  • Publication number: 20230300392
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include receiving, as an input, segmented video scenes, where each video scene includes a specified length of video content. The method may further include scanning the video scenes to identify objects within the video scene and also determining a relative importance value for the identified objects. The relative importance value may include an indication of which objects are to be included in a cropped version of the video scene. The method may also include generating a video crop that is to be applied to the video scene such that the resulting cropped version of the video scene includes those identified objects that are to be included based on the relative importance value. The method may also include applying the generated video crop to the video scene to produce the cropped version of the video scene. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11636273
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present disclosure sets forth a technique for generating translation suggestions. The technique includes receiving a sequence of source-language subtitle events associated with a content item, where each source-language subtitle event includes a different textual string representing a corresponding portion of the content item, generating a unit of translatable text based on a textual string included in at least one source-language subtitle event from the sequence, translating, via software executing on a machine, the unit of translatable text into target-language text, generating, based on the target-language text, at least one target-language subtitle event associated with a portion of the content item corresponding to the at least one source-language subtitle event, and generating, for display, a subtitle presentation template that includes the at least one target-language subtitle event.

  • Patent number: 11113652
    Abstract: An iterative, tiered system for identifying which assets need to be remodeled. This tiered system uses a Bayesian Structural Time Series, followed by an ensemble classification and cost estimation. The results are then input into an optimization model, where the best possible set of stores is selected according to the constraints. Remodeling of the store then commences.

  • Patent number: 10943037
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and corresponding system for generating a computer-aided design (CAD) model from a finite element mesh. The method of the invention begins with selecting one or more mesh-element-faces on a finite element mesh that represents a geometric object to be formed of one or more geometric faces. Next, from the one or more selected mesh-element-faces, respective geometric faces are generated. Finally, any generated geometric faces are stitched together to make a geometric shell of the geometric object that the finite element mesh represents.
