Abstract: Embodiments disclosed provide a solution to detect a rally in a sports game. One or more stroke actions or non-stroke actions are detected based on motion data detected by a sensor attached to a sports instrument of a user. Using a trained stroke classification model, each detected stroke action is classified into a plurality of classes. Additionally, a determination is made whether each detected non-stroke action is an intentional special user action. The determination whether a non-stroke action is an intentional special user action is made based on a customized set of definitions defining one or more special user actions. One or more rallies are then detected based on the classified stroke actions and intentional special user actions.

Abstract: A solution is provided for detecting in real time video highlights in a sports video at a mobile computing device. A highlight detection module of the mobile computing device extracts visual features from each video frame of the sports video using a trained feature model and detects a highlight in the video frame based on the extracted visual features of the video frame using a trained detection model. The feature model and detection model are trained with a convolutional neural network on a large corpus of videos to generate category level and pair-wise frame feature vectors. Based on the detection, the highlight detection module generates a highlight score for each video frame of the sports video and presents the highlight scores to users of the computing device. The feature model and detection model are dynamically updated based on the real time highlight detection data collected by the mobile computing device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to concrete admixtures, provide a phosphonato block polymer, a preparation method and an application. The method includes: the phosphonato block polymer prepared by copolycondensating an ether-type segment A, a phosphonato segment B, and a third part of aldehyde C. The ether-type segment A is obtained by polycondensating a polyether monomer and a first part of aldehyde C. The phosphonato segment B is obtained by polycondensating a monomer b containing phosphonato, a monomer c, and a second part of aldehyde C in an aprotic weak polar solvent E. By preparing a block polymer using arylalkane as a main chain and using a phosphonic acid or phosphinic acid functional group as an adsorption group, the invention improves the resistance of the block polymer to sulfate and clay interference, and can achieve initial high dispersion of concrete with a low water-cement ratio and decreasing of the system viscosity.
