Embodiments of the invention provide increased user-to-user interaction and increase the sphere of influence event attendees have on one another by sharing what event functions and other features are being attended by persons having similar interests. Embodiments of the present invention may provide a new and enhanced end-user interface to social networking users, especially individual and business attendees of large events. Embodiments of the invention expand social networking principles to allow event attendees to influence and rely on one another in selecting courses and sessions. This may be accomplished by allowing a particular attendee to view the chosen schedules of other attendees while the particular attendee is selecting an attendance schedule before and throughout a conference or other similar event by searching for and matching user characteristics in social-networking fashion and displaying event functions selected by matching users.

A method for analysing medical treatment data based on deep learning, and an intelligent analyser thereof, which can effectively alleviate work stress for doctors in a hospital or medical researchers and can perform scientific analysis on a large amount of medical treatment data or medical data and obtain an analysis result matched therewith. The core content of the method is the establishment of a model in a computer using a deep convolution neuron algorithm in deep learning. The model assists the doctors to make correct judgments and effective decisions for the large amount of medical treatment data using mass medical treatment data selection and optimization model parameters by “training” the model to automatically learn a pathology analysis process of the doctors or the medical researchers and then helping them in processing the large amount of medical treatment data or medical data. The present invention can greatly reduce the work stress for the doctors or the medical researchers and improve the work efficiency thereof. The present invention can free the doctors or the medical researchers from heavy analysis work on the medical treatment data or medical data, so that they can put more effort into other more important work.

A method and system makes inlining decisions that are efficient for subprograms that have significantly varying execution times over a range of variables or execution paths. A subprogram of a computer program is identified and certain execution paths of the subprogram are selectively inlined. The subprogram may be identified based on execution characteristics of the subprogram. The selective inlining of the execution paths may be based on execution characteristics of the paths. The paths may be selectively inlined based on an inline indication associated with an execution path, where the inline indication may be an inline directive. The inline directive may be included as part of a program comment statement. A compiler makes determinations whether to inline a specific execution path of a subprogram by evaluating certain information supplied in conjunction with the path. By supplying information in association with the subprogram path, the compiler may more easily determine the various execution characteristics of the execution paths and may inline or not based on the execution characteristic indication associated with the subprogram execution path.

A video-coding device and a video-decoding device, which are capable of assuring the necessary quality of a video sequence even if a transmission error and/or a loss of information occurs in a transmission line and preventing the propagation of decoding error to subsequent images, and can effectively retransmit the necessary coded information when a transmission error and/or a loss of information occurs in a transmission line. A motion-compensated interframe-predicting portion predicts an input image by using a preceding decoded image stored in a frame memory portion and outputs motion vectors. A difference calculating portion determines a difference between the input image signal and the predicted image signal and outputs the difference as a prediction-error signal to a band-dividing portion which in turn divides the prediction-error signal into n hierarchical layers of frequency-band-components and outputs them to respective coding portions. A loop-back control portion decides whether each of the coded frequency-band-components of the coded prediction-error signal from respective coding portions is input to a synthesizing portion and outputs a decoded prediction-error signal. The predicted image signal and the decoded prediction-error signal are combined to generate a decoded image signal corresponding to the input image. The decoded image signal is used for prediction of a subsequent input image. A motion-compensated interframe-predicting portion predicts an input image by using a preceding decoded image stored in a frame memory portion and outputs motion vectors. A difference calculating portion determines a difference between the input image signal and the predicted image signal and outputs the difference as a prediction-error signal to a band-dividing portion which in turn divides the prediction-error signal into n hierarchical layers of frequency-band-components and outputs them to respective coding portions for quantizing and encoding the respective components. Buffer portions store the coded information and output the information to an external circuit. The buffers output respective frequency-band-components of the coded information according to retransmission request signals from a retransmission control portion.

An optimization engine is provided to determine, through price optimization modeling, an optimal combination of price and volume for various products and services of an organization while also considering numerous factors internal and external to the organization. The price optimization modeling provided by the optimization engine may, among other things, be used by the organization to determine the optimal set of pricing recommendations that will provide the organization with the highest total contribution margin (total revenue less total variable cost). The optimization engine may consider various data inputs and analytics that allow an organization to develop a more effective and disciplined price-decisioning process.

An image processing apparatus which decides a comparison position for performing similarity comparison between a comparison source image and a comparison destination image. A comparison source image and comparison destination image are divided into a plurality of blocks. Feature amounts of the images are calculated for each divided block. The similarity distance between the images are calculated after shifting on the basis of the feature amounts of corresponding blocks in the images. A position correction amount for correcting the comparison positions of the images is calculated on the basis of the size of the block and a position shifting pattern. Every time the position correction amount is calculated, the designated block division count is incremented, and the process is recursively executed. When recursive processing is determined to be ended, a comparison position at this time is finalized as the final comparison positions of the images.

A method and system for performing parasitic extraction, wherein the method comprises calculating the minimum output impedance for a network-connected component comprising a plurality of ports thereby producing a labeled impedance, estimating the minimum output impedance for every net, comparing the labeled impedance with the estimated impedance, and selecting the net which needs to be extracted based on a ratio of values of the labeled impedance and the estimated impedance. The step of calculating comprises labeling every port with a minimum size of port impedance, a resistance from a port to power, and a minimum capacitance of a port-net inside the network connected component. The step of estimating comprises using a geometry of segments of the net comprising a summation of area and perimeter values of all the segments of the net, or calculating a resistance over a length of a total net versus an average width of the net.
