  • Publication number: 20240376414
    Abstract: An organic-waste-recycling apparatus for fast formation of compost includes a processing barrel, a grinding device, a control device, a stirring device, and a guiding device. The processing barrel has a first feeding port and a second feeding port, a mixing room, and an output. To-be-processed objects are fed into the mixing room through the first feeding port or the second feeding port. The grinding device is between the first feeding port and the mixing room. The control device adjusts the temperature and the humidity in the mixing room. The stirring device rolls and blends the to-be-processed objects in the mixing room so that the to-be-processed objects are heated evenly. The guiding device guides the water vapor generated in the mixing room back to the mixing room. The apparatus decomposes and turns organic waste into organic carbon fertilizer that has economic value in an effective and efficient way.

  • Patent number: 12136155
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method to disentangle linear-encoded facial semantics from facial images without external supervision. The method uses linear regression and sparse representation learning concepts to make the disentangled latent representations easily interpreted and manipulated. Generated facial images are decomposed into multiple semantic features and latent representations are extracted to capture interpretable facial semantics. The semantic features may be manipulated to synthesize photorealistic facial images by sampling along vectors representing the semantic features, thereby changing the associate semantics.

  • Publication number: 20240320964
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for data augmentation for general object recognition which preserves the class identity of the augmented data. The system comprises an image recognition network an image generation network that take as input ground truth images and classes respectively and which generates a predicted class and an augmented image. A discriminator evaluates the predicted class and augmented image and provides feedback to the image recognition network and the image generation network.

  • Publication number: 20240233095
    Abstract: Disclosed here are various techniques for improving the testing and training of datasets comprising sequences of skeletal representations performing various actions. The dataset can be denoised by applying various techniques to determine noisy frames within each sequence and eliminating the sequences from the dataset when the number of noisy frames in the sequence is too large. In addition, the dataset may be augmented by various data augmentation techniques to manipulate the skeletal representations, after denoising.
