  • Patent number: 12112417
    Abstract: This application discloses an artificial intelligence (AI) based animation character drive method. A first expression base of a first animation character corresponding to a speaker is determined by acquiring media data including a facial expression change when the speaker says a speech, and the first expression base may reflect different expressions of the first animation character. After target text information is obtained, an acoustic feature and a target expression parameter corresponding to the target text information are determined according to the target text information, the foregoing acquired media data, and the first expression base. A second animation character having a second expression base may be driven according to the acoustic feature and the target expression parameter, so that the second animation character may simulate the speaker's sound and facial expression when saying the target text information, thereby improving experience of interaction between the user and the animation character.

  • Patent number: 11734558
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to improving machine learning classification using both labeled and unlabeled data, including electronic transactions. A computing system may train a machine learning module using a first set of transactions (of any classifiable data) with label information that indicates designated classifications for those transactions and a second set of transactions without label information. This can allow for improved classification error rates, particularly when additional labeled data may not be present (e.g., if a transaction was disallowed, it may not be later labeled as fraudulent or not). The training process may include generating first error data based on classification results for the first set of transactions, generating second error data based on reconstruction results for both the first and second sets of transactions, and updating the machine learning module based on the first and second error data.

The computer system generates respective user sequence models for the users using information representing the individual interactions. The computer system analyzes the respective user sequence models using a recurrent neural network with an attention mechanism, which produces respective vectors corresponding to the user sequence models. Individual values in the vectors represent respective individual interactions by a given user and correspond to an amount of correlation between the respective individual interactions and the sorting of the given user into the first group or the second group. The computer system identifies a particular type of interaction that is correlated to users being sorted into the first group by analyzing the respective vectors.
