Title: Attribute weighting for media content-based recommendation
Inventor: VISWANATHAN SWAMINATHAN
IPC: H04N21/466
Filed: 2016-10-21
Abstract: Generating content-based recommendations 150 by training a predictive model. Said model is trained by assigning weights 126 to attributes of media content based on a historical similarity score 122 (a statistical measure of similarity between user preferences for each of a first content item and a second content item) and an attribute similarity score 124 (a statistical measure of similarity between a first content attribute and a second content attribute). The content items can be any type of audio or visual media content, such as songs, videos, or movies, as well as written content, such as books, articles, journals, advertisements, or magazines. Weights are assigned to each of the attributes based on the first and second similarity scores using, for example, linear equation regression techniques. Preferably the historical similarity score is the number of users who liked both content items divided by the number of users who liked either content item. Preferably there is a third similarity score and a third content item.

Title: Powertrain control system
Inventor: THOMAS G LEONE
IPC: F02D41/02
Filed: 2017-05-05
Abstract: A method of controlling a vehicle comprises detecting an occupancy status of the vehicle 505, setting an engine operating parameter based on the occupancy status 520 and controlling the engine according with that parameter 525. The occupancy status may be driver seat occupied, passenger seat only occupied, back seat only occupied or unoccupied. The parameter of the engine may be a transmission schedule, and this may include the gear ratios occurring at different speeds depending on the number of passengers or if there is a driver present. The parameter may be a torque converter lockup schedule, where the slip quantities vary depending on the occupants. An engine running on reduced slip improves efficiency but degrades passenger comfort. Similarly, reducing the speed at which gear changes occur improves efficiency but increases NVH. These efficiency measures are thus only employed under particular passenger configurations either when the vehicle is empty (for an autonomous vehicle) or when passengers are in particular seats.
