Abstract

An apparatus and method for adaptive memory refresh scheduling utilize a score-and-filter-based arbitration logic to select bank pairs for refresh operations. A score generation logic determines priority scores for memory banks based on current operational states, including bank page states and transaction histories. A multi-stage filtering process identifies eligible banks by evaluating timing constraints and bank-refresh window requirements. A dual-stage arbitration logic processes the priority scores of the eligible banks to identify an optimal bank index and bank group pair. The arbitration logic employs parallel arbiters and weighted summation logic to select a winning bank index for generating a dual-bank refresh command. By dynamically selecting refresh candidates based on real-time bank activity and state transitions, the system manages refresh scheduling to maintain high throughput and bank utilization across varying workload conditions. The disclosed technology is applicable to high-performance memory controllers, including those compliant with dual-bank refresh protocols.

Abstract

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses for quality of service (QoS) differentiation for Internet Protocol (IP) access in a wireless communication system. Datagrams with different quality of services can traverse the same Internet Protocol security (IPsec) tunnel over a non-third generation partnership project (non-3GPP) access network. A user equipment (UE) (101) or network node (such as non-3GPP Interworking Function (N3IWF) or trusted non-3GPP gateway function (TNGF)) (115) generates a first datagram to convey a first encrypted PDU. The first datagram includes a first outer IP header with a first differentiated services code point (DSCP) value matching a second DSCP value corresponding to the first encrypted PDU (419). The UE (101) or the N3IWF/TNGF (115) transmits the first datagram via the IPsec tunnel in the non-3GPP access network. The non-3GPP access network performs QoS differentiated handling of the first datagram based on the DSCP value of the outer IP header (421).

Abstract

A media application receives an initial image and a textual request to change the initial image, the initial image including a subject with a face. The media application generates, from the initial image, a preserving mask that corresponds to the face of the subject. The media application provides the textual request, the initial image, and the preserving mask as input to a diffusion model. The diffusion model outputs a denoised initial image based on the initial image; performs text conditioning of the textual request and forward diffusion to generate a noisy translated image that satisfies the textual request; and outputs based on the noisy translated image, extracted features, and self-attention maps, a denoised translated image. The media application blends the denoised initial image, the preserving mask, and the denoised translated image to form an output image, wherein the preserving mask prevents modification to the face from the initial image.

Abstract

Various implementations include processing, at a client device, an instance of audio data capturing a user voice query using an automatic speech recognition model to generate a sequence of instances of tokenizable query text. In many implementations, one or more instances of the sequence can be transmitted to a remote computing system prior to generating the entire sequence. In a variety of implementations, each instance in the sequence can be processed using a generative model which includes a streaming multi-head attention portion. Responsive output can be transmitted from the remote computing system to the client device, where the client device renders the responsive output to the user. In many implementations, the time between the user speaking the user query and the client device rendering the responsive output is reduced, thus decreasing latency in the system.

Abstract

A reference line index indicating a first reference line from a plurality of available reference lines peripheral to a current block for intra-prediction is decoded from a compressed bitstream. A determination is made whether the reference line index indicates a reference line other than a default reference line with respect to the current block. In response to the reference line index indicating a reference line other than the default reference line, a determination is made as to whether to combine predictions from the first reference line and the default reference line. An intra predictor for the current block is generated based on the first reference line and the determination.

Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus for implementing a quantum circuit that moves a surface code patch of qubits. In one aspect, a method includes performing a first surface code cycle in a system of measure and data qubits. A first CNOT gate is applied to a measure qubit and a first data qubit, where the first data qubit is coupled to the measure qubit in a first direction and the first CNOT gate targets one of the measure qubits and the first data qubit. A second CNOT gate is applied to the measure qubit and the first data qubit, where the second CNOT gate targets another of the measure qubit and the first data qubit. Performing the first surface code cycle transfers information stored by the measure qubit and information stored by the first data qubit to other qubits to logically move the measure qubit and the first data qubit.

Abstract

Techniques include storing semantic information in data structures that are updated at a rate less than a nominal frame rate. For example, a semantic model is applied to a first camera image frame in a sequence of frames to produce semantic data for each pixel in the frame. In addition, a first edge image is derived from the first camera image frame to define boundaries for the semantic labels. A first semantic image may be derived from the semantic data and the first edge image. The semantic data is then stored in the data structures. For a second camera image frame of the sequence, a second edge image is derived but the semantic data is exported from the data structures to the second edge image to produce a second semantic image without generating new semantic data.

Abstract

Systems and methods for optimizing content layout using behavior metrics are provided. Behavioral data is collected for a content item presented on a client device. The behavioral data indicates various locations within a display area of the content item at which a user action (e.g., clicking) occurs. The behavioral data is used to assign weights to various components of a layout scheme for the content item. A user action that occurs within an area of the content item associated with a particular component of the layout scheme contributes to the weight of the corresponding component. The weights associated with each component of the layout scheme are used to optimize the layout for the content item. Components with greater assigned weights are highlighted or emphasized. The display sizes of components in the optimized layout scheme may correspond to the weights associated with the components.

Abstract

Techniques and apparatuses are described for handling a one-to-multiple handshake with asynchronous completion. In example aspects, a system-on-chip is implemented with at least one handler, at least one second entity, and at least one subsystem having multiple first entities and at least one scheduler. To facilitate communications between the multiple first entities of the subsystem and the second entity, the handler performs a request-and-acknowledgement handshake with the scheduler. Additionally, the handler performs multiple request-and-acknowledgement handshakes with the second entity. The handler completes the request-and-acknowledgement handshake with the scheduler based on the completion of the multiple request-and-acknowledgement handshakes with the second entity. This enables the handler to address a situation in which the multiple request-and acknowledgement handshakes with the second entity complete in an asynchronous manner.

The corresponding class may be one of multiple image feature classes represented by the image. The method may also include generating, based on the bilateral grid, a transform coefficient corresponding to a selected pixel of the image, and applying the transform coefficient to a pixel value of the selected pixel to generate a filter guide value. The method may further include generating an output image by applying an operator to the pixel value based on the filter guide value. A parameter of the operator may differ across the multiple classes as a function of the filter guide value.

Each wavefront of the multiple wavefronts comprises coding unit rows selected at intervals across the tile such that an nth row of each of the multiple wavefront groups belongs to an nth wavefront. For each wavefront of at least some of the multiple wavefronts, a probability model is initialized for a first row of the wavefront. The probability model is updated during coding of subsequent rows of the wavefront using finishing probability values from a previous row of the wavefront.

Abstract

A computer-implemented method for transcribing an utterance includes receiving, at a computing system, speech data that characterizes an utterance of a user. A first set of candidate transcriptions of the utterance can be generated using a static class-based language model that includes a plurality of classes that are each populated with class-based terms selected independently of the utterance or the user. The computing system can then determine whether the first set of candidate transcriptions includes class-based terms. Based on whether the first set of candidate transcriptions includes class-based terms, the computing system can determine whether to generate a dynamic class-based language model that includes at least one class that is populated with class-based terms selected based on a context associated with at least one of the utterance and the user.

Abstract

Provided are systems and methods that enable computerized systems to optimize predictions of joint label probabilities of lists of items returned in response to a query. The proposed approaches take into account the effects of relational interactions among items included in the same list and can improve predictions of a deployed model for either predicting engagement rates, ranking, and/or distillation. Unlike methods that combine label engagement loss with a ranking loss, the proposed methods directly model the joint probability of the vector of labels in a list of examples included in a training dataset (e.g., by modeling conditional probabilities) instead of modeling the marginal and conditional projections of the joint probability and empirically balancing between them to infer some approximation of the joint probability. The approach gives models the ability to refine their label predictions based on the contexts of co-recommended items.

Abstract

Techniques and apparatuses are described for performing on-head detection and/or hearable-adjustment detection using active acoustic sensing. A hearable, such as an earbud, is capable of performing audioplethysmography. Audioplethysmography is an active acoustic method capable of sensing subtle physiologically-related changes observable at a user's outer and middle ear. The hearable forms at least a partial seal in or around the user's outer ear, which enables formation of an acoustic circuit involving the seal, the hearable, an ear canal, and an ear drum. By transmitting and receiving acoustic signals, the hearable can recognize changes in the acoustic circuit to perform aspects of on-head detection and/or hearable-adjustment detection. The size, cost, and power usage of the hearable can help make these features accessible to a larger group of people and improve the user experience with hearables.
