Abstract: Machine learning systems and methods for image splicing detection and localization are provided. The system receives an image (e.g., a still digital image, an image frame from a video file, etc.) and divides the image into a set of patches using a patch partitioning algorithm. The system then processes the patches a point set in a high-dimensional feature space, and extracts features from the patches. The system then performs deep learning on the point sets by performing image-level manipulation classification and localization.

Abstract: There is a need for more accurate and more efficient predictive data analysis steps/operations. This need can be addressed by, for example, techniques for efficient predictive data analysis steps/operations. In one example, a method includes mapping a primary event having a primary event code to a related subset of a plurality of candidate secondary events by at least processing one or more lifecycle-related attributes for the primary event code using a lifecycle inference machine learning model to detect an inferred lifecycle for the primary event.

Abstract: In a method, performed by a server, for presenting content on a user device during load latency, a content item for presentation on the user device is selected. The content item and intervening content are transmitted to the user device. The intervening content includes a static version of a landing page associated with the content item. A request to load the landing page is received from the user device. The request is initiated by selection of the content item on the user device. The transmitting occurs before receiving any request to load the landing page from the user device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for content presentation. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a request for a content item to be presented to a user; for a collection of content items, identifying one or more candidate content items including using image keywords derived from images associated with the user to identify the one or more candidate content items; selecting a content item responsive to the content request from the candidate content items; and sending the selected content item for presentation to the user.

Abstract: A shield member is placed within a polymer flexible carrier in between a manipulation member used to aid implant of a nerve cuff and the nerve to avoid touching the nerve surface with the manipulation member because the texture or material of the flexible member typically causes more foreign body reaction or other biologic reaction from the nerve and surrounding tissues than the polymer of the flexible carrier itself.

Abstract: Systems and methods of selecting content based on image data are provided. A system can receive an image captured by a camera of the computing device. The system can analyze the image to identify a pattern that matches a predetermined pattern of an object stored in an image pattern database comprising a plurality of predetermined patterns of objects. The system can identify one or more image keywords from the image based on the predetermined pattern of the object that matches the image. The system can select, based on a comparison of the one or more image keywords with one or more keywords of each of a plurality of content items, a content item. The system can provide, to the computing device, the content item to cause the computing device to present the content item.

Abstract: Various methods, systems, and computer program products are disclosed for communicating location-based digital components to a mobile and other devices. A natural language processor component can parse an input audio signal to identify a request and a keyword. A content selector can select digital components based on keyword and request. An audio signal generator component can generate an output signal that includes a selected digital components. An interface can transmit the output signal to cause a client computing device to drive a speaker to generate an acoustic wave corresponding to the output signal prior to occurrence of at least one of the first action and the second action.

Abstract: Systems and methods for pre-loading and displaying intervening content, such as advertisements, on a mobile device during latency periods, such as when an advertiser landing page is requested by that device, are provided herein. Intervening content may be pre-loaded on to the device and associated with one or more particular advertisements such that selecting/interacting with the associated advertisement triggers intervening content display during known or detected periods of latency. In some cases, a latency threshold or thresholds may determine one or more types of content to present, and/or a content presentation sequence.

Abstract: A source device includes various sensors, such as a GPS receiver. The source device provides operation context data to a server that indicates movement of the source device. The source device may also provide a movement context. The server also evaluates usage of data from the device by other applications or devices to determine a usage context. Based on the movement, operation, and usage contexts, the server selects a frequency at which data is collected for a sensor and a frequency at which the data is transmitted to the server. For example, where the device is not moving or is indoors, less location data is collected. Where no user is tracking the device, location data may be transmitted less frequently and may also be collected less frequently.
