  • Patent number: 10545919
    Abstract: Original data that represents a real-world object or activity and organized along three or more dimensions is received. The original data is represented as a product of several multipliers including a sparse core, such that the sparse core has fewer non-zero values than a tensor representation of the original data, and one or more unitary matrix multipliers. Modified data is generated based on the original data using the multipliers. This includes compressing, or reconstructing missing elements in, the tensor representation of the original data, such that the modified data provides a description of the real-world object or activity that is less complete or more complete, respectively, relative to the original data.

  • Patent number: 9710718
    Abstract: Provided are a liveness authentication method and apparatus, which perform liveness authentication by determining whether incident light is linear polarized light. The liveness authentication method comprises: making incident light incident to a set of polarizing filters not overlapped with each other in a light transmission direction; detecting, for each of the set of polarizing filters, an intensity of light transmitting through the polarizing filter, so as to obtain a set of light intensities corresponding to respective polarizing filters of the set of polarizing filters respectively; and determining that the liveness authentication is failed in the case that the set of light intensities satisfy a predetermined condition. In the case that the incident light is light emitted from a liquid crystal display screen, the incident light is the linear polarized light, and thus the liveness authentication is failed.
