Patent number: 11764941Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product for homomorphic inference on a decision tree (DT) model. In lieu of HE-based inferencing on the decision tree, the inferencing instead is performed on a neural network (NN), which acts as a surrogate. To this end, the neural network is trained to learn DT decision boundaries, preferably without using the original DT model data training points. During training, a random data set is applied to the DT, and expected outputs are recorded. This random data set and the expected outputs are then used to train the neural network such that the outputs of the neural network match the outputs expected from applying the original data set to the DT. Preferably, the neural network has low depth, just a few layers. HE-based inferencing on the decision tree is done using HE inferencing on the shallow neural network. The latter is computationally-efficient and is carried without the need for bootstrapping.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2020Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kanthi Sarpatwar, Nalini K.

Patent number: 11558450Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for aggregation and management of cloud storage among a plurality of providers. In a first aspect, the invention is directed to file distribution and management across multiple cloud services via a storage manager. The storage manager may aggregate third-party cloud storage provider accounts into a single cloud storage space and load balance files among the third party-accounts as necessary. In one implementation, the storage manager may act as an intermediary, and files may be transferred by the client to the storage manager, which may select and forward the files to a third-party storage provider. File retrieval may be performed similarly, with the client requesting a file from the intermediary storage manager, which may retrieve the file from the corresponding third-party storage provider and forward the file to the client device.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2020Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: CARBONITE, INC.Inventors: Teo Winton Crofton, David Raissipour

Patent number: 11558656Abstract: In a method for selecting of a prerecorded media file for superimposing into a video, a video of a scene is displayed on a display device of a mobile electronic device. A location of the scene is determined. A prerecorded video file is selected based at least in part on the location. The prerecorded video file is superimposed over the video, such that the video is partially obscured by the prerecorded video file. The prerecorded video file is played while displaying the video, such that the prerecorded video file and a non-obscured portion of the video are rendered simultaneously.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2021Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: Snap Inc.Inventors: Richard Rabbat, Kasey Wang

Patent number: 11521654Abstract: A method and system for recording and playing a video are provided. The method includes receiving an input, from a first user, to start recording of the video. An orientation of a recording device is detected for a plurality of frames while recording the video. An input to stop recording of the video is then received. The video is stored in a video file and the orientation of the recording device for the plurality of frames is stored as metadata associated with the video file. The playing includes receiving an input to play the video from a second user. An orientation of a playing device is detected. The video file is accessed, and the video is played using the metadata, the input received from the second user, and the orientation of the playing device. The video file is used to control speed and direction of the video.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2020Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: Snap Inc.Inventors: Celia Mourkogiannis, Guillaume Sabran, Jacob Trefethen, Luis Tueros-Grimaldo

Patent number: 11514591Abstract: A system is configured to perform operations includes accessing a set of model points of a model of an anatomic structure of a patient, the model points being associated with a model space. A set of measured points of the anatomic structure of the patient are collected, the measured points being associated with a patient space. The set of model points are registered to the set of measured points using a first set of initial parameters to generate a first transformation. One or more sets of perturbed initial parameters are generated based on the first set of initial parameters. One or more perturbed registration processes are performed to register the set of model points to the set of measured points using the one or more sets of perturbed initial parameters respectively to generate corresponding perturbed transformations. A registration quality indicator is generated based on the first transformation and the one or more perturbed transformations.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2019Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: INTUITIVE SURGICAL OPERATIONS, INC.Inventors: Timothy D.
