Abstract: An imitation learning system may learn how to play a video game based on user interactions by a tester or other user of the video game. The imitation learning system may develop an imitation learning model based, at least in part, on the tester's interaction with the video game and the corresponding state of the video game to determine or predict actions that may be performed when interacting with the video game. The imitation learning system may use the imitation learning model to control automated agents that can play additional instances of the video game. Further, as the user continues to interact with the video game during testing, the imitation learning model may continue to be updated. Thus, the interactions by the automated agents with the video game may, over time, almost mimic the interaction by the user enabling multiple tests of the video game to be performed simultaneously.

More particularly, the present disclosure relates to inferring or drawing conclusions about one or more communications derived from content metrics in near actual time or batched.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for managing the processing and execution of models that may have been developed on a variety of platforms. A multi-model execution module specifying a sequence of models to be executed may be determined. A multi-platform model processing and execution management engine may execute the multi-model execution module internally, or outsource the execution to a distributed model execution orchestration engine. A model data monitoring and analysis engine may monitor the internal and/or distributed execution of the multi-model execution module, and may further transmit notifications to various computing systems.

Abstract: A method of on-demand energy delivery to an active suspension system comprising an actuator body, hydraulic pump, electric motor, plurality of sensors, energy storage facility, and controller is provided. The method comprises disposing an active suspension system in a vehicle between a wheel mount and a vehicle body, detecting a wheel event requiring control of the active suspension; and sourcing energy from the energy storage facility and delivering it to the electric motor in response to the wheel event.

Abstract: A processor core includes a storage device which stores a composite very large instruction word (VLIW) instruction, an instruction unit which obtains the composite VLIW instruction from the storage device and decodes the composite VLIW instruction to determine an operation to perform, and a composite VLIW instruction execution unit which executes the composite VLIW instruction to perform the operation.

Abstract: Described herein are tiered synchronization systems and methods suitable for use in non-relational database systems distributed across multiple remote locations, which may provide access to some or all functionality of a cloud-tier server at a mid-tier server. For example, the mid-tier server may be locally accessible (e.g., over LAN) to clients independent of any remote connection to the cloud-tier server (e.g., over the Internet). In some embodiments, a mid-tier server may be configured to perform flexible sync functionality, such as flexible partitioning and/or permissions, whether independently and/or in cooperation with the cloud-tier server performing the same or similar functionality. In some embodiments, systems described herein may provide flexible and consistent local data access to non-relational data in locations where remote network connections are intermittent, such as due to weather conditions, relatively frequent network outages, and/or due to the location regularly changing (e.g.

Abstract: According to an aspect of the invention, there is provided a system for reducing water-entry shock for a projectile entering the water, the system comprising: a first component, the first component being moveable to a target region for which water-entry shock is to be reduced, and arranged to interact with the water, for reducing water-entry shock for a second component; a second component in the form of the projectile, arranged to enter the water in the region for which water-entry shock has been reduced by the first component, functionality of the second projectile component being triggered by the water.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods that leverage machine learning techniques to provide information about items that are on display during a live event. A 3D volumetric capture system is used to construct a 3D representation of the event in real time. For example, depth and color data from multiple perspectives may be used to construct a 3D mesh of colored polygons that represent the scene. Users may view the live event with a 3D enabled virtual reality or augmented reality headset. Background subtraction may be used to isolate items of interest. In some configurations a machine learning model may process the 3D mesh to generate a textual description of items in the scene. The textual description may then be used to search for more information about a particular item. Additionally, or alternatively, the machine learning model may directly predict one or more items in the scene.

Abstract: In addition to an original prompt that is manually provided by a user, contextual information is sent to a generative AI to elicit a higher quality response. Sensors collect audio, video, physiological, cognitive, environmental, and digital data from the user. Machine-learning models evaluate the sensor data to infer the emotional state of the user. The emotional state is used to augment the original prompt with contextual information. The augmented prompt is fed into the generative AI to make it context-aware. Accordingly, the generative AI can automatically pick up on non-verbal cues that the user did not manually articulate in the original prompt. Just as a human-to-human conversation involves a combination of verbal and non-verbal communications, the present concepts enable the generative AI to also leverage non-verbal communication when interacting with human users.
