electronic device of a predicted future user input event or motion data in advance of an actual touch event. Current user input is sensed via the touch sensing system and data reflecting hover information is created. A model of user interaction with a touch surface is applied to the data representative of the user input to create data reflecting a prediction of a future user input event. In an embodiment, prior to occurrence of the predicted user input event, a predicted location and a predicted time at which the predicted future user input event will occur are provided to a touch response system.
