Abstract:
Original data that represents a real-world object or activity and organized along three or more dimensions is received. The original data is represented as a product of several multipliers including a sparse core, such that the sparse core has fewer non-zero values than a tensor representation of the original data, and one or more unitary matrix multipliers. Modified data is generated based on the original data using the multipliers. This includes compressing, or reconstructing missing elements in, the tensor representation of the original data, such that the modified data provides a description of the real-world object or activity that is less complete or more complete, respectively, relative to the original data.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method can include receiving, at a computing device having one or more processors, questions and answers, each question having one or more answers, and each question and each answer being associated with a particular user. The method can include receiving, at the computing device, evaluations of the answers from users. The method can include identifying, at the computing device, at least one of textual and contextual features for each answer to obtain sets of features. The method can include generating, at the computing device, a user preference graph indicating relationships between users associated with at least one of the questions, the answers, and the evaluations. The method can also include detecting, at the computing device, whether each specific answer is a deceptive answer based on its set of features and the user preference graph.
Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to providing a user with an image navigation experience. In order to do so, a reference image may be identified. A set of potential target images for the reference image may also be identified. A drag vector for user input relative to the reference image is determined. For particular image of the set of target images an associated cost is determined based at least in part on a cost function and the drag vector. A target image is selected based on the determined associated costs.

Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for detecting breaks in a wireless network data model. An exemplary method includes determining neighboring access points from scans of network access points in a space. Each neighboring access point occurs together in a scan of a particular level of the space. Wireless data is received from a plurality of mobile devices moving through a space. A set of all access points for the space is identified based on the wireless data. A ratio is derived based on a difference between the neighboring access points and the set of all access points. The ratio represents a percentage of missing access points for the particular level of the space.

The orientation of imagery relative to a compass bearing may be determined based on the position of the sun or other information relating to celestial bodies captured in the image.

Abstract:
Disclosed here are methods and systems that relate to determining an orientation of an object. The orientation of the object may be represented by an Euler angle which identifies a rotation of the object from a reference frame. The methods and systems may rely on readings collected from two or more barometric pressure sensors to estimate an altitude difference between the pressure sensors. The methods and systems may calculate the Euler angle based on the altitude difference.
