Publication number: 20240127452Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for panoptically guiding digital image inpainting utilizing a panoptic inpainting neural network. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems utilize a panoptic inpainting neural network to generate an inpainted digital image according to panoptic segmentation map that defines pixel regions corresponding to different panoptic labels. In some cases, the disclosed systems train a neural network utilizing a semantic discriminator that facilitates generation of digital images that are realistic while also conforming to a semantic segmentation. The disclosed systems generate and provide a panoptic inpainting interface to facilitate user interaction for inpainting digital images. In certain embodiments, the disclosed systems iteratively update an inpainted digital image based on changes to a panoptic segmentation map.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Zhe Lin, Haitian Zheng, Elya Shechtman, Jianming Zhang, Jingwan Lu, Ning Xu, Qing Liu, Scott Cohen, Sohrab Amirghodsi

Patent number: 11513853Abstract: Methods, systems, and other embodiments for protecting a shared resource in a data processing system are described herein. In one embodiment, when responding to a request that requires use of the shared resource, determine whether a previously established sleep period for the shared resource has expired. If so, determine a health status of the shared resource based on one or more of applying an asymptotic transform to a percentage of time that a processing unit is idle and applying a linear transform to a session count for the shared resource. Then, determine whether the health status is sufficient to permit responding to the request; and if not, (i) determining an appropriate sleep period for the shared resource, (ii) initiating a sleep state for the shared resource for a period substantially equal to the determined appropriate sleep period; and (iii) exiting the sleep state and responding to the request.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2019Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: Netsuite Inc.Inventors: John Cherniavsky, Sean Fay, Xi (Scott) Liu, Theodore Ray Rice
