  • Patent number: 11557025
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a training application generates a perceptual video model. The training application computes a first feature value for a first feature included in a feature vector based on a first color component associated with a first reconstructed training video. The training application also computes a second feature value for a second feature included in the feature vector based on a first brightness component associated with the first reconstructed training video. Subsequently, the training application performs one or more machine learning operations based on the first feature value, the second feature value, and a first subjective quality score for the first reconstructed training video to generate a trained perceptual quality model.

  • Patent number: 11551556
    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: 20220416097
    Abstract: A photodetector structure over a partial length of a silicon waveguide structure within a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) chip. The photodetector structure is embedded within a cladding material surrounding the waveguide structure. The photodetector structure includes an absorption region, for example comprising Ge. A sidewall of the cladding material may be lined with a sacrificial spacer. After forming the absorption region, the sacrificial spacer may be removed and passivation material formed over a sidewall of the absorption region. Between the absorption region an impurity-doped portion of the waveguide structure there may be a carrier multiplication region, for example comprising crystalline silicon. If present, edge facets of the carrier multiplication region may be protected by a spacer material during the formation of an impurity-doped charge carrier layer. Occurrence of edge facets may be mitigated by embedding a portion of the photodetector structure with a thickness of the waveguide structure.

  • Patent number: 11522935
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a hindsight application computes a total download size for a sequence of encoded chunks associated with a media title for evaluation of at least one aspect of a video streaming service. The hindsight application computes a feasible download end time associated with a source chunk of the media title based on a network throughput trace and a subsequent feasible download end time associated with a subsequent source chunk of the media title. The hindsight application then selects an encoded chunk associated with the source chunk based on the network throughput trace, the feasible download end time, and a preceding download end time associated with a preceding source chunk of the media title. Subsequently, the hindsight application computes the total download size based on the number of encoded bits included in the first encoded chunk.
