  • Publication number: 20240104305
    Abstract: A generative recommender method and system applies trained neural networks to infer related concepts with respect to segments of temporally sequenced content that are inferred to be of particular interest to users. The inferred related concepts of interest may be embodied, for example, in the form vectorized embeddings of natural language and/or images. The embodied inferred related concepts of interest are then input into a generative process that applies trained neural networks to execute one or more vector embedding-based steps that result in generated content elements such as video that are based upon the related concepts of interest.

  • Patent number: 11935342
    Abstract: Activation of an automatic driving feature in a vehicle is detected by evaluating sequential vehicle operation data against subtractive and additive heuristic rules that define a likelihood of an automatic driving feature having been engaged as a function of vehicle performance. The sequential vehicle operation data, which does not include an explicit indication of whether the automatic driving feature was engaged, is provided for time intervals of a trip made by the vehicle. Automatic driving information is generated, which provides an indication of whether the automatic driving feature was engaged during a subset of the time intervals.
