  • Publication number: 20230345088
    Abstract: A playback application is configured to dynamically generate topology for an interactive media title. The playback application obtains an initial topology and also collects various data associated with a user interacting with the feature. The playback application then modifies the initial topology, based on the collected data, to generate a dynamic topology tailored to the user. The dynamic topology describes the set of choices available to the user during playback as well as which options can be selected by the user when making a given choice. In addition, the playback application also selectively buffers different portions of the interactive media title, based on the collected data, in anticipation of the user selecting particular options for available choices.

  • Patent number: 11770565
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a graph streaming application computes a first distance along a first potential playback path between a first playback position and a first media content block. The graph streaming application then computes a first score for the first media content block based on the first distance and a first probability associated with the first potential playback path. Similarly, the graph streaming application computes a second score for a second media content block based on a second playback position, a second potential playback path, and a second probability associated with the second potential playback path. The graph streaming application compares the first score and the second score to determine that the first media content block should be buffered by a client device. The graph streaming application then causes the first media content block to be stored in a playback buffer for subsequent playback on the client device.

  • Publication number: 20230297446
    Abstract: Methods for generating data models using a generative adversarial network can begin by receiving a data model generation request by a model optimizer from an interface. The model optimizer can provision computing resources with a data model. As a further step, a synthetic dataset for training the data model can be generated using a generative network of a generative adversarial network, the generative network trained to generate output data differing at least a predetermined amount from a reference dataset according to a similarity metric. The computing resources can train the data model using the synthetic dataset. The model optimizer can evaluate performance criteria of the data model and, based on the evaluation of the performance criteria of the data model, store the data model and metadata of the data model in a model storage. The data model can then be used to process production data.
