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.

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.

Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for syllable-based pronunciation help are provided. An input text in a first language may be received. A selection of a target language that is different from the first language may be received. From the target language, syllables with a pronunciation most closely matching a pronunciation of the input text in the first language are obtained. The obtaining is based on a comparison of one or more spectrograms for the input text with one or more spectrograms for text of the target language. The obtained syllables in the target language are presented.

Abstract: Systems and methods enable machine learning (ML) feature prioritization to reduce image noise in a virtual environment. In embodiments, a method includes providing a device access to a virtual environment via a graphical user interface (GUI), the environment including images of objects and a navigation tool enabling a user to navigate the environment and interact with the images; monitoring interaction data of the user; calculating priority values for predefined areas of a first object in the environment, using an ML model trained with historic user interaction data and object data; processing image data of one or more of the predefined areas of the first object using image processing to generate new data based on display specifications of the client device and the priority values; and pre-loading the new data in a buffer, such that the new data is available prior to display of the new data to the user.
