  • Patent number: 11500652
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and system for application loading, the method comprising: receiving from the client a method tag request triggered on the basis of the tagging method of the application; retrieving the method tag in a method tag index store; obtaining, in response to the method tag being retrieved, a method content body corresponding to the method tag; and sending the method content body to the client. The present invention reduces the number of redundant codes to be loaded, thereby accelerating the application loading time.

  • Patent number: 10747833
    Abstract: A network crawler crawls one or more media sites to extract a plurality of titles for information contained in the one or more media sites. For example, the network crawler may extract the titles on the one or more media sites by identifying different computer formats and converting the titles in the different computer formats into a common computer format for comparison. User profiles which, includes user's interest are stored in a user profile interest database. A novel personalized news recommendation engine recommends news similar to the interest specified in a user profile, where maximum weighted matching is applied to score the similarity of news against user interest in the word2vec space.

  • Publication number: 20190107406
    Abstract: Systems of an electrical vehicle and the operations thereof are provided. Electric vehicles may be routed from a start location to a destination through a network of charging stations explicitly considering time-varying uncertainty in both charging times, queueing times, and range. The routing objective may be a function of trip duration, electric vehicle state of charge at any time or location along the trip, uncertainty in the vehicle state of charge, the estimated trip duration, etc. Uncertainty in a distribution may be computed using an information-theoretic metric such as entropy. Waiting times may be estimated at an electric vehicle charging station given observed data for that station. An estimated waiting time at a charging station can be communicated directly to the owner of an electric vehicle owner or used to design a robust system for routing through charging stations.

  • Publication number: 20180276540
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for detecting and cataloging qualities in music. While both the data volume and heterogeneity of the digital music content is huge, it has become increasingly important and convenient to build a recommendation or search system to facilitate surfacing these content to the user or consumer community. Embodiments use deep convolutional neural network to imitate how human brain processes hierarchical structures in the auditory signals, such as music, speech, etc., at various timescales. This approach can be used to discover the latent factor models of the music based upon acoustic hyper-images that are extracted from the raw audio waves of music. These latent embeddings can be used either as features to feed to subsequent models, such as collaborative filtering, or to build similarity metrics between songs, or to classify music based on the labels for training such as genre, mood, sentiment, etc.

  • Publication number: 20170188750
    Abstract: The cooking device of the present disclosure has a housing and a cooking surface mounted in the housing. A plurality of lids is removably coupled to the housing. Each lid is pivotable between an open position and a closed position. The lids are elevated above the cooking surface when the lids are in the open position and contact the cooking surface when the lids are in the closed position. The lids capture steam and smoke released during cooking of the food product to add flavor and moisture to the food product.
