  • Patent number: 11887046
    Abstract: A system may use sensor data from a facility to generate tentative values associated with an event, such as the identification of an item removed from a shelf of the facility. A confidence value associated with each of the tentative values may be less than a confidence threshold. In response, inquiry data seeking confirmation of a tentative value from an associate is generated and sent to one or more associates in the facility. Responses from the associates are collected to determine a selection of one of the tentative values. The selected tentative value is designated as output data for the system. Thereafter, the output data and the original sensor data are designated as training data, which can then be used to train or update machine learning systems. Subsequent use of the updated machine learning systems can yield more accurate results.

  • Patent number: 11886795
    Abstract: A method for marking text in digital typography includes identifying one or more glyphs that intersect or overlap with a text marking bounding box, drawing a modified text marking to avoid intersecting with the one or more glyphs, and causing a display device to display the modified text marking with the text. The text marking is associated with a line of text including the glyphs or adjacent to a waxline of text including the glyphs. For each of the glyphs, the glyph corresponding to the glyph bounding box intersecting with the text marking is indicated. The modified text marking is drawn based on outlines of the glyphs, intersections between a text marking bounding box and the glyph outlines, and a user-specified glyph offset, text marking weight, and/or text marking offset to avoid intersecting with the glyphs. The shape of the modified text marking avoids intersecting with or overlapping the glyph.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A device (such as a first user equipment (UE)) may communicate control signaling indicating a resource allocation for a sidelink channel. The first UE may receive, from a second UE, a first resource map. The first resource map may indicate a first sidelink transmission scheduled within a first time and frequency resource of the resource allocation, a first priority level of the first resource map, and a parameter threshold used to generate the first resource map. In some cases, the first UE may communicate a second sidelink transmission within the resource allocation for the sidelink channel based on the first resource map.

  • Patent number: 11886932
    Abstract: Reliability monitoring can be performed for compute instances in a cluster with auto-scaling capability. Such monitoring can analyze state information for various instances, such as spot instances, to determine when an interruption or termination is to occur. An impact assessor can determine the impact on performance due to any such interruption or termination, and if necessary to maintain at least a minimum level of performance then an action performer can obtain additional or alternate instances, which may be of a different type, to make up for lost capacity. Any tasks being performed can be migrated to the newly-allocated instances without any failures or significant impact on performance, and the previously-utilized instances can be released corresponding to the termination or interruption.

  • Patent number: 11886461
    Abstract: A system tokenizes raw values and corresponding standardized values into raw token sequences and corresponding standardized token sequences. A machine-learning model learns standardization from token insertions and token substitutions that modify the raw token sequences to match the corresponding standardized token sequences. The system tokenizes an input value into an input token sequence. The machine-learning model determines a probability of inserting an insertion token after an insertion markable token in the input token sequence. If the probability of inserting the insertion token satisfies a threshold, the system inserts the insertion token after the insertion markable token in the input token sequence. The machine-learning model determines a probability of substituting a substitution token for a substitutable token in the input token sequence.

  • Patent number: 11887589
    Abstract: Techniques for voice-based interactions are described. In an example, a device presents a user interface on a display. The device starts an operational mode of the device. The operational mode restricts voice-based interactions with the user interface to a set of commands. The set of commands is defined in a language model that is stored on the device. Further, the device receives, at a microphone of the device, audio data corresponding to a natural language utterance and generates, from the audio data, text data that corresponds to the natural language utterance. The device determines, based at least in part on the language model, that semantics of the text data correspond to a command from the set of commands and presents, on the display, an outcome of performing the command.

  • Patent number: 11887216
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for image processing. Embodiments of the present disclosure include an image processing apparatus configured to generate modified images (e.g., synthetic faces) by conditionally changing attributes or landmarks of an input image. A machine learning model of the image processing apparatus encodes the input image to obtain a joint conditional vector that represents attributes and landmarks of the input image in a vector space. The joint conditional vector is then modified, according to the techniques described herein, to form a latent vector used to generate a modified image. In some cases, the machine learning model is trained using a generative adversarial network (GAN) with a normalization technique, followed by joint training of a landmark embedding and attribute embedding (e.g., to reduce inference time).
