US Patent Issued to Electronic Arts on Sept. 2 for "Learning character motion alignment with periodic autoencoders" (British, American Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 3 -- United States Patent no. 12,403,400, issued on Sept. 2, was assigned to Electronic Arts Inc. (Redwood City, Calif.).

"Learning character motion alignment with periodic autoencoders" was invented by Wolfram Sebastian Starke (Edinburgh, Great Britain) and Harold Henry Chaput (Castro Valley, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "The present disclosure provides a periodic autoencoder that can be used to generate a general motion manifold structure using local periodicity of the movement whose parameters are composed of phase, frequency, and amplitude. The periodic autoencoder is a novel neural network architecture that can learn periodic features from large unstructure...
