Abstract: Generally, the present disclosure is directed to systems and methods of quantizing a database with respect to a novel loss or quantization error function which applies a weight to an error measurement of quantized elements respectively corresponding to the datapoints in the database. The weight is determined based on the magnitude of an inner product between the respective datapoints and a query compared therewith. In contrast to previous work, embodiments of the proposed loss function are responsive to the expected magnitude of an inner product between the respective datapoints and a query compared therewith and can prioritize error reduction for higher-ranked pairings of the query and the datapoints. Thus, the systems and methods of the present disclosure provide solutions to some of the problems with traditional quantization approaches, which regard all error as equally impactful.

Abstract: A vehicle is operable in a first mode in which vehicle actions are controlled in response to inputs received by an input device carried by the vehicle from an operator while being boarded on the vehicle and in a second mode in which vehicle actions are controlled in response to inputs received from the operator while the operator is proximate the vehicle, but no longer boarded on the vehicle. The vehicle carries a sensor configured to output a sensed input, as sensed by the sensor, from the operator proximate the vehicle, but not boarded on the vehicle. The sensed input is recognized and associated with a vehicle action and control signals are output to the vehicle based on the sensed input to cause the vehicle to carry out the vehicle action.

Abstract: Systems and methods that enable implementation of content aware file management labeling. Techniques disclosed enable real-time analysis of a data file so that associations between the data file and applicable file management label(s) can be automatically suggested and/or made while a user is working in the data file. A user may deploy an application on a client device to edit a data file. While the user is actively editing the data file, the application may transmit modification data to a content analysis service which analyzes the modification data to determine whether the modifications result in a file management label becoming applicable to the data file. Ultimately, the content analysis service may transmit a verdict to the client device to cause the application to display a labeling suggestion to the user and/or to automatically apply a label to the data file while it is being worked on by the user.
