Abstract: An embodiment includes parsing geographical data into a path graph having a plurality of nodes and edges, and identifying first and second subsets of the nodes as source nodes and destination nodes, respectively. The embodiment generates path data for a candidate delivery route from a source node to a destination node and along an edge between the source and destination nodes. The embodiment processes the path data using first and second evaluation techniques based on respective metrics. The embodiment compares evaluation values from the evaluation techniques to evaluation values associated with another candidate delivery route, and selects the candidate delivery route as a finalized delivery route based on the comparison results. The embodiment then generates a route plan that includes the finalized delivery route.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for compressing data, and more particularly, to large-scale text data encoding and compression using absolute overfitting on pre-trained language models. Large-scale data is parsed into sentences. A unique token is generated for each sentence to form a token list. A generative (or compression) model is trained from the tokens in the token list to produce the corresponding sentence of each token through absolute overfitting of a pre-trained language model. The compressed text data is stored as the token list and generative model, resulting in a storage space savings.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for generating an augmented reality representation of a real-world environment. An augmented reality (AR) system receives a captured digital image of the real-world environment and generates an initial estimate of a candidate point specifying an estimated location of an annotation point of a virtual object model within the captured digital image of the real-world environment. An accuracy of the initial estimate is calculated based on a function of characteristics of the annotation point and a function of characteristics of the candidate point and, in response to the evaluation of accuracy indicating that the initial estimate is not accurate, an annotation point location refinement operation is performed to generate a refined candidate point for aligning the annotation point with the captured digital image of the real-world environment. An AR representation of the real-world environment is generated based on the refined candidate point.
