  • Patent number: 11978245
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and apparatus for generating an image. A specific embodiment of the method comprises: acquiring at least two frames of facial images extracted from a target video; and inputting the at least two frames of facial images into a pre-trained generative model to generate a single facial image. The generative model updates a model parameter using a loss function in a training process, and the loss function is determined based on a probability of the single facial generative image being a real facial image and a similarity between the single facial generative image and a standard facial image. According to this embodiment, authenticity of the single facial image generated by the generative model may be enhanced, and then a quality of a facial image obtained based on the video is improved.

  • Patent number: 11977523
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to facilitating performing data extraction via efficient extraction rule matching. Generally, an extraction rule can be determined to match an event based on a two-step process. In particular, initially, a determination that a set of fixed substrings associated with the extraction rule matches fixed substrings of the event can be made. Based on fixed substring match, a determination can be made that a set of fields associated with the extraction rule matches fields of the event. In such a case, the extraction rule can be deemed to match the event and used to extract values from the event.

  • Patent number: 11979436
    Abstract: A communication method comprises that if a policy control device does not support setup of an Internet Protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem (IMS) default bearer during setup of an IMS default bearer for a terminal, the control plane gateway sends second indication information to a user plane gateway, where the second indication information indicates the control plane gateway bypasses the policy control device. When the user plane gateway receives an IMS session request from the terminal and determines that the control plane gateway bypasses the policy control device, the user plane gateway sends first indication information to the control plane gateway, and the first indication information indicates the control plane gateway to send, to the policy control device, a first request to request to establish a mapping relationship between the terminal and the control plane gateway such that an IMS session can be set up between terminals.

  • Patent number: 11978445
    Abstract: Dialog acts (e.g., questions) are selected for voice browsing by a model trained to identify a dialog act that is most likely to lead to a desired outcome. Upon receiving an invocation to begin a conversation, a score indicative of a level of confidence that the conversation will have a successful outcome is determined, and a dialog act is selected based on the score. Subsequently, at each turn of the conversation, the score is updated or a new score is calculated, and a dialog act is selected based on the updated or new score. Confidence scores are calculated based on input features that are determined based on the user who uttered the invocation or responses to dialog acts, as well as a context of the conversation, and provided to a linear model or a machine learning model as inputs.
