  • Publication number: 20190325887
    Abstract: A method includes accessing, by at least one processing device, an audible signal including at least one in-ear microphone audible signal and at least one external microphone audible signal and at least one noise signal; training a generative network to generate an enhanced external microphone signal from an in-ear microphone signal based on the at least one in-ear microphone audible signal and the at least one external microphone audible signal; and outputting the generative network.

  • Publication number: 20190251360
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method, an apparatus and a computer program product for analyzing media content. The method comprises receiving media content; performing feature extraction of the media content at a plurality of convolution layers to produce a plurality of layer-specific feature maps; transmitting from the plurality of convolution layers a corresponding layer-specific feature map to a corresponding de-convolution layer of a plurality of de-convolution layers via a recurrent connection between the plurality of convolution layers and the plurality of de-convolution layers; and generating a reconstructed media content based on the plurality of feature maps.

  • Publication number: 20190200939
    Abstract: An approach is provided for synchronizing an impedance cardiography (“ICG”) measurement period with an electrocardiography (“ECG”) signal to reduce patient (105) auxiliary current. The approach involves measuring an ECG signal of a patient via an ECG device (103). The approach also involves processing the ECG signal to cause, at least in part, a detection of one or more ECG features of the signal. The approach further involves synchronizing a start, a stop, or a combination thereof of a measurement of an ICG signal of the patient via an ICG device (101) based, at least in part, on the detection of the one or more ECG features. The measurement of the ICG signal includes injecting an electrical current into the patient (105) for a duration of the measurement.

  • Publication number: 20190012581
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method comprising receiving a set of input samples, said set of input images comprising real images and generated images; extracting a set of feature maps from multiple layers of a pre-trained neural network for both the real images and the generated images; determining statistics for each feature map of the set of feature maps; comparing statistics of the feature maps for the real images to statistics of the feature maps for the generated images by using a distance function to obtain a vector of distances; and averaging the distances of the vector of distances to have a value indicating a diversity of the generated images. The invention also relates to technical equipment for implementing the method.

  • Publication number: 20160314392
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for receiving, at a bidirectional recurrent neural network, a music file preprocessed to include at least one token data inserted within at least one location in the music file in order to enable varying the music file; generating, by the bidirectional recurrent neural network, an output music file, wherein the bidirectional recurrent neural network generates music data to replace the at least one token data; and providing, by the bidirectional recurrent neural network, the output music file representing a varied version of the music file. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

  • Publication number: 20140376823
    Abstract: A photo notification system i comprises one or more mobile terminals, a data communications network, and a photo sharing platform. The photo sharing platform is configured to compare a received reference image (6.1), associated with a first user, with one or more stored images associated with other users. The platform identifies an object or scene of interest in the reference image (6.2), and compares the identified object or scene of interest with objects or scenes of interest in the one or more stored images (6.3) to identify common content having an appearance change (6.5). In such case, a notification message is sent to the first user referencing or comprising the stored image(s) having the identified changed appearance (6.7).

  • Publication number: 20090327953
    Abstract: Web style navigation methods are applied across applications and webpages, whether local or web-based, and hypertext navigation methods used in the web are extended to local applications. Local and web applications are mixed seamlessly so that the user does not perceive any difference between navigation within either one of, or between, those types of applications. The user navigates between different user interface states, in and out of different types of applications. All views and states of views are recorded and the user can switch to a previous view, in the state in which it was viewed, using a back, history or other suitable state recording and retrieval function.
