IPC Code(s): G06N3/049

CPC Code(s): G06N3/049

Abstract: examples relate to event-based neural network processing. a neural network includes a source neural network layer with source batches and a current neural network layer with current batches. a section in a temporary storage space is temporarily allocated to a number of the current batches. for each current batch in the number of current batches, one or more event messages are received from one or more respective source batches associated with the current batch. the section in the temporary storage space is used to update neuron state data of respective neural network elements in the current batch. based on compliance with an emission condition and an activation function of a neural network element in the current batch, an event message is issued for the neural network element to a destination. the section in the temporary storage space is released and an end of batch notification is issued.

Inventor(s): Tyrone Ahmad-Taylor of Los Angeles CA (US) for snap inc.

IPC Code(s): G06Q30/0251, G06F40/40, G06Q30/0241

CPC Code(s): G06Q30/0271

Abstract: a system and method for facilitating natural language conversations between customers and vendors for product purchases is provided. the system ingests product catalogs from vendors, normalizes the data, and provides a conversational interface for customers to query the catalogs. in some examples, a chatbot system receives a natural language query from a customer about a product in a chat interface, identifies vendors offering that product by searching uploaded product catalogs, determines available inventory for the product by querying the catalogs, and generates a natural language response to the customer using the vendor and inventory information. the system can extract product details from the query, search based on those details, rank and recommend vendors and products, update user profiles, offer purchase incentives, and complete transactions within the conversation. the system handles the conversational and technical aspects to enable natural dialog between businesses and customers regarding products.

IPC Code(s): G06T17/20, G06T7/70, G06T13/40, G06T15/20

CPC Code(s): G06T17/20

Abstract: an augmented reality (ar) device generates hand annotations for an image depicting a user's hand. the device includes a display, a processor, and a memory storing instructions for performing operations. the device performs a calibration operation to generate a 3-d model of the user's hand based on measurements. the calibration operation prompts the user to mimic the hand gesture presented by the animated virtual representation of a hand to obtain optimal images of the hand for hand pose estimation. a 3-d virtual representation of a hand in a hand pose corresponding with a hand gesture is generated based on the 3-d model. the device presents the 3-d virtual representation of the hand in ar via the display. during presentation, the device detects an input and captures an image of the user's hand positioned to correspond with the 3-d virtual representation. the captured image is stored with corresponding hand annotations based on the 3-d model.
