Abstract: A method of controlling an Internet of Things (IoT) device to perform an action, is performed by an electronic device and includes obtaining at least one input from a user, based on a predefined action corresponding to the obtained at least one input being not identifiable, transmitting the obtained at least one input to a server, receiving, from the server, information regarding at least one activity that is mapped to at least one IoT device that is identified based on the transmitted at least one input, and information regarding at least one object and/or at least one context, and identifying an action to be performed on an IoT device among the at least one IoT device, based on a correlation between the obtained at least one input and the at least one activity mapped to the at least one IoT device.

Abstract: Embodiments provide a context-aware digital assistant at multiple user devices participating in a video communication session by using context information from a first user device to determine a digital assistant response at a second user device. In this manner, users participating in the video communication session may interact with the digital assistant during the video communication session as if the digital assistant is another participant in the video communication session. Embodiments further describe automatically determining candidate digital assistant tasks based on a shared transcription of user voice inputs received at user devices participating in a video communication session. In this manner, a digital assistant of a user device participating in a video communication session may proactively determine one or more tasks that a user of the user device may want the digital assistant to perform based on conversations held during the video communication session.

Abstract: State information can be determined for a subject that is robust to different inputs or conditions. For drowsiness, facial landmarks can be determined from captured image data and used to determine a set of blink parameters. These parameters can be used, such as with a temporal network, to estimate a state (e.g., drowsiness) of the subject. To improve robustness, an eye state determination network can determine eye state from the image data, without reliance on intermediate landmarks, that can be used, such as with another temporal network, to estimate the state of the subject. A weighted combination of these values can be used to determine an overall state of the subject. To improve accuracy, individual behavior patterns and context information can be utilized to account for variations in the data due to subject variation or current context rather than changes in state.

Abstract: Disclosed is a decoupling dipole structure that renders a midband dipole effectively transparent to a nearby lowband dipole. This not only improves the beam quality in the lowband without sacrificing beam quality in the midband, it also enables different lowband dipoles to be employed to customize the lowband performance of the multiband antenna without requiring a redesign of the midband dipoles or of the array face.

Abstract: In various examples, audio alerts of emergency response vehicles may be detected and classified using audio captured by microphones of an autonomous or semi-autonomous machine in order to identify travel directions, locations, and/or types of emergency response vehicles in the environment. For example, a plurality of microphone arrays may be disposed on an autonomous or semi-autonomous machine and used to generate audio signals corresponding to sounds in the environment. These audio signals may be processed to determine a location and/or direction of travel of an emergency response vehicle (e.g., using triangulation). Additionally, to identify siren types—and thus emergency response vehicle types corresponding thereto—the audio signals may be used to generate representations of a frequency spectrum that may be processed using a deep neural network (DNN) that outputs probabilities of alert types being represented by the audio data.

Abstract: Approaches for an advanced AI-assisted vehicle can utilize an extensive suite of sensors inside and outside the vehicle, providing information to a computing platform running one or more neural networks. The neural networks can perform functions such as facial recognition, eye tracking, gesture recognition, head position, and gaze tracking to monitor the condition and safety of the driver and passengers. The system also identifies and tracks body pose and signals of people inside and outside the vehicle to understand their intent and actions. The system can track driver gaze to identify objects the driver might not see, such as cross-traffic and approaching cyclists. The system can provide notification of potential hazards, advice, and warnings. The system can also take corrective action, which may include controlling one or more vehicle subsystems, or when necessary, autonomously controlling the entire vehicle. The system can work with vehicle systems for enhanced analytics and recommendations.

Abstract: In an approach to intelligent connection placement across multiple logical ports, a mapping table for a virtual machine is created. A connection request to connect a local port to a port on a peer device is received. Whether an entry exists in the mapping table for the port on the peer device is determined. Responsive to determining that an entry exists in the mapping table for the port on the peer device, whether a virtual function exists the port on the peer device in the mapping table for the same physical function is determined. A virtual function is selected from the mapping table to connect the local port to the port on the peer device.

Abstract: A system described herein may provide for the separation of functions associated with a User Plane Function (“UPF”) in a wireless network (e.g., a Fifth Generation (“5G”) network), such that routing devices associated with the wireless network may perform functionality that would otherwise be performed by virtualized hosts or other configurable resources. For example, routing components which form a backhaul or other portion of the network may process traffic according to a suitable set of policies (e.g., Quality of Service (“QoS”) policies, content filtering policies, queueing policies, and/or other policies) instead of transmitting such traffic to a UPF associated with the network core for processing.

Abstract: A machine learning model (MLM) may be trained and evaluated. Attribute-based performance metrics may be analyzed to identify attributes for which the MLM is performing below a threshold when each are present in a sample. A generative neural network (GNN) may be used to generate samples including compositions of the attributes, and the samples may be used to augment the data used to train the MLM. This may be repeated until one or more criteria are satisfied. In various examples, a temporal sequence of data items, such as frames of a video, may be generated which may form samples of the data set. Sets of attribute values may be determined based on one or more temporal scenarios to be represented in the data set, and one or more GNNs may be used to generate the sequence to depict information corresponding to the attribute values.

Abstract: An 8T8R antenna has a plurality of columns of antenna elements whereby a subset of the columns are combined into a plurality of composite columns. In an example, the antenna has six columns of antenna elements whereby the two columns at either end of the array are combined into a composite column. The antenna ports corresponding to the two outer composite columns are coupled to a splitter/combiner that has a power divider and a delay line to provide phase compensation. The antenna also has a phase compensator that provides for phase compensation between the outputs of the splitter/combiners and the antenna ports corresponding to the inner columns that are not combined into composite columns. In a variation, the columns of antenna elements are combined into a plurality of composite columns, each having a pair of columns, whereby the number of columns is twice the number of composite columns.
