  • Patent number: 10089580
    Abstract: Functionality is described herein for generating a model on the basis of user-behavioral data and knowledge data. In one case, the user-behavioral data identifies queries submitted by users, together with selections made by the users in response to the queries. The knowledge data represents relationships among linguistic items, as expressed by one or more structured knowledge resources. The functionality leverages the knowledge data to supply information regarding semantic relationships which may not be adequately captured by the user-behavioral data, to thereby produce a more robust and accurate model (compared to a model produced on the basis of only user-behavioral data). Functionality is also described herein for applying the model, once trained. In one case, the model may correspond to a deep learning model.

  • Publication number: 20180060728
    Abstract: A deep embedding forest-based (DEF) model for improving on-line serving time for classification learning methods and other tasks such as, for example, predicting user selection of search results provided in response to a query or for image, speech or text recognition. Initially, a deep neural network (DNN) model is trained to determine parameters of an embedding layer, a stacking layer, deep layers and a scoring layer thereby reducing high dimensional features. After training the DNN model, the parameters of the deep layers and the scoring layer of the DNN model and discarded and the parameters of the embedding layer and the stacking layer are extracted. The extracted parameters from the DNN model then initialize parameters of an embedding layer and a stacking layer of the DEF model such that only a forest layer of the DEF model is then required to be trained. Output from the DEF model is stored in computer memory.

  • Patent number: 9240056
    Abstract: Videos are retargeted to a target display for viewing with little to no geometric distortion or video information loss. Salient regions of video frames may be determined using scale-space spatiotemporal information. Video information loss may be a result of spatial loss, due to cropping, and resolution loss, due to resizing. A desired cropping window may be determined using a coarse-to-fine searching strategy. Video frames may be cropped with a window that matches an aspect ratio of the target display, and resized isotropically to match a size of the target display.

  • Patent number: 9111287
    Abstract: Computer-readable media and computerized methods for utilizing an awareness of video content within a media file to incorporate an advertisement therein are provided. Building the video-content awareness involves performing an offline authoring process to generate a trajectory. In particular, the offline authoring process includes targeting an object appearing in the video content, tracking movement of the object over a sequence of frames within the media file, and, based on the tracked movement, writing locations of the object to the trajectory. In an online rendering process, invoked upon initiating play of the media file, the advertisement is automatically selected and dynamically placed on top of the video content as a function of the locations within the trajectory. Accordingly, by repositioning the advertisement (typically an animation) within the video content based on the movement of the object, an illusion that the advertisement visually interacts with the object is generated.
