Title: Zhiming Hu and Video-Query Processing Innovation.

Introduction

Zhiming Hu is an inventor based in Maple, Canada, associated with Samsung Electronics Ltd. His patent work includes a method for processing multimodal tasks, with a focus on matching a user’s query to a video while managing computational efficiency.

Latest Patents

Hu is named on 1 patent: “Method of Processing Multimodal Tasks, and an Apparatus for the Same.” The invention describes an electronic device that receives a user query and a sequence of video frames. A sampler neural network extracts features, determines temporal dependencies, and selects or skips frames. A multimodal neural network then uses the selected frames and query to identify the matching video. The two networks are jointly trained using an aggregated loss that balances matching accuracy with the proportion of frames passed to the multimodal network.

Career Highlights

Hu’s listed patent reflects work on combining neural networks for video understanding and query-based retrieval. By selecting relevant frames before multimodal analysis, the method aims to balance accurate video matching with efficient processing.

Collaborations

Hu’s listed coworker is Ning Ye. The patent is associated with Samsung Electronics Ltd.

Conclusion

Zhiming Hu’s patent describes a neural-network approach to finding videos that match user queries while balancing accuracy and processing efficiency.
