  • Publication number: 20250111216
    Abstract: In various examples, physical sensor data may be generated by a vehicle in a real-world environment. The physical sensor data may be used to train deep neural networks (DNNs). The DNNs may then be tested in a simulated environment—in some examples using hardware configured for installation in a vehicle to execute an autonomous driving software stack—to control a virtual vehicle in the simulated environment or to otherwise test, verify, or validate the outputs of the DNNs. Prior to use by the DNNs, virtual sensor data generated by virtual sensors within the simulated environment may be encoded to a format consistent with the format of the physical sensor data generated by the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11687975
    Abstract: A deal allocation platform is disclosed. The deal allocation platform may be configured to be used in multiple contexts, such as, for example, a batch processing context and a real-time context. Further, the deal allocation platform may be configured to reallocate users assigned to deals based on an approximation of a global optimization problem. In addition, the deal allocation platform may enable configuration of one or multiple experiments.

  • Publication number: 20210241311
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems, methods and computer readable media for determining whether to suppress presentation of a promotion from a promotion program in an electronic correspondence to a consumer. An example system may performing operations comprising receiving a set of promotions selected for presentation to the consumer in the electronic correspondence, each promotion respectively associated with a promotion score representing an estimated acceptance of the associated promotion by the consumer, determining, using a rules-based filter comprising a set of rules, whether to modify the promotion score, including geofencing data and the consumer's previous promotion purchasing history, in an instance in which the promotion score is modified, determining whether to suppress presentation of the promotion in the electronic correspondence based at least in part on the modified promotion score.
