Abstract: A system is provided for localizing parts of an object in an image by training local detectors using labeled image exemplars with fiducial points corresponding to parts within the image. Each local detector generates a detector score corresponding to the likelihood that a desired part is located at a given location within the image exemplar. A non-parametric global model of the locations of the fiducial points is generated for each of at least a portion of the image exemplars. An input image is analyzed using the trained local detectors, and a Bayesian objective function is derived for the input image from the non-parametric model and detector scores. The Bayesian objective function is optimized using a consensus of global models, and an output is generated with locations of the fiducial points labeled within the object in the image.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards systems and methods for searching of encrypted content. Upon receiving a search request on an access device, the systems and methods of the present disclosure determine a requested content item type based on the search request and identify one or more responsive indices according to the requested content item type. The systems and methods of the present disclosure then interrogate the one or more responsive indices to determine one or more responsive index entries to the search request and generate one or more search results responsive to the search request comprising one or more responsive index entries and a document identifier for each responsive index entry. The systems and methods of the present disclosure then receive a selected search result, identify the encrypted content item associated with the selected search result according to the document identifier, decrypt and transmit the content item.

Abstract: An architecture is presented that automatically detects a location of a user and forwards messages to a pre-configured number associated with the detected location. A location system is provided that comprises a location component and a routing component. The location component publishes presence information of a mobile device. The presence information is associated with a physical location of the mobile device. Once the mobile device's presence information is published, the routing component automatically sets the call forwarding to the physical location for communication to a user of the mobile device. The message is routed to a pre-configured number associated with the physical location of the mobile device. A user of the mobile device pre-configures numbers associated with various frequently visited physical locations (e.g., home, club, etc.).

Abstract: A virtual content store may be provided. Upon receiving a request for a content stream from a subscriber at a regional headend, a central content vault may be examined to determine whether the content stream is available. Once the content stream is determined to be available in the central content vault, a streaming session may be established to the subscriber from the regional headend. The content stream may be retrieved from the central content vault and provided to the subscriber via the streaming session.

Abstract: Techniques for analyzing a message using location-based processing are described in various implementations. In one example implementation, a method may include receiving a message from a first user to a second user. The method may also include determining location information associated with the message, the location information including a first location associated with the first user, a second location associated with the second user, or both the first location and the second location. The method may also include determining, based on the location information, location-based processing to be applied when analyzing content of the message. The method may also include analyzing the content of the message to determine whether the message contains potentially unintended content using the location-based processing.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for swapping faces in images are provided. In some embodiments, a detected face and face data corresponding to an input image is received. A pose bin associated with the detected face is then identified based on the face data. Next, the detected face is aligned to a generic face associated with the pose bin. At least a portion of a candidate face associated with the pose bin is selected. The at least a portion of the candidate face is then copied to a copy of the input image that is aligned with the generic image to form a swapped-face image. The swapped-face image is next aligned to the input image to form an output image, and then the output image is outputted to a display.

Abstract: A method and system for saving power in a peer-to-peer group owner. The group owner uses an adaptive absence method for deciding the absence of the group owner based on the amount of data traffic in the network. The group owner periodically sends period of absence information with dynamic values to client devices, informing them of the dynamically changing period of absence.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing a peer-to-peer connection are disclosed. A first electronic device discovers a second electronic device available for peer-to-peer connection. A group owner intent value is determined based on one or more power characteristics of the first electronic device. A group owner intent value for the second electronic device is received. The determined group owner intent value is compared with the received group owner intent value for the second electronic device. A group role is assumed based on the comparison of the determined group owner intent value and the received group owner intent value for the second electronic device.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for suspending logically related processes associated with an application, determining whether to resume a suspended process based upon a wake policy, and/or managing an application state of an application, such as timer and/or system message data. That is, logically related processes associated with an application, such as child processes, may be identified and suspended based upon logical relationships between the processes (e.g., a logical container hierarchy may be traversed to identify logically related processes). A suspended process may be resumed based upon a wake policy. For example, a suspended process may be resumed based upon an inter-process communication call policy that may be triggered by an application attempting to communicate with the suspended process. Application data may be managed while an application is suspended so that the application may be resumed in a current and/or relevant state.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for automatically classifying face images are provided. In some embodiments, features of the face image to be classified for an attribute are selected, wherein each of the features corresponds to a different region of the face image and specifies one or more of a type of pixel data to be evaluated for the region, a normalization to be applied for the region, and an aggregation to be applied for the region. The face image is classified with respect to the attribute based on the features of the image, and the attribute and a confidence value are assigned to the face image based on the classifying. A query is received from a user, and the attribute is identified as corresponding to the query. The face image is determined as corresponding to the attribute, and the face image is identified to the user as corresponding to the query.
