    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are described herein for performing sentiment analysis on electronic communications relating to one or more image-based communications methods, such as emoji. Message data may be received. The message data may correspond to a message that is intended to be sent but has not yet been sent to an application. Using a first machine learning model, one or more subsets of the plurality of emoji may be determined. The one or more subsets of the plurality of emoji may comprise one or more different types and quantities of emoji, and may each correspond to the same or a different sentiment. Using a second machine learning model, one or more emojis may be selected from the one or more subsets. The one or more emojis selected may correspond to responses to the message.

  • Publication number: 20240141857
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine system is described herein. The system uses a switching rail in combination with a first fuel rail to operate the internal combustion engine of the system. The first fuel rail receives the first fuel for combustion within one or more of the combustion cylinders of the internal combustion engine. The switching rails are configured to receive either the first fuel or a second fuel. A controller is used to operate a switching valve that, depending on the position of the switching valve, routes or directs either the second fuel or the first fuel from their respective fuel tanks. In a switching condition, such as startup, shutdown, or when the second fuel is not available, the controller can use the first fuel as the alternate source of fuel provided through the switching rail.

  • Publication number: 20240127367
    Abstract: A crop prediction system performs various machine learning operations to predict crop production and to identify a set of farming operations that, if performed, optimize crop production. The crop prediction system uses crop prediction models trained using various machine learning operations based on geographic and agronomic information. Responsive to receiving a request from a grower, the crop prediction system can access information representation of a portion of land corresponding to the request, such as the location of the land and corresponding weather conditions and soil composition. The crop prediction system applies one or more crop prediction models to the access information to predict a crop production and identify an optimized set of farming operations for the grower to perform.
