  • Patent number: 11992702
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for generating fluence maps for a radiotherapy treatment plan that uses machine learning prediction. The systems and methods include identifying image data that indicates treatment constraints for target dose areas and organs at risk areas in an anatomy of the subject, generating anatomy projection images that represent a view of the subject from respective beam angles, using a trained neural network model to generate the computer-simulated fluence map representations based on the anatomy projection images, where the fluence maps indicate a fluence distribution of the radiotherapy treatment at each of the beam angles.

  • Patent number: 11995138
    Abstract: Methods and systems that evaluate currently operating online personas is automated to establish the relationships between nodes and assign attributes. A virtual network exploitation (ViNE) protocol can create a prioritized list of every account in the extended network based on its influence score, as well as filtering, to create a subset of the influencer list of accounts that meet attribute criteria. Analysis of this data can identify the key accounts for the influencer and lead lists and provide recommendations on the path and strategy the client should use to most effectively engage the accounts of interest. Automated seed list generation for SNA can be operationalized to identify all of the existing leads within an extended social network in priority order and provide an influence score for each account. The system can be scaled to combine individual accounts that focus on a specific organization, personality or region.

  • Patent number: 11989169
    Abstract: Techniques for refactoring data in a database are disclosed. A database may initially store both relational and non-relational data. A request to access data from a first data element in the database may be received via a relational database API. Upon receiving the request, a determination is made as to whether the first data element has been refactored into relational and non-relational portions. If the first data element has not been refactored, a refactoring operation is carried out by storing relational portions of the first data element into a relational database and the non-relational portions of the first data element into a non-relational database. The refactoring is performed concurrent with providing data to a requesting computing system. Additionally, refactoring information is updated to indicate that the first data element has been refactored.

  • Patent number: 11983218
    Abstract: Methods and systems of determining competition for search queries on a video hosting system on a computer network are provided. Search records associated with search queries directed to the video hosting system are received. Each search record identifies videos available on the video hosting system that are search results for a corresponding search query and indicates associated view durations that the videos were viewed responsive to the search query. Search queries directed to a first and second videos and associated view durations that the first video was watched in response to the queries are identified from the received search records. A competition score indicating an amount of competition between the first and second videos for views of users of the video hosting system is calculated based on the identified search queries and associated view durations.

  • Patent number: 11971884
    Abstract: An interactive search session is implemented using an artificial intelligence model. For example, when the artificial intelligence model receives a search query from a user, the model selects an action from a plurality of actions based on the search query. The selected action queries the user for more contextual cues about the search query (e.g., may enquire about use of the search results, may request to refine the search query, or otherwise engage the user in conversation to better understand the intent of the search). The interactive search session may be in the form, for example, of a chat session between the user and the system, and the chat session may be displayed along with the search results (e.g., in a separate section of display). The interactive search session may enable the system to better understand the user's search needs, and accordingly may help provide more focused search results.
