  • Publication number: 20200226661
    Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for encoding textual data for personalized recommendations using at least one encoder. An inventory catalog management system receives both the description data of inventory items and the human characteristic data from customers, and trains encoders to generate feature representations that capture degrees to which human characteristics have affinities to an inventory item. For example, the feature representation for a vegetarian customer and a chicken salad indicates a low affinity for the protein aspect of the chicken salad because the customer prefers vegetables. The system, using the generated feature representations, may partition products into categories based on the similarity measure of the products and recommend appropriate products to improve personalized recommendations.

  • Publication number: 20200196424
    Abstract: The lighting apparatus includes a driver circuit and a lighting system. The driver circuit includes a signal receiver module, a signal processing module and a signal execution module. The signal receiver module is configured to receive a parameter signal of a coding device. The signal processing module is connected to the signal receiver module. The signal processing module is configured to convert the parameter signal into a PWM signal. The signal execution module is connected to the signal processing module. The signal execution module is also configured to convert an alternating current input power source into a direct current power source. The direct current power source is filtered based on the PWM signal. In this way, the filtered direct current power source matches a required power source of the lighting apparatus. The lighting apparatus solves low inapplicability and compatibility that occurs in the driver circuit of the convention art.

  • Patent number: 10579063
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for predicting the future locations of objects that are perceived by autonomous vehicles. An autonomous vehicle can include a prediction system that, for each object perceived by the autonomous vehicle, generates one or more potential goals, selects one or more of the potential goals, and develops one or more trajectories by which the object can achieve the one or more selected goals. The prediction systems and methods described herein can include or leverage one or more machine-learned models that assist in predicting the future locations of the objects. As an example, in some implementations, the prediction system can include a machine-learned static object classifier, a machine-learned goal scoring model, a machine-learned trajectory development model, a machine-learned ballistic quality classifier, and/or other machine-learned models. The use of machine-learned models can improve the speed, quality, and/or accuracy of the generated predictions.

  • Patent number: 10547681
    Abstract: Encoding a file into a plurality of chunks, wherein a subset of the plurality of chunks may be used to create a functional equivalent of the file. At least one additional chunk is created from the plurality of chunks. The at least one additional chunk is directed to be stored in a cache memory and the plurality of chunks are directed to be stored on at least one storage node. Upon demand for the file, at least one additional chunk is cased to be retrieved from the cache and at least a portion of the plurality of chunks are caused to be retrieved from the at least one storage node and the functional equivalent of the file is constructed through utilization of the at least one additional chunk and the portion of the plurality of chunks.
