  • Patent number: 12126828
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of decoding video data in multiple resolution formats includes receiving an encoded video stream including a salient data and a non-salient data, the salient data having a higher resolution format than the non-salient data. The video stream is decoded into the non-salient data in a lower-resolution format and the salient data in the higher-resolution format. The non-salient data is reconstructed to a higher resolution format. The salient data and the reconstructed non-salient data are combined to form a video stream in the higher-resolution format of the salient data.

  • Patent number: 11751800
    Abstract: A method, a computer program product, and a computer system determine abnormal motion from a patient. The method includes receiving sensory data of the patient and a location in which the patient is present. The sensory data includes video data over a period of time the patient is being monitored. The method includes generating contextual information based on the sensory data. The contextual information is indicative of surroundings of the patient and characteristics of the location. The method includes generating motion information based on the sensory data. The motion information is indicative of movement of the patient in the location. The method includes generating contextual motion data by incorporating the contextual information with the motion information. The method includes determining the abnormal motion based on the contextual motion data.

Generating the first 2D grid comprises mapping segments of the time-series data to respective positions of the first 2D grid, and generating, for each position, a spike train corresponding to the respective mapped segment. The method further comprises generating a second 2D grid including performing, for each position, a mathematical operation on the spike train of the corresponding position of the first 2D grid. The method further comprises generating a third 2D grid including performing spatial filtering on the positions of the second 2D grid. The method further comprises generating a 3D grid based on a combination of the first 2D grid, the second 2D grid, and the third 2D grid. The 3D grid comprises one or more 3D spikes.

  • Publication number: 20220101184
    Abstract: A machine learning model can be optimized for deployment on a device based on hardware specifications of the device. An existing model is acquired and pruned to reduce hardware resource consumption of the model. The pruned model is then trained based on training data. The pruned model is also trained based on a collection of “teacher” models. Performance of the trained model is then evaluated and compared to performance requirements, which can be based on the hardware specifications of a device.

  • Publication number: 20220101185
    Abstract: A machine learning model can be updated based on collected data (i.e., initially unlabeled data). The unlabeled data can be labeled based on comparisons to labeled data. The newly labeled data, referred to as “weak labeled data” (as it was labeled without direct input of a professional) can then be used as training data in order to retrain the machine learning model.
