Abstract: A computer system can automatically analyze a video of a physical activity and provide corresponding feedback. For example, the system can receive a video file including image frames showing an entity performing a physical activity that involves a sequence of movement phases. The system can generate coordinate sets by performing image analysis on the image frames. The system can provide the coordinate sets as input to a trained model, the trained model being configured to assign scores and movement phases to the image frames based on the coordinate sets. The system can then select a particular movement phase for which to provide feedback, based on the scores and movement phases assigned to the image frames. The system can generate the feedback for the entity about their performance of the particular movement phase, which may improve the entity's future performance of that particular movement phase.

Abstract: One example described herein involves a system receiving task data and distribution criteria for a state space model from a client device. The task data can indicate a type of sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) task to be implemented. The distribution criteria can include an initial distribution, a transition distribution, and a measurement distribution for the state space model. The system can generate a set of program functions based on the task data and the distribution criteria. The system can then execute an SMC module to generate a distribution and a corresponding summary, where the SMC module is configured to call the set of program functions during execution of an SMC process and apply the results returned from the set of program functions in one or more subsequent steps of the SMC process. The system can then transmit an electronic communication to the client device indicating the distribution and its corresponding summary.

Abstract: A computing device learns a directed acyclic graph (DAG). An SSCP matrix is computed from variable values defined for observation vectors. A topological order vector is initialized that defines a topological order for the variables. A loss value is computed using the topological order vector and the SSCP matrix. (A) A neighbor determination method is selected. (B) A next topological order vector is determined relative to the initialized topological order vector using the neighbor determination method. (C) A loss value is computed using the next topological order vector and the SSCP matrix. (D) (B) and (C) are repeated until each topological order vector is determined in (B) based on the neighbor determination method. A best topological vector is determined from each next topological order vector based on having a minimum value for the computed loss value. An adjacency matrix is computed using the best topological vector and the SSCP matrix.

Abstract: A treatment model that is a first neural network is trained to optimize a treatment loss function based on a treatment variable t using a plurality of observation vectors by regressing t on x(1),z. The trained treatment model is executed to compute an estimated treatment variable value {circumflex over (t)}i for each observation vector. An outcome model that is a second neural network is trained to optimize an outcome loss function by regressing y on x(2) and an estimated treatment variable t. The trained outcome model is executed to compute an estimated first unknown function value {circumflex over (?)}(xi(2)) and an estimated second unknown function value {circumflex over (?)}(xi(2)) for each observation vector. An influence function value is computed for a parameter of interest using {circumflex over (?)}(xi(2)) and {circumflex over (?)}(xi(2)). A value is computed for the predefined parameter of interest using the computed influence function value.

Abstract: A computing device selects a trained spatial regression model. A spatial weights matrix defined for observation vectors is selected, where each element of the spatial weights matrix indicates an amount of influence between respective pairs of observation vectors. Each observation vector is spatially referenced. A spatial regression model is selected from spatial regression models, initialized, and trained using the observation vectors and the spatial weights matrix to fit a response variable using regressor variables. Each observation vector includes a response value for the response variable and a regressor value for each regressor variable of the regressor variables. A fit criterion value is computed for the spatial regression model and the spatial regression model selection, initialization, and training are repeated until each spatial regression model is selected. A best spatial regression model is selected and output as the spatial regression model having an extremum value of the fit criterion value.

Abstract: Computing resources consumed in performing computerized sequence-mining can be reduced by implementing some examples of the present disclosure. In one example, a system can determine weights for data entries in a data set and then select a group of data entries from the data set based on the weights. Next, the system can determine a group of k-length sequences present in the selected group of data entries by applying a shuffling algorithm. The system can then determine frequencies corresponding to the group of k-length sequences and select candidate sequences from among the group of k-length sequences based on the frequencies thereof. Next, the system can determine support values corresponding to the candidate sequences and then select output sequences from among the candidate sequences based on the support values thereof. The system may then transmit an output signal indicating the selected output sequences an electronic device.
