  • Publication number: 20250045252
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, apparatus, device and storage medium for data processing. If a kernel module sends a data calling request to a userspace process, first modification time information and second modification time information of data corresponding to the data calling request are obtained by the userspace process. The first and second modification time information are used to indicate modification time information of the data in the kernel module and in a file service end, respectively. The first and second modification time information are compared by the userspace process. If the first and second modification time information are inconsistent, a verification invalidation result is returned to the kernel module. The data in the kernel module is invalidated by the kernel module according to the verification invalidation result. The data in the file service is synchronized by the userspace process to the kernel module.

  • Publication number: 20250022165
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an interactive behavior understanding method for posture reconstruction based on skeleton and image features. The steps are as follows: constructing and preprocessing the data set, extracting skeleton and image features, fusing and reconstructing these features, and conducting experimental evaluation and validation. This method retains the purity of skeleton features for human behavior information extraction and uses image features to retain effective environmental information, complementing the model feature information. Skeleton features are extracted using a graph convolution network, enhancing the relevance of input skeleton point information for accurate feature extraction. Effective image features are quickly and accurately extracted through the Vision Transformer network combined with a multi-head attention mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20240320451
    Abstract: Automatic generation of intelligent content is created using a system of computers including a user device and a cloud-based component that processes the user information. The system performs a process that includes receiving an input document and parsing the input document to generate inputs for a natural language generation model using a text analysis model. The natural language generation model generates one or more candidate presentation scripts based on the inputs. A presentation script is selected from the candidate presentation scripts and displayed. A text-to-speech model may be used to generate a synthesized audio presentation of the presentation script. A final presentation may be generated that includes a visual display of the input document and the corresponding audio presentation in sync with the visual display.

  • Publication number: 20240233706
    Abstract: According to implementations of the subject matter described herein, a solution is proposed for text to speech. In this solution, an initial phoneme sequence corresponding to text is generated, the initial phoneme sequence comprising feature representations of a plurality of phonemes. A first phoneme sequence is generated by inserting a feature representation of an additional phoneme into the initial phoneme sequence, the additional phoneme being related to a characteristic of spontaneous speech. The duration of a phoneme among the plurality of phonemes and the additional phoneme is determined by using an expert model corresponding to the phoneme, and a second phoneme sequence is generated based on the first phoneme sequence. Spontaneous-style speech corresponding to the text is determined based on the second phoneme sequence. In this way, spontaneous-style speech with more varying rhythms can be generated based on spontaneous-style additional phonemes and multiple expert models.

  • Patent number: 11977167
    Abstract: An improved, efficient method for mapping world points from an environment (e.g., points generated by a LIDAR sensor of an autonomous vehicle) to locations (e.g., pixels) within rolling-shutter images taken of the environment is provided. This improved method allows for accurate localization of the world point in a rolling-shutter image via an iterative process that converges in very few iterations. The method poses the localization process as an iterative process for determining the time, within the rolling-shutter exposure period of the image, at which the world point was imaged by the camera. The method reduces the number of times the world point is projected into the normalized space of the camera image, often converging in three or fewer iterations.

  • Publication number: 20230360242
    Abstract: An electronic device tracks its motion in an environment while building a three-dimensional visual representation of the environment that is used to correct drift in the tracked motion. A motion tracking module estimates poses of the electronic device based on feature descriptors corresponding to the visual appearance of spatial features of objects in the environment. A mapping module builds a three-dimensional visual representation of the environment based on a stored plurality of maps, and feature descriptors and estimated device poses received from the motion tracking module. The mapping module provides the three-dimensional visual representation of the environment to a localization module, which identifies correspondences between stored and observed feature descriptors. The localization module performs a loop closure by minimizing the discrepancies between matching feature descriptors to compute a localized pose.

  • Publication number: 20230298567
    Abstract: Implementations of the subject matter described herein provide a solution for speech synthesis and speech recognition. In this solution, a Text to Speech (TTS) model and an Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) model supporting at least one language are obtained. The TTS model and the ASR model are adjusted, based on a first set of paired data in a target language, to support the target language. The TTS model is optimized based on the first set of paired data and a first set of synthesized paired data in the target language generated by the ASR model while the ASR model is optimized based on the first set of paired data and a second set of synthesized paired data in the target language generated by the TTS model. As such, the solution can provide TTS and ASR models with high accuracy for languages lacking training data by using less training data.
