  • Patent number: 12277171
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product are provided for training a neural network for finding queried videos. Two pairs of video clips and associated text are obtained from a first dataset and a second dataset. The first dataset is used to train two video encoders by providing the video clips to the encoders as input and providing the outputs to a cosine similarity calculator. The second dataset is used to train a multi-mentor paradigm with two mentors. A first mentor and a second mentor are each provided the pair of textual data inputs. The first mentor provides a similarity value comparison, and the second mentor provides a word mover distance. Using the output from the multi-mentor paradigm and the encoders, a contrastive loss is calculated and used to provide contrastive learning of video features by differentiating similarity and dissimilarity of the video clips.

  • Publication number: 20240249721
    Abstract: A machine learning (ML) computer model is trained on a dual-modal input sequence comprising target content data and an input user query specifying attributes for locating a portion within the target content data. The ML computer model is trained to process the dual-modal input sequence and output an output text specifying start and end indices, within the target content data, corresponding to the portion. Runtime content data, and a user spoken query, are received and the runtime content data and user spoken query are processed via the trained ML computer model to generate an output text specifying a predicted beginning index and predicted ending index within the runtime content data. The portion of the runtime content data corresponding to a range of runtime content data bounded by the beginning index and ending index, inclusively, is retrieved and stored for later retrieval and processing.

  • Patent number: 11292718
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a process for preparing sulfur from reduction of sulfate/nitrate by iron-carbon and recovering desulfurization/denitration agents. High-concentration SO2 flue gas produced by calcination of a sulfate and NOx produced by heating decomposition of a nitrate can be directly reduced to elemental sulfur vapor and N2 through reaction with an iron-carbon material at a high temperature. Then, after dust removal, cooling and fine dust removal, sulfur is recovered by a sulfur recovery device, and metal oxides can replace alkaline mineral resources such as limestone as raw materials of desulfurization (denitration) agents. This process can recycle the desulfurization and denitration agents.

  • Patent number: 11286162
    Abstract: A system and method for recovering sulfur in a copper smelting process includes removing fine dust from high-concentration SO2 flue gas from a matte smelting furnace, introducing the flue gas into a fluidized bed carbothermic reduction tower to be reduced by a carbon-based reducing agent to obtain reducing gas, passing the reducing gas through a high temperature separator to separate down unsaturated powder coke contained in the reducing gas, and condensing the reducing gas to obtain sulfur. The saturated powder coke entrained in the reducing gas enters a desorption tower to desorb SO2 gas therein, and the desorbed powder coke enters a fluidized bed sulfur reduction tower to continue to participate in the reduction reaction. Part of the SO2 gas discharged from the desorption tower is discharged to the fluidized bed carbothermic reduction tower to produce sulfur, and the other part enters a desulfurization tower.
