  • Publication number: 20190341036
    Abstract: An information processing system, a computer program product, and methods for modeling multi-party dialog interactions. A method includes learning, directly from data obtained from a multi-party conversational channel, to identify particular multi-party dialog threads as well as participants in one or more conversations. Each participant utterance being converted to a continuous vector representation updated in a model of the multi-party dialog relative to each participant utterance and according to each participant's role selected from the set of: sender, addressee, or observer. The method trains the model to choose a correct addressee and a correct response for each participant utterance, using a joint selection criterion. The method learns directly from the data obtained from the multi-party conversational channel, which dialog turns belong to each particular multi-party dialog thread.

  • Publication number: 20190330490
    Abstract: The present invention relates to aqueous compositions of associative polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs), optionally containing surfactants, biocidal agents and/or oxidants, which can provide surface protection to treated articles including reduced soiling tendency, reduced cleaning effort and improved soil repellancy, as well as providing bacteriostatic properties to treated surfaces that thereby gain resistance to water, environmental exposure and microbial challenge. Treatment means and compositions are provided that employ associative polyelectrolyte complexes formed by combining a water soluble cationic first polyelectrolyte with a water soluble second polyelectrolyte bearing groups of opposite charge to the first polyelectrolyte under suitable mixing conditions where the one polyelectrolyte present in molar excess is added in the form of a first aqueous solution during a mixing step to a second aqueous solution comprising the oppositely charged polyelectrolyte present in molar deficiency.

  • Patent number: 10424244
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to electronic devices with displays. A display may include an array of display pixels each having a drive transistor and an organic light-emitting diode. A pulse-width-modulated current may be provided to the organic light-emitting diode during each display frame to compensate for an on-bias compensation applied to the drive transistor between display frames. The pulse-width-modulated current may be provided with a pulse-width-modulation ratio that decreases over the course of each display frame. The decrease of the pulse-width-modulation ratio for each display frame may be determined based on a peak luminance for that display frame. The reduction in flicker provided by the pulse-width-modulated current may facilitate operation of the display with a reduced refresh rate, thereby reducing power consumption by the display.

  • Patent number: 10417971
    Abstract: An electronic device includes processors that generate image data. The electronic device also includes an electronic display that displays the image data over a first frame duration by programming a first row of display pixels with the image data. The electronic display also displays the image data over the first frame duration by causing the first row of display pixels to emit light for an emission duration that is based at least in part on a first luminance of the image data. The electronic display further displays the image data over the first frame duration by resetting the first row of pixels before an end of the first frame duration.

  • Publication number: 20190277953
    Abstract: Embodiments discussed herein refer to LiDAR systems and methods that monitor for fault conditions that could potentially result in unsafe operation of a laser. The systems and methods can monitor for faulty conditions involving a transmitter system and movement of mirrors in a scanning system. When a fault condition is monitored, a shutdown command is sent to the transmitter system to cease laser transmission. The timing by which the laser should cease transmission is critical in preventing unsafe laser exposure, and embodiments discussed herein enable fault detection and laser shutoff to comply with laser safety standards.
