Abstract: A method for promoting compliance with an oral hygiene regimen includes displaying, on a display device, a representation of at least a portion of a set of teeth of a user. The method also includes overlaying an indicium on the representation such that the indicium is associated with a first section of the representation. Responsive to a determination, via at least one of one or more processors, that a head of an oral hygiene device is positioned directly adjacent to a first section of the set of teeth that corresponds to the first section of the representation for at least a predetermined amount of time, the indicium is removed from the display device.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to improvements to neural networks for translation and other sequence-to-sequence tasks. A convolutional neural network may include multiple blocks, each having a convolution layer and gated linear units; gating may determine what information passes through to the next block level. Residual connections, which add the input of a block back to its output, may be applied around each block. Further, an attention may be applied to determine which word is most relevant to translate next. By applying repeated passes of the attention to multiple layers of the decoder, the decoder is able to work on the entire structure of a sentence at once (with no temporal dependency). In addition to better accuracy, this configuration is better at capturing long-range dependencies, better models the hierarchical syntax structure of a sentence, and is highly parallelizable and thus faster to run on hardware.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine one or more chunks for a content item to be captioned. Each chunk can include one or more terms that describe at least a portion of the subject matter captured in the content item. One or more sentiments are determined based on the subject matter captured in the content item. One or more emotions are determined for the content item. At least one emoted caption is generated for the content item based at least in part on the one or more chunks, sentiments, and emotions. The emoted caption can include at least one term that conveys an emotion represented by the subject matter captured in the content item.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can train a sequence model to output respective captions, or portions of captions, for content items. A determination can be made that a user of the social networking system is posting a content item for publication through a social networking system. A set of captions, or portions of captions, can be determined for the content item being posted based at least in part on the sequence model. The set of captions, or portions of captions, can be provided as suggestions to the user for use in a caption describing the content item being posted.

Abstract: A taxiing system for an aircraft including an undercarriage having a wheel, includes an electric motor associated with the wheel, an electric controller of the electric motor, connected to an output of an electrical power supply, and a taxiing control computer configured to determine control instructions for the electric motor and to transmit these instructions to the electric controller.

Abstract: Method for testing a pipe for carrying hydrocarbons. The pipe has at least one internal sealing sheath made of polymer material, incorporating elements of reactive compound capable of reacting with corrosive gases contained in the hydrocarbons which diffuse radially through the sheath. The reaction forms a first layer, extending radially from the internal surface, in which the elements of reactive compound have reacted with the gases. A second layer, extends between the first layer and the external surface, in which the elements of reactive compound have not yet reacted with the gases. The method uses ultrasound to determine the position of an interface between the first and second layers to measure the progression of the diffusion of the gases through the sheath.

Abstract: One or more aspects of the subject disclosure are directed towards performing a semantic parsing task, such as classifying text corresponding to a spoken utterance into a class. Feature data representative of input data is provided to a semantic parsing mechanism that uses a deep model trained at least in part via unsupervised learning using unlabeled data. For example, if used in a classification task, a classifier may use an associated deep neural network that is trained to have an embeddings layer corresponding to at least one of words, phrases, or sentences. The layers are learned from unlabeled data, such as query click log data.
