  • Publication number: 20230317062
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for generating internal state representations of a neural network during processing and using the internal state representations for classification or search. In some embodiments, the internal state representations are generated from the output activation functions of a subset of nodes of the neural network. The internal state representations may be used for classification by training a classification model using internal state representations and corresponding classifications. The internal state representations may be used for search, by producing a search feature from an search input and comparing the search feature with one or more feature representations to find the feature representation with the highest degree of similarity.

  • Patent number: 11367433
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for end-to-end neural networks for speech recognition and classification and additional machine learning techniques that may be used in conjunction or separately. Some embodiments comprise multiple neural networks, directly connected to each other to form an end-to-end neural network. One embodiment comprises a convolutional network, a first fully-connected network, a recurrent network, a second fully-connected network, and an output network. Some embodiments are related to generating speech transcriptions, and some embodiments relate to classifying speech into a number of classifications.

  • Patent number: 11321946
    Abstract: Techniques for selectively associating frames with content entities and using such associations to dynamically generate web content related to the content entities. One embodiment performs a facial recognition analysis on frames of one or more instances of video content to identify a plurality of frames that each depict a first content entity. A measure of quality and a measure of confidence that the frame contains the depiction of the first content entity are determined for each of the identified plurality of frames. Embodiments select one or more frames from the identified plurality of frames, based on the measures of quality and the measures of confidence. The selected one or more frames are associated with the first content entity and web content associated with the first content entity is generated that includes a depiction of the selected one or more frames in association with an instance of video content.

  • Publication number: 20200035219
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for customizing a neural network for a custom dataset, when the neural network has been trained on data from a general dataset. The neural network may comprise an output layer including one or more nodes corresponding to candidate outputs. The values of the nodes in the output layer may correspond to a probability that the candidate output is the correct output for an input. The values of the nodes in the output layer may be adjusted for higher performance when the neural network is used to process data from a custom dataset.
