  • Publication number: 20250119626
    Abstract: A system processed a representation of a media content item using a trained machine learning model to identify whether the media content item is a modified media content item. The trained machine learning model outputs an indication of one or more modifications of the media content item. Responsive to determining that the one or more modifications satisfy a criterion, one or more operations are performed on the media content item in view of the one or more modifications to generate an updated media content item. The updated media content item is compared to known media content items to identify known material contained therein.

  • Patent number: 12272259
    Abstract: An emergency detection and resolution system for alerting users of available options given a particular emergency (and set of flight conditions). The system may assist the pilot (crew) in resolving or reducing the urgency of an emergency or in executing a proposed solution to a given emergency, or may direct the aircraft autopilot in executing the suggested (and selected) solution. In either case, the system of the present invention provides the pilot with time to consider an emergency and its resolution (while the aircraft is directed toward a safe configuration or flight condition. The present invention may also ascertain the configuration of an aircraft from changes in the aircraft's position over time, or update an aircraft in preparation for a particular flight or flight condition.

  • Publication number: 20250053877
    Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a memory on which is stored machine readable instructions that may cause the processor to access data about an environment of an agent, identify an actor in the environment, and access candidate models, in which each of the candidate models may predict a certain action of the identified actor. The instructions may also cause the processor to apply a selected candidate model of the accessed candidate models on the accessed data to determine a predicted action of the identified actor and may implement a recursive reinforcement learning model using the predicted action of the identified actor to determine an action that the agent is to perform. The instructions may further cause the processor to cause the agent to perform the determined action.
