  • Latent feature based tag routing
    Patent number: 9767409
    Abstract: Features are disclosed for identifying and routing items for tagging using a latent feature model, such as a recurrent neural network language model (RNNLM). The model may be trained to identify latent features for catalog items such as movies, books, food items, beverages, and the like. Based on similarities in latent features, tags previous assigned to items may be applied to untagged items. Application may be manual or automatic. In either case, resources need to be balances to ensure efficient tagging of items. The included features help to identify and direct these limited tagging resources.

  • Video classification
    Patent number: 9615136
    Abstract: The present technology may identify item category affinities by identifying a plurality of classifications of an item. An accuracy of the plurality of classifications relative to one another for the item may be identified. A category affinity of the item may be determined based on the accuracy of the plurality of classifications relative to one another.

  • METHOD FOR SENSING LEVELS OF CONDUCTIVE LIQUIDS
    Publication number: 20070204690
    Abstract: A liquid level sensor comprises a plurality of electrodes arranged in a defined relationship with respect to a container filling trajectory, a signal generator coupled to one or more of the plurality of electrodes, a signal receiver coupled to one or more of the plurality of electrodes, and a sensing circuit coupled to at least one of the signal generator and signal receiver. The sensing circuit is configured to produce an output indicative of electrical resistance between at least one pair of the plurality of electrodes. The sensing circuit may be associated with the signal receiver and/or with the signal generator.
