  • Publication number: 20240129573
    Abstract: A processing system receives a user-generated media recording, and metadata associated with the user-generated feedback, from a first device. The user-generated media recording is a recording of the public end-user captured during a live media broadcast using a public-user interface on the first device. The metadata includes information linking the user-generated media recording to the live media broadcast. The system stores the user-generated media recording and the first metadata in one or more storage devices, and transmits a version of the user-generated media recording and at least a portion of the first metadata to a private-user interface on a second device. The private-user interface is configured to receive input from a private end-user selecting the version of the user-generated media recording for broadcast during the same live media broadcast during which the user-generated media recording was created.

  • Publication number: 20190130268
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for tensor radix point calculation in a neural network. A first tensor is obtained. A first set of weights is generated for the first tensor. An operation is evaluated to be performed by a layer within a deep neural network on the first tensor using the first set of weights. A set of output radix points is determined for the layer within the deep neural network based on the first tensor and the operation. An output tensor is calculated for the layer within the deep neural network using the set of output radix points, the first tensor, and the first set of weights. The operation is restarted, when the layer reports a hardware overflow, using an updated set of output radix points. The determining is further based on a radix point for the first tensor. The determining is further based on metadata for the first tensor.

  • Patent number: 9110676
    Abstract: The described embodiments present techniques for recovering from syntax errors. These techniques correct potential errors while preserving the shape of the parse tree, and the specific implementation of the techniques can be automatically generated from the grammar. These techniques may operate by looking back at states associated with previously-received tokens to determine pair matching status, when a synchronizing symbol is received. The techniques can respond to the pair matching status determination by potentially adding a synthesized token or by deleting a token that has already been received. The techniques may use a structure referred to herein as a tuple to assist with the evaluation of the pair matching status. Some of the techniques utilize indentation information to evaluate the pair matching status, while other techniques ignore such information. The described embodiments also include a technique for automatically generating the tuples from a set of grammar rules associated with the parser.
