Title: Security System
Inventor: JOSEPH MORRIS
IPC: H04N7/18
Filed: 2020-03-20
Abstract: A security system for retail premises comprises a plurality of cameras for mounting in the retail premises to image exit routes. Plural exit sensor arrangements (e.g. cameras) are provided, each assignable to an exit route (e.g. a payment path past a point of sale device) and enabling detection of an irregular exit (e.g. moving through without making payment, or moving through a closed payment path or till) by an individual (person) through the assigned exit route. Selection logic responds to detection of an irregular exit by selecting a subset of the image data by reference to the time of the irregular exit (egress) and by reference to the exit route assigned to the sensor arrangement that detected the irregular exit. Security scoring logic serves to analyse the selected subset of the image data (e.g. at least one image) and to attribute to it a security score e.g. risk of shoplifting (theft); whether the individual has a trolley, bag, basket and/or is carrying goods may be analysed, as well as recognition of the person’s garb (clothing). Exit sensors may respond to an unauthorised opening of an exit barrier.

IPC: G06F16/583
Filed: 2020-03-31
Abstract: In a machine learning model training environment, a plurality of text queries is received and used to initiate digital image searches 302 such that images selected by a user from the search results are received 304 and used to generate a training dataset 306. A model is trained based on a loss function 308 and the training dataset and used to generate a subsequent search result 310. The training dataset generation involves the selection of a positive and negative image sample from the plurality of images and the training involving the determination of a loss between a text embedding and the positive image sample embedding, and a text embedding and the negative image sample embedding. The training of the model may result in a single unified text-and-digital image embedding space based on the text queries and plurality of images. Generation of the training dataset may include generation of a title-based training dataset with titles associated with the images. The loss function may be a triplet loss function.

Title: Method for improved binarized neural networks
Inventor: ADRIAN BULAT
IPC: G06N3/08
Filed: 2021-03-22
Abstract: A method of training a machine learning model is disclosed, such as training a binarized convolutional neural network to analyse or capture images. The machine learning model comprises convolutional layers, each layer comprising expert binary filters. A gating function of each layer is trained to select one of the expert binary filters based on data input to the model. Each expert binary filter may be trained to specialise in a subset of training data. Each expert binary filter may be trained to learn real-value weights and generate an intermediate trained model. The intermediate trained model may then be trained to learn binary-value weights. The real-value weight may be learned by training one expert binary filter and applying that real-value weight to all remaining expert binary filters. The convolutional layers may be grouped, and the expert binary filters in each group may be trained together. Also disclosed is a method of analysing data using the trained machine learning model. The expert binary filters may be selected to perform image classification, gesture recognition, emotion recognition, action recognition, to identify an image matching a query, or to determine when to capture an image.

Abstract: A controller for a wearable article obtains contextual data indicative of whether a wearer is in a first motion state or a second motion state indicative of higher activity levels than the first motion state (S102). If the user is determined to be in the first low motion state (S013), a measurement is taken by a sensor in the wearable article (S104). The sensor may be a bioelectric or bioimpedance sensor such as an ECG or PPG sensor. The controller may determine if the user remains in the first motion state throughout a first measurement time period, and discard the measurements if the wearer transitions to the second motion state. The motion sensor may determine the wearer has been in the first motion state for a predetermined time period before a physiological measurement is taken. The contextual data for determining the user’s motion may be motion data or location data. The wearable article may be a garment such as a shirt or a waist band.
