  • Publication number: 20210326538
    Abstract: A method for text translation includes obtaining a text to be translated; and inputting the text to be translated into a text translation model. The trained text translation model divides the text to be translated into a plurality of semantic units, determines N semantic units before a current semantic unit among the plurality of semantic units as local context semantic units, determines M semantic units before the local context semantic units as global context semantic units, and generates a translation result of the current semantic unit based on the local context semantic units and the global context semantic units. N is an integer, and M is an integer.

  • Publication number: 20210295707
    Abstract: A network computer system receives request data from computing devices of requesting users in a sub-region of a service area. The system further receives location data from computing devices of drivers operating in the sub-region. Based on the request data and the location data, the system determines a service condition for the sub-region. Based on the service condition indicating that the sub-region is in a driver oversupply state, the system transmits a service instruction to computing devices of a plurality of drivers within the sub-region, the service instruction being associated with a target outside the sub-region and a set of progress conditions. The system then periodically determines, for each driver of the plurality of drivers, an estimated time of arrival (ETA) to the target from a current position of the driver to determine whether the driver is satisfying the set of progress conditions of the service instruction.

  • Publication number: 20210284199
    Abstract: A system to enable an automobile vehicle automated driving control includes a quality index of an automated driving control system prior to enablement of an automated driving control function of an automobile vehicle. An adaptive forward propagation horizon and a prediction horizon for assessment of the quality index are computed. Vehicle states and road geometry are propagated over the adaptive forward propagation horizon, and the quality index is assessed based on forward propagated states over the prediction horizon. A first signal permits actuation of the automated driving control function of the automobile vehicle and a second signal precludes actuation of the automated driving control function. One of the first signal or the second signal is elected based on the results of assessing a quality control index trajectory over the adaptive forward propagation horizon.

  • Patent number: 11082529
    Abstract: Service providers can be identified to fulfill service requests of a network-based service. A network system is configured to generate, based on historical data associated with the network-based service, a machine-learned service provider optimization (MLSPO) model for generating service provider optimizations. The optimizations can include action recommendations that optimize one or more service metrics. The MLSPO model can be a reinforcement learning model generated by performing a plurality of simulations utilizing one or more virtual agents. A provider device of a service provider can transmit a set of data to the network system that indicates a current location of the service provider. Based on the current location and the MLSPO model, the network system can generate service provider optimizations. Optimization data can be transmitted to the provider device so that the provider device can display information corresponding to the service provider optimizations.
