  • Publication number: 20250193423
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for decoding visual content using a hybrid framework based on convolutional and neural radiance networks. A decoder receives bitstreams of model parameters, a sequence level representation, and a cross-resolution representation for reconstructing a sequence of frames. The model parameters comprise neural radiance network parameters. The decoder decodes the bitstreams of the model parameters, the sequence level representation, and the cross-resolution representation. The decoder generates, via a channel transformer, a combined representation based on the sequence level representation and the cross-resolution representation. The decoder adapts a neural network model based on the neural radiance network parameters. The decoder reconstructs the sequence of frames by determining, via the adapted neural network model based on the combined representation, pixel attribute information for each frame of the reconstructed sequence of frames.

  • Publication number: 20250190400
    Abstract: A system for recovering information lost during genomic data compression employs a quality-driven approach using neural networks. The system evaluates the importance of genomic regions through a quality analysis engine that assigns quality scores, while a rate control engine determines optimal compression rates based on these scores. A specialized neural network recovers lost information from correlated genomic datasets that have undergone lossy compression, utilizing recurrent layers for feature extraction and a channel-wise transformer with attention to capture complex relationships between data channels. The neural network architecture incorporates a deblocking network that combines these components to effectively reconstruct compressed data. A decoder receives and decompresses the data, then processes it through the neural network to recover information lost during compression. This adaptive system ensures critical genomic information is preserved while maximizing compression efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20250192800
    Abstract: For compressing data, preprocessing operations are performed on raw input data. A discrete cosine transform is performed on the preprocessed data, and multiple subbands are created, where each subband represents a particular range of frequencies. The subbands are organized into multiple groups, where the multiple groups comprise a first low frequency group, a second low frequency group, and a high frequency group. A latent space representation is generated corresponding to each of the multiple groups of subbands. A first bitstream is created based on the latent space representation, and an alternate representation of the latent space is used for creating a second bitstream, enabling multiple-pass techniques for data compression. The multiple bitstreams may be multiplexed to form a combined bitstream for storage and/or transmission purposes.

  • Publication number: 20250190765
    Abstract: A system for adaptive data compression uses content-aware analysis and dynamic feedback to optimize compression quality. An adaptive quantization subsystem analyzes content characteristics of input data and determines appropriate quantization parameters. A bit allocation engine distributes available bits across different portions of the input data based on the analyzed characteristics. A quality assessment subsystem monitors the compressed output and generates parameter adjustment signals based on measured quality metrics. A feedback control subsystem then modifies the quantization parameters in response to these signals. The modified parameters are used to create optimized compressed output data from the input dataset. This dynamic, content-aware approach enables improved compression quality while maintaining efficient data reduction.

  • Publication number: 20250088554
    Abstract: The system trains a machine learning model using a loss function, with a part that penalizes overall signal loss, and a second part of the loss function that penalizes texture loss. The system computes a first neural feature of a first media frame stored by a media server using the trained machine learning model. The system causes a client device to receive a second media frame as a part of a media stream from the media server where the second frame is a modified version of the first media frame. The system causes the client to compute a second neural feature of the second media frame using the trained machine learning model, and compute a QoE metric based on the first neural feature and the second neural feature. The system receives the QoE metric, and uses it to modify at least one parameter of the media stream.
