A computer-implemented method of associating an annotation with an object in an image, comprising generating a dictionary including first vectors that associate terms of the annotation with concepts, classifying the image to generate a second vector based on classified objects and associated confidence scores for the classified objects, selecting a term of the terms associated with one of the first vectors having a shortest determined distance to the second vector, identifying a non-salient region of the image, and rendering the annotation associated with the selected term at the non-salient region.

System and method for automated photo-ideophone matching and placement

A computer implemented method of grouping media objects is provided, as well as systems, interfaces and devices therefor. The method includes generating a group from the media objects based on a combination of a script of sequential events and an actor associated with one or more of the media objects in the script, segmenting the group into segments each including one or more of the media objects, based on clustering or classification, providing titling and captioning for the segments, and generating filter and annotation recommendations based on knowledge associations in the media objects, data, and the combination of the script and the actor, across the media objects of the group.

Media object grouping and classification for predictive enhancement

Systems and methods are provided that involve processing video to identify a plurality of people in the video; obtaining a plurality of gaze part affinity fields (PAFs) and torso PAFs from the identified plurality of people; determining orthogonal vectors from first vectors derived from the torso PAFs; determining an intersection between second vectors derived from the gaze PAFs and the orthogonal vectors; and changing a viewpoint of the video based on the intersection.

Saliency prediction using part affinity fields in videos

A computer implemented method of associating a non-electronic map with an electronic map is provided. The method comprises, for an obtained online data collection, generating a database of style-invariant and location-variant map representations by application of a convolutional neural network. Additionally, for a captured image associated with the non-electronic map, the captured image not having geo-location metadata, the method comprises applying a nearest neighbor heuristic to compare the captured image to the map representations and generate a match between the captured image and the map representations, and performing a display action associated with the match.

Method for location inference from map images

A computer-implemented method of assessing whether a patent has a condition is provided, including generating a facial landmark on a received input video to define points associated with a region of interest on a face of the patient, defining a period of talking based respective positions of the defined points, during the period of talking, measuring pause frequency, repetitive pattern, and vocabulary variety, without determining or applying semantic information associated with the talking, to generate an aggregate score, and based on the aggregate score, generating a prediction of the patient having the condition associated with the aggregate score.

System and method for detection of cognitive and speech impairment based on temporal visual facial feature

A method and system of associating textual summaries with data representative of media content is provided. The method may include receiving a plurality of textual summaries, each textual summary representative of an event, pairing, by a neural network, each received textual summary with each of a plurality of pieces of data, each piece of data representative of media content, to generate a plurality of text-data pairings; and associating a first selected textual summary with a first piece of data based on a similarity of content features extracted from each received textual summary to content features extracted from each piece of data in each of the plurality of text-data pairings.

System and method for associating textual summaries with content media

Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content searching, generating, hosting and/or providing systems supported by or configured with personal computing devices, servers and/or platforms. The systems interact to identify and retrieve data within or across platforms, which can be used to improve the quality of data used in processing interactions between or among processors in such systems. The disclosed systems and methods automatically determine media content to communicate to a user based on the user's location. The disclosed systems and methods enable novel media content distribution to a user based on 1) the location of the user (i.e., physical location or geo-location), 2) other users' classified relationships to the location; and 3) user generated media content by the classified other users.

Computerized system and method for determining and communicating media content to a user based on a physical location of the user

A computing device includes a communication interface, a memory, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is coupled to the communication interface and to the memory and is configured to execute the operational instructions to perform various functions. The computing device is configured to process a video frame of a video segment on a per-frame basis and based on joint human-object interactive activity (HOIA) to generate a per-frame pairwise human-object interactive (HOI) feature based on a plurality of candidate HOI pairs. The computing device is also configured to process the per-frame pairwise HOI feature to identify a valid HOI pair among the plurality of candidate HOI pairs and to track the valid HOI pair through subsequent frames of the video segment to generate a contextual spatial-temporal feature for the valid HOI pair to be used in activity detection.

Activity detection by joint human and object detection and tracking

Disclosure includes system, method and architecture for selecting supplemental digital content using visual appearance. Digital content that is visually similar, or dissimilar, to digital content requested by a user can he identified and provided for presentation with the requested content. The additional digital content is visually congruent, or visually incongruent, with content requested by a user, such that the additional content is similar, or dissimilar, to the requested content from a visual standpoint. In a presentation of the requested content, the presentation position of each additional content item relative to the presentation position of each requested content can be identified using visual congruence, or visual incongruence.

Method and system for selecting supplemental content using visual appearance

The present disclosure is descriptive of discovering structure, content, and context of a media event, e.g., a live media event, using real-time discussions that unfold through short messaging services. Generally, a sampling of short messages of a plurality of users is obtained. The sampling of short messages corresponds to a media event. A segment in the media event is identified using the sampling of short messages, and at least one term taken from the sampling of short messages is identified. The at least one term is indicative of a context of the identified segment.

Media event structure and context identification using short messages

Disclosed herein are aspects associated with contextual, or related, media enrichment presentation item of a media object served via the internet. A request to annotate a media object in connection with the media object's presentation is received, and a media object identifier and a profile identifier are obtained. The media object's information is retrieved using the media object identifier, and a profile is retrieved using the profile identifier.
