Classification: CPC G  B | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method for generating target classifications for an object from a set of input sequences, wherein each input sequence corresponds to a respective processing channel of a plurality of processing channels and defines a respective input for each of a plurality of time steps, the method comprising:
for each time step in the plurality of time steps after an initial time step and for each input sequence in the set of input sequences;
generating a respective feature representation for the input sequence by processing the respective input from the input sequence at the time step using a sequence generation model for the processing channel that corresponds to the input sequence,
wherein the sequence generation model that processes the respective input from the input sequence at the time step is conditioned on all inputs from the input sequence since the initial time step such that the respective feature representation generated at the time step is based on all inputs from the input sequence from the initial time step to the time step; and

processing a combined representation of the respective feature representations for the set of input sequences at a particular time step after the initial time step using a classification subsystem to select a target classification for the object at the particular time step.
