Abstract: The present disclosure is related to listen-before-talk (LBT) operations for multiple consecutive physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmissions scheduled by a single downlink control information (DCI) or multiple DCIs. In a fifth generation (5G)/new radio (NR) system operating in an unlicensed spectrum, when multiple physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmissions are scheduled (e.g., by one or more DCIs), and if LBT operation has failed before the start of a first PUSCH transmission of the multiple PUSCH transmissions, an LBT type and cyclic prefix (CP) extension for a subsequent PUSCH transmission of the multiple PUSCH transmissions is determined. In some examples, the multiple PUSCH transmissions are consecutive PUSCH transmission. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: This application relates to video encoding and decoding, and specifically to tools and techniques for using and providing supplemental enhancement information in bitstreams. Among other things, the detailed description presents innovations for bitstreams having supplemental enhancement information (SEI). In particular embodiments, the SEI message includes picture source data (e.g., data indicating whether the associated picture is a progressive scan picture or an interlaced scan picture and/or data indicating whether the associated picture is a duplicate picture).

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a universal item learning framework that generates universal item embeddings for zero-shot items. Specifically, the universal item learning framework performs generic features extraction of items and product knowledge characterization based on a product knowledge graph (PKG) to generate embeddings of input items. A pretrained language model (PLM) may be adopted to extract features from generic item side information, such as titles, descriptions, etc., of an item. A PKG may be constructed to represent recommendation-oriented knowledge, which comprise a plurality of nodes representing items and a plurality of edges connecting nodes represent different relations between items. As those relations in PKG are usually retrieved from user-item interactions, the PKG adapts the universal representation for recommendation with knowledge of user-item interactions.
