Abstract: Methods are provided herein for training and using models to generate semantically representative continuous vectors for input mathematical expressions. These methods result in models that output continuous vectors that are nearby in an embedding space for equations that are mathematically equivalent but differently written. Such continuous vectors can be used to facilitate indexing and searching of databases of mathematical equations, e.g., to facilitate semantically-aware searching of databases of mathematical texts for equations that are mathematically equivalent to, or mathematically similar to, input query expressions. These training methods include training an encoder together with a decoder to predict pairs of mathematically equivalent but different training expressions, with the output of the encoder being the continuous vector that represents the semantic mathematical content of the pair of training expressions.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a mobile unit, an inventory management system, and a method for mobile unit localization. Sensors are immovably disposed in the workplace, actively identifying the positions of the mobile units. The individual sensor disposed in the workplace can monitor the positions of a plurality of mobile units simultaneously, and the number of sensors is only related to the size of workspace, which is independent of the number of mobile units. Since no complicated position calculations are needed for the mobile units, it reduces the requirements for on-board processors, which is more advantageous to monitor the preexisting non-automated vehicles or retrofit them into automated vehicles. With the method of the present invention, position calculations are not carried out on the bodies of AGVs, the requirements for the on-board controllers of AGVs are low, and it is easier to retrofit the non-intelligent mobile units, and thereby position monitoring and autonomous operation are implemented.
