In some embodiments, methods and systems for pushing audiovisual playlists based on a text-attentional convolutional neural network include a local voice interactive terminal, a dialog system server and a playlist recommendation engine, where the dialog system server and the playlist recommendation engine are respectively connected to the local voice interactive terminal. In some embodiments, the local voice interactive terminal includes a microphone array, a host computer connected to the microphone array, and a voice synthesis chip board connected to the microphone array. In some embodiments, the playlist recommendation engine obtains rating data based on a rating predictor constructed by the neural network; the host computer parses the data into recommended playlist information; and the voice terminal synthesizes the results and pushes them to a user in the form of voice.

A high-speed real-time data transmission method includes performing deduplication processing on first encoded data from a transmission device to obtain target data. The first encoded data is obtained by encoding corresponding data using a first encoding algorithm. The method further includes encoding the target data using a second encoding algorithm to obtain second encoded data, and sending the second encoded data to a receiving device. A compression ratio of the second encoding algorithm is greater than a compression ratio of the first encoding algorithm.

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for generating videos with characters indicating regions of images are provided. For example, an image containing a first region may be received. At least one characteristic of a character may be obtained. A script containing a first segment of the script may be received. The first segment of the script may be related to the first region of the image. The at least one characteristic of a character and the script may be used to generate a video of the character presenting the script and at least part of the image, where the character visually indicates the first region of the image while presenting the first segment of the script.

An encoder for encoding secondary media data including metadata and control data for primary media data is shown, wherein the encoder is configured to encode the secondary media data using adding redundancy or bandlimiting and wherein the encoder is configured to output the encoded secondary media data as a stream of digital words. Therefore, the stream of digital words may be formed such that it is capable to resist a typical processing of a digital audio stream. Furthermore, processors for processing a digital audio stream are able to process the stream of digital words, since the stream of digital words may be designed as an audio-like or analog-like digital stream.
