Abstract: In various examples, determining point bounding shapes for systems and applications is described herein. Systems and methods are disclosed that determine a bounding shape (e.g., a minimum-area bounding rectangle) for an object and/or a point set associated with the object. In some examples, to determine the bounding shape, the systems and methods may rotate points from the point set to include various orientations. The systems and methods may then determine a respective bounding shape for one or more (e.g., each) orientation of the points and use the bounding shapes to determine a final bounding shape for the points. For example, the bounding shape that is associated with the smallest area may be selected for the points. The bounding shape may then be rotated by an angle in order to determine a final bounding shape for the object.

Abstract: Implementations relate to improving instruction following capabilities of large language models (LLMs) using instruction decomposition, self-evaluation, and optionally progressive refinement. Processor(s) of a system can: obtain natural language (NL) based input, generate a plurality of candidate responses and evaluate the candidate responses based on instructions included in the NL based input, using an LLM, and progressively refine the candidate responses until it is determined that one or more termination criteria are satisfied.

In these implementations, a given candidate response that is progressively refined can be rendered for presentation at the client device and responsive to the NL base input. In additional or alternative implementations, the NL based input can be obtained from database(s). In these implementations, a given candidate response that is progressively refined can be utilized in fine-tuning of the LLM.

Abstract: A method for decoding a video from a video bitstream encoded using a video encoder, a system for decoding a video bitstream, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium are provided. A syntax element indicating a use of a neural-network-based coding tool during encoding a portion of the video bitstream is identified from the video bitstream. A value of the syntax element is determined. If the value of the syntax element indicates the neural-network-based coding tool is enabled during the encoding of the portion of the video bitstream, the portion of the video bitstream is decoded into pictures by using the neural-network-based coding tool. If the value of the syntax element indicates the neural-network-based coding tool is disabled during the encoding of the portion of the video bitstream, the portion of the video bitstream into pictures is decoded without using the neural-network-based coding tool. The decoded pictures are outputted for display.

Abstract: A control circuit and method for an isolated switching-mode converter are disclosed. The control circuit includes a primary-side controller and a secondary-side controller. The primary-side controller can enter a sleep mode in response to a first request signal, and the primary-side controller can turn on or off a first switch in the primary-side circuit in a predefined manner to cause a secondary-side winding in a transformer to generate a predefined first output signal. The secondary-side controller can detect the first output signal and responsively enter the sleep mode. In this way, both the primary-side and secondary-side controllers can enter the sleep mode, thus significantly reducing standby power dissipation of the system.
