  • Publication number: 20230186903
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for performing machine learning training of a computer model. A perturbation generator generates a modified training data comprising perturbations injected into original training data, where the perturbations cause a data corruption of the original training data. The modified training data is input into a prediction network of the computer model and processing the modified training data through the prediction network to generate a prediction output. Machine learning training is executed of the prediction network based on the prediction output and the original training data to generate a trained prediction network of a trained computer model. The trained computer model is deployed to an artificial intelligence computing system for performance of an inference operation.

  • Patent number: 10802697
    Abstract: A graphical user interface and a range slider are provided. Each of a first and second slider thumb is positioned at a respective location along a slider track, and associated with a corresponding value along the slider track. User interaction is detected and identified to include at least one of a tap or a drag. A hardware processor responds to the user interaction by processing a value representing the tap or the drag to determine a location along the slider track of the user interaction. The processor identifies the interaction as being with one of the first and second slider thumbs, and repositions the identified one slider thumb to the determined location along the slider track. In addition, a graphical selection overlay is on the selected slider thumb, and by determining a slider track value associated with the repositioned location of the selected one slider thumb along the slider track.

  • Patent number: 10108775
    Abstract: Various embodiments select markers for modeling epistasis effects. In one embodiment, a processor receives a set of genetic markers and a phenotype. A relevance score is determined with respect to the phenotype for each of the set of genetic markers. A threshold is set based on the relevance score of a genetic marker with a highest relevancy score. A relevance score is determined for at least one genetic marker in the set of genetic markers for at least one interaction between the at least one genetic marker and at least one other genetic marker in the set of genetic markers. The at least one interaction is added to a top-k feature set based on the relevance score of the at least one interaction satisfying the threshold.

The operations of the method may include generating a plurality of object layers, the object layers representing permissible height values. The method may also include populating the environment with a plurality of objects, wherein each object is associated with a height value corresponding to one of the object layers. The method may also include determining whether any two objects form an occluded pair. The method may also include calculating a cast shadow index for each occluded pair reflecting a magnitude of a height differential between occluding object and the occluded object. The method may also include rendering the virtual environment in accordance with the calculated cast shadow indices.
