  • Patent number: 11947633
    Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for oversampling for imbalanced test data are provided. A classifier is configured to classify data points as either belonging to a first class or a second class. A determination may be made that the first class and the second class are imbalanced where a first number of data points estimated to be part of the first class is a threshold amount less than a second number of data points estimated to be part of the second class. An oversampling ratio is determined for the first class. The oversampling ratio is used to select a sample set of data points for editorial labeling, where the sampling set of data points comprises a total number of data points below a threshold amount.

  • Publication number: 20230336506
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content providing, searching and/or hosting systems supported by or configured with devices, servers and/or platforms. The disclosed systems and methods provide a novel messaging framework that automatically applies a multi-factor analysis technique to incoming and received messages in order to properly identify a message's type and category, which dictates the manner in which the message is displayed within a recipient's inbox. The disclosed framework operates on two levels: i) it determines whether a message is from a human or machine sender (H/M classification), and ii) it determines the messages category (MAGMA categorization).

  • Publication number: 20230297581
    Abstract: The present teaching relates to ranking search content. In one example, a plurality of documents is received to be ranked with respect to a query. Features are extracted from the query and the plurality of documents. The plurality of documents is ranked based on a ranking model and the extracted features. The ranking model is derived to remove one or more documents from the plurality of documents that are less relevant to the query and order remaining documents based on their relevance to the query. The ordered remaining documents are provided as a search result with respect to the query.

  • Publication number: 20220215345
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content providing and/or hosting systems supported by or configured with devices, servers and/or platforms. The disclosed systems and methods provide a novel framework that automatically labels and classifies incoming emails. The disclosed framework embodies a novel computerized taxonomy configured as a multi-tier, multi-label classification system. The first tier involves an offline grid classifier that has higher accuracy, and the second tier is an online classifier that classifies emails in real-time. Thus, the framework provides a novel approach to classifying messages based on a multi-tiered analysis, which is utilized for generating user profiles, delivering the messages, and the like.

  • Patent number: 11078565
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a solid-state battery device. The method can include providing a substrate within a process region of an apparatus. A cathode source and an anode source can be subjected to one or more energy sources to transfer thermal energy into a portion of the source materials to evaporate into a vapor phase. An ionic species from an ion source can be introduced and a thickness of solid-state battery materials can be formed overlying the surface region by interacting the gaseous species derived from the plurality of electrons and the ionic species. During formation of the thickness of the solid-state battery materials, the surface region can be maintained in a vacuum environment from about 10?6 to 10?4 Torr. Active materials comprising cathode, electrolyte, and anode with non-reactive species can be deposited for the formation of modified modulus layers, such a void or voided porous like materials.
