Efficient Automated Video Captioning Based On Content Fingerprinting, Matthew Sharifi

Defensive Publications Series

Subtitles or closed captions for the audio in video content are an important accessibility and comprehension feature of video hosting platforms. Generating captions manually can be time consuming, expensive, and difficult to scale. Captions generated via automated speech recognition (ASR) can be noisy and inaccurate, and depend on the quality of the video. This disclosure describes the use of content fingerprinting techniques to detect near, partial, or exact duplicates of a newly added video in a large corpus. Captions from the matching content are then automatically transferred to the newly added video, rather than being generated from scratch. Alternatively, captions …

Using A Secure Telephony Identity Revisited (Stir) Personal Assertion Token Extension To Improve Audio Dial-In Experience In Meetings, Ram Mohan R, Rajarshee Dhar, Deepesh Arora, Radha Krishna Saragadam

Defensive Publications Series

Public-Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) dial-in is a common way to join a teleconference (e.g., a teleconference meeting, etc.), which could be an audio-only teleconference or a video teleconference in which the audio portion of the call involves a PSTN path). Many teleconference vendors provide toll-free numbers and/or other PSTN numbers that can be used to dial-in to a teleconference. However, PSTN call-in processes for teleconferences have not evolved much in the last decade and often experience problems. This proposal seeks to address various problems/challenges associated with current PSTN call-in processes for teleconferences by providing novel techniques in which an extension …

Automatic Printhead Alignment Correlation Procedure That Avoids Recalibration For Fast Printmode, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

Similarly to other products, current PageWide XL Pro printers, present different behavior

depending on the printmode selected. Apart from speed, image resolution or ink

quantities, one of the differences is the use of the airflows system. This asset has a significant

impact on the printhead alignment compensation results and, consequently, on image

quality.

Since it implies the application of different compensation values depending on the printmode,

it would be needed to run a calibration for each airflows on-off case. In this article,

we propose a procedure that avoids performing multiple calibrations by taking advantage of

one done on a certain …

Upon receipt of such indications from a threshold number …

Mechanism For Cross Process Communication With Anr Checking And Automatic Object Serialization, Rafael Lima, Roberto Perez, Jorge Pereira, David Notario

Defensive Publications Series

A host and a client may perform inter-process communication (IPC) with automatic object serialization and deserialization and with application not responding (ANR) checking. A sender (e.g., a host process, host application, host device, a client process, client application, client device, etc.) may automatically serialize an object by using reflection (e.g., the ability of a process to examine, introspect, and modify its own structure and behavior) to recursively obtain all fields and corresponding key-value pairs from each layer of the object (as well as any parent object with inheritance). The sender may bundle the fields and key-value pairs and transmit the …

Presence Validation Using Secured Internet Protocol (Ip) Address, Patrick Wetterwald, Eric Levy- Abegnoli, Pascal Thubert, Jonas Zaddach

Defensive Publications Series

Various presence-based validation technologies exist that provide for the ability add identity and presence validation to a laptop-based system. However, these technologies are primarily limited to computers (e.g., desktops and laptops) and do not include location validation. There is a need to extend these capabilities to other devices connected to a network and also to eliminate the need for a hardware-assisted solution. There is also a need to offer network location to avoid any type of attack from devices that are not connected to a local area network (LAN) or even to the same port. This proposal provides a technique …

Multicast Virtual Private Network Per-Flow Monitoring For An Aggregated Tunnel In A Multiprotocol Label Switching Core, Mankamana Mishra, Ashok Kumar, Sridhar Santhanam, Rajiv Asati, Nitin Kumar

Defensive Publications Series

Typically, when a service provider carries customer multicast traffic over a core network, it is often carried over a tunnel, which are often aggregated. There are many reasons for aggregated tunnel use, such as issues of scale and/or hardware limitations. While aggregated tunnels can be useful for carrying multicast traffic, it can be difficult to monitor network health when tunnels are aggregated. Techniques of this proposal provide for the ability to monitor network health by supporting per-flow counters for aggregated tunnels for both Internet Protocol (IP) version 4 and version 6 (IPv4/IPv6) traffic in a manner that is scalable and …

Extracting Superproperty Candidates Using Vector Embeddings, Martin Rezk, Stuart Robinson, Edwin James Taylor

Defensive Publications Series

Hierarchical relationships between attributes in knowledge representation can have a number of benefits such as automatic alignment of attributes of differing semantic granularity, simultaneous assertion of semantically equivalent properties defined on different levels of a semantic hierarchy, etc. Many knowledge representation systems lack systematic hierarchical alignment of attributes. Since there are few existing sources of such inventories, there exists a bootstrapping problem for superproperty curation. Given the large number of pre-existing properties that can exist in a knowledge graph, it is difficult for human curators to evaluate all of the possible pairings of properties that may potentially represent a superproperty …

Auto-Suggest Query Refinement Using N-Best Alternative Homophones, Brett Barros, Theo Goguely

Defensive Publications Series

Automatic speech recognizer software (ASR), e.g., as implemented in voice-activated virtual assistants or other applications, is prone to conflating words that sound similar (homophones). Keyboard-style corrections, e.g., based on the edit-distance of transcribed words, are suboptimal in the presence of such transcription errors. This disclosure describes techniques that predict the N-best speech-to-text transcription alternatives for a given word, wherein the suggested replacements are based on homophones or words with similar sounds. The techniques can be used in any context where automatic speech recognition is used, e.g., to enable correction of commands provided to a virtual assistant, to modify transcribed speech, …
