  • Patent number: 11961298
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting objects in a video are provided. A method can include inputting a video comprising a plurality of frames into an interleaved object detection model comprising a plurality of feature extractor networks and a shared memory layer. For each of one or more frames, the operations can include selecting one of the plurality of feature extractor networks to analyze the one or more frames, analyzing the one or more frames by the selected feature extractor network to determine one or more features of the one or more frames, determining an updated set of features based at least in part on the one or more features and one or more previously extracted features extracted from a previous frame stored in the shared memory layer, and detecting an object in the one or more frames based at least in part on the updated set of features.

  • Patent number: 11941065
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for generating record clusters. The methods comprise receiving a plurality of records from data sources and providing at least a subset of the records to a scoring model that determines scores for various pairings of the records, a score for a given pair of the records representing a probability that the given pair of records contain data elements about the same entity. The method further comprises generating a graph data structure that includes a plurality of nodes, individual nodes representing a different record from the records. The method also comprises assigning a different unique identifier to individual clusters of the final clusters and responding to a request for data regarding a given entity by providing aggregated data elements from those records of the records associated with a cluster of the final clusters having an identifier that represents the given entity.

  • Patent number: 10713491
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for performing object detection. In one aspect, a method includes receiving multiple video frames. The video frames are sequentially processed using an object detection neural network to generate an object detection output for each video frame. The object detection neural network includes a convolutional neural network layer and a recurrent neural network layer. For each video frame after an initial video frame, processing the video frame using the object detection neural network includes generating a spatial feature map for the video frame using the convolutional neural network layer and generating a spatio-temporal feature map for the video frame using the recurrent neural network layer.
