  • Patent number: 10699078
    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing a comments-centered news reader. Configurations allow live comments to be presented along with the news or similar website content. While a user scrolls up and down in a browser presenting a news article on the user's computer device (e.g., mobile device), linked comments are shown in a selected region. The displayed comments automatically change to adapt to what parts (paragraphs, sentences) of the news article that user is currently reading. At the same time, users can publish their own comments without having to proceed to a separate section of the browser, thus saving the viewer actions and improving the user's experience. The user's system or a remote server records the comments along with the article or the place users are in the article when the comment was entered.

  • Publication number: 20200169561
    Abstract: Authentication data for providing access to a resource to a user is received from a requester. The authentication data encapsulates data required by both a first authentication solution and a second authentication procedure both for providing access to a resource. The first and second authentication solutions can differ in authentication modality with the second authentication solution utilizing at least one machine learning model. Thereafter, using the received authentication data, both of the first and second authentication solutions are initiated. Authentication results are received from both of the first and second authentication solutions. The requester is provided with access to the resource if the both of the received authentication results indicate that authentication of the user was successful. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Publication number: 20190278284
    Abstract: A station-time (S-T) graph may be obtained in response to a first reference line representing a path from a first location to a second location associated with an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV). One or more kernels may be applied to the S-T graph. Each of the one or more kernels may indicate a plurality of points on the S-T graph. One or more constraints may be applied to the S-T graph. Each of the one or more constraints may indicate a condition for points in the S-T graph. A set of speeds for portions of the path is determined based on the one or more kernels and the one or more constraints.

  • Publication number: 20190250000
    Abstract: A first reference line representing a route from a first location to a second location associated with an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV). In response to the first reference line multiple sets of sample points are generated based on the first reference line. Each set of sample points includes a first subset of sample points and a second subset of sample points that are offset from the first subset of sample points. A plurality of segments is generated between the multiple sets of sample points. A path for the ADV is generated based on the plurality of segments. The path includes one sample point from each of the multiple sets of sample points.
