  • Publication number: 20240330798
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for determining machine learning model retraining. The method comprises merging predicted task time durations and task history data, where the predicted task time durations are based on a machine learning model, calculating a duration for each of the completed tasks, calculating error metrics based on the duration of each of the completed tasks and a corresponding predicted task time duration for each of the completed tasks, averaging the error metrics over a period of time and storing the averaged error metrics as error metric data, determining whether the averaged error metrics exceed a threshold, in response to determining that the threshold has not been exceeded, continuing use of the machine learning model to predict task time durations, and in response to determining that the threshold has been exceeded, retraining the machine learning model via a model training loop.

  • Publication number: 20240289850
    Abstract: In a method of determining and sharing proximity of device users within an environment of an observation platform, the observation platform determines that a first communication device associated with a first user is in the environment of the observation platform. The observation platform detects that the first communication device is in proximity to a second communication device associated with a second user. Responsive to the detection, the observation platform generates proximity information for the first user and the second user. The observation platform relays the proximity information to a second observation platform via a computer network, wherein a second environment of the second observation platform is separate from the environment of the observation platform.

  • Patent number: 12048410
    Abstract: A surface cleaning head with dual rotating agitators (e.g., a leading roller and a brush roll) may be used to facilitate capturing of debris in the air flow into a suction conduit on the underside of the surface cleaning head. The leading roller is generally positioned adjacent to and in advance of the opening of the suction conduit. The rotating brush roll may be located in the suction conduit with the leading roller located in front of and spaced from the brush roll, forming an inter-roller air passageway therebetween. The leading roller may provide a softer cleaning element than the brush roll and may also have an outside diameter that is less than the outside diameter of the brush roll. The surface cleaning head may also include debriding protrusions contacting the leading roller and/or a leading bumper that extends in front of the leading roller.

  • Publication number: 20240249478
    Abstract: A method implemented by a computing device includes rendering on displays of a computing device an extended reality (XR) environment, and determining a context of the XR environment with respect to a user. Determining the context includes determining characteristics associated with an eye of the user with respect to content displayed. The method includes generating, based on the characteristics associated with the eye, a foveated map including a plurality of foveal regions. The plurality of foveal regions includes a plurality of zones each corresponding to a low-resolution area of the content for the respective zone. The method includes inputting one or more of the plurality of zones into a machine-learning model trained to generate a super-resolution reconstruction of the foveated map based on regions of interest identified within the one or more of the plurality of zones, and outputting, by the machine-learning model, the super-resolution reconstruction of the foveated map.

  • Publication number: 20240251025
    Abstract: In a method of query derivation in an observation platform a signal from a first communication device is received at a second communication device that is associated with a computer system. The computer system is associated with an organization and a first characteristic of the signal corresponds to an audible source. The signal is parsed, by the computer system according to a policy, to determine metadata associated with the signal, wherein the first communication device is operated by a user and wherein the policy dictates rules for use of the metadata. The computer system determines a prior user history of the user. The computer system converts the audible source of the signal to text or machine understandable language. The computer system derives a query related to the organization based on at least one of the prior user history, the metadata, and the text or machine understandable language.
