Abstract: A system and methods for delivering real-time targeted marketing offers (“TMOs”) to consumers during a session with an online (web-based) Internet portal, particularly suitable for financial institution portals of financial institutions. An offer management system (“OMS”) receives information corresponding to an advertising campaign of an advertiser corresponding to terms of a TMO to be provided to a consumer accessing the financial institution portal, and provides advertising campaign data corresponding to the TMO and to an offer-triggering event (“OTE”) to an offer placement system (“OPS”). An OPS receives the advertising campaign data, determines the occurrence of the OTE by a consumer during an online session with the financial institution portal, and delivers information corresponding to the TMO to the consumer. In response to the OTE, such as display of a list of transactions, the predetermined TMO is delivered to the consumer during the online session.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide systems and methods for a partially supervised training model for online action detection. Specifically, the online action detection framework may include two modules that are trained jointly—a Temporal Proposal Generator (TPG) and an Online Action Recognizer (OAR). In the training phase, OAR performs both online per-frame action recognition and start point detection. At the same time, TPG generates class-wise temporal action proposals serving as noisy supervisions for OAR. TPG is then optimized with the video-level annotations. In this way, the online action detection framework can be trained with video-category labels only without pre-annotated segment-level boundary labels.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for improving media content effectiveness. A methodology implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes generating an intermediate representation (IR) of provided media content, the IR specifying editable elements of the content and maintaining a result of cumulative edits to those elements. The method also includes editing the elements of the IR to generate a set of candidate IR variations. The method further includes creating a set of candidate media contents based on the candidate IR variations, evaluating the candidate media contents to generate effectiveness scores, and pruning the set of candidate IR variations to retain a threshold number of the candidate IR variations as surviving IR variations associated with the highest effectiveness scores. The process iterates until either an effectiveness score exceeds a threshold value, the incremental improvement at each iteration falls below a desired value, or a maximum number of iterations have been performed.

A specific embodiment of the method includes: generating, in response to determining that a request input by a user satisfies a guiding condition, guiding information, and feeding back the guiding information to the user, the guiding condition including one of the following: associating with a plurality of query intents, or associating with no query intent; and generating, based on the request and a feedback input by the user corresponding to the guiding information, an intent-clear request, and feeding back push information bound with the intent-clear request to the user. Realizing that in the process of interacting with the user, for conditions such as the request input by the user is associated with a plurality of query intents or incompleteness, an intent-clear request associated with an explicit query intent is determined through the interaction with the user.

Abstract: A method for receiving text files, each having data defined in various format types. The text files are received without a reference to a schema defining the text files. A description file for each of the text files describing one of the format types is received and the description file includes a separate file from a corresponding text file. Before processing the text file and absent receiving the schema, the method identifies a data structure of the description file, the data structure comprising one or more parameters and definitions of the various format types. Each of the text files is processed and during processing of each of the text files, dynamically generating, at run-time, one or more reader engines to read the data in the text files and dynamically extracting, at run-time, data based on the identified data structure. The method generates an output file with the extracted data.

Abstract: Computing systems may support image classification and image detection services, and these services may utilize object detection/image classification machine learning models. The described techniques provide for normalization of confidence scores corresponding to manipulated target images and for non-max suppression within the range of confidence scores for manipulated images. In one example, the techniques provide for generating different scales of a test image, and the system performs normalization of confidence scores corresponding to each scaled image and non-max suppression per scaled image These techniques may be used to provide more accurate image detection (e.g., object detection and/or image classification) and may be used with models that are not trained on modified image sets. The model may be trained on a standard (e.g. non-manipulated) image set but used with manipulated target images and the described techniques to provide accurate object detection.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide unsupervised density-based clustering to infer table structure from document. Specifically, a number of words are identified from a block of text in an noneditable document, and the spatial coordinates of each word relative to the rectangular region are identified. Based on the word density of the rectangular region, the words are grouped into clusters using a heuristic radius search method. Words that are grouped into the same cluster are determined to be the element that belong to the same cell. In this way, the cells of the table structure can be identified. Once the cells are identified based on the word density of the block of text, the identified cells can be expanded horizontally or grouped vertically to identify rows or columns of the table structure.
