摘要:
A video-on-demand (VOD) server in an Internet protocol television (IPTV) network with a network of set-top boxes includes IPTV operational data and an analysis module that selects a content item. The VOD server divides the content item into sequential chunks, divides the chunks into stripes, pre-populates set-top boxes in a peering network with at least one stripe from each chunk, receives a request for the content item, and directs each set-top box to sequentially stream its stripes. A method includes selecting a content item based upon IPTV operational data, dividing the content item into sequential chunks, dividing the chunks into stripes, pre-populating set-top boxes in a peering network with at least one stripe from each chunk, receiving a request for the content item, and directing each set-top box to sequentially stream its stripes.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for communicating accumulated state information between internal and external tasks in a supervised learning system. A supervised learning system encodes state information for a hypothetical learning task on initialization. This hypothetical learning task state information indicates that no training instances have been received. During the supervised learning, training instances are presented to the supervised learner. The training instances are encoded with feature vector and target value information. For each task name paired with a non-default target value, the learner initializes a new learning task by copying the hypothetical learning task state representation for use as the state representation for the new learning task. Predictors are then produced for all learning tasks, except the hypothetical learning task. The new training instance is used to update all learning tasks as specified in the target vector. The new training instance is then used.to update the hypothetical learning task state representation as a negative example. Further training instances are handled similarly, new learning tasks are started based on the examination of the sparse target vector for task name, target value pairs which match received training instance target values and for which tasks have not yet been started.

摘要:
A method and apparatus for adding new learning tasks to an incremental supervised learner provide a flexible incremental representation of all training examples encountered, thereby permitting state representations for new learning tasks to take advantage of incremental training already completed by encoding all past training examples as negative examples for a hypothetical learning task. The state representation of the hypothetical learning task is copied as the initial state representation for a new learning task to be initiated, is initialized with negative training examples of all previously presented training examples, thereby permitting the learning task to incorporate the previous examples efficiently.
