  • Patent number: 11783223
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure present devices, methods, and computer readable medium for techniques for creating machine learning models. Application developers can select a machine learning template from a plurality of templates appropriate for the type of data used in their application. Templates can include multiple templates for classification of images, text, sound, motion, and tabular data. A graphical user interface allows for intuitive selection of training data, validation data, and integration of the trained model into the application. The techniques further display a numerical score for both the training accuracy and validation accuracy using the test data. The application provides a live mode that allows for execution of the machine learning model on a mobile device to allow for testing the model from data from one or more of the sensors (i.e., camera or microphone) on the mobile device.

  • Publication number: 20230176907
    Abstract: The subject technology provides for dynamic task allocation for neural network models. The subject technology determines an operation performed at a node of a neural network model. The subject technology assigns an annotation to indicate whether the operation is better performed on a CPU or a GPU based at least in part on hardware capabilities of a target platform. The subject technology determines whether the neural network model includes a second layer. The subject technology, in response to determining that the neural network model includes a second layer, for each node of the second layer of the neural network model, determines a second operation performed at the node. Further the subject technology assigns a second annotation to indicate whether the second operation is better performed on the CPU or the GPU based at least in part on the hardware capabilities of the target platform.

  • Patent number: 11537368
    Abstract: The subject technology provides for parsing a line of code in a project of an integrated development environment (IDE). The subject technology executes indirectly, using the interpreter, the parsed line of code. The interpreter references a translated source code document generated by a source code translation component from a machine learning (ML) document written in a particular data format. The translated source code document includes code in a chosen programming language specific to the IDE, and the code of the translated source code document is executable by the interpreter. Further the subject technology provides, by the interpreter, an output of the executed parsed line of code.

  • Publication number: 20210306812
    Abstract: Systems and methods for proactively identifying and surfacing relevant content on an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display are disclosed herein. In one aspect, a method includes presenting content in a first application. At least a portion of the content is presented without requiring input from a user. The method further includes receiving a request to open a second application. In response to receiving the request, the second application is presented with an input-receiving field. Before receiving any user input at the input-receiving field, a selectable user interface object is displayed with an indication that the portion of the content was viewed in the first application, allowing the user to paste at least the portion of the content into the input-receiving field. In response to detecting a selection of the selectable user interface object, the portion of the content is pasted into the input-receiving field.

  • Patent number: 11116425
    Abstract: Pacer activity data of a user may be managed. For example, historical activity data of a user corresponding to a particular time of a day prior to a current day may be received. Additionally, a user interface configured to display an activity goal of the user may be generated and the user interface may be provided for presentation. In some aspects, the user interface may be configured to display a first indicator that identifies cumulative progress towards the activity goal and a second indicator that identifies predicted cumulative progress towards the activity goal. The cumulative progress may be calculated based on monitored activity from a start of the current day to the particular time of the current day and the predicted cumulative progress may be calculated based on the received historical activity data corresponding to the particular time of the day prior to the current day.
