  • Patent number: 11947914
    Abstract: In embodiments of the present disclosure, there is provided an approach for fact checking based on semantic graphs. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, after obtaining a text to be fact checked, a plurality of evidence sentences related to the text are retrieved from an evidence database. Then, semantic graphs of the text and the evidence sentences are constructed based on the semantic analysis, and a veracity of a statement in the text can be determined based on the semantic graphs. Embodiments of the present disclosure propose a graph-based reasoning approach for fact checking, and use the constructed semantic graphs to facilitate verification of the truthfulness of the text, thereby improving the accuracy for fact checking.

  • Publication number: 20240096285
    Abstract: A display may include an array of pixels. A pixel can include an organic light-emitting diode, up to three thin-film transistors, and up to two capacitors. The pixel can include a drive transistor, an emission transistor, and a select transistor. The select transistor can be used to apply a reference voltage to the gate of the drive transistor during a global reset phase and during a global threshold voltage sampling phase and can also be used to apply a data voltage to the gate of the drive transistor during a data programming phase. The drive transistor can receive a power supply voltage that toggles between a low voltage during the global reset phase and a high voltage during other phases of operation. Configured and operated in this way, the pixel need not include separate dedicated anode reset and initialization transistors.

  • Publication number: 20240069976
    Abstract: A serverless computing-based, continuous gateway watch of a data store for data change process is provided. The process includes the gateway interface of the computing environment receiving a watch request from a user system to monitor the data store for data change. Based on receiving the watch request, the gateway interface invokes a serverless setup service to establish a connection between the gateway interface and the data store of the computing environment to be monitored for data change. Based on receiving, at the gateway interface, a data change indication from the data store, the gateway interface invokes a serverless message process service to mutate the data change indication from the data store into a mutated data change message indicative of a data change at the data store for return to the user system pursuant to the watch request, with the serverless message process service terminating thereafter.

  • Publication number: 20240038872
    Abstract: Gate profile tuning techniques are disclosed herein. An exemplary gate profile tuning method includes forming a gate structure over a channel layer. The gate structure includes a dummy gate and gate spacers disposed along sidewalls of the dummy gate. The method further includes partially removing the dummy gate to form a gate opening that defines a gate profile. The gate profile is then modified by treating portions of the gate spacers (for example, by oxygen plasma treatment) and removing the treated portions of the gate spacers (for example, by oxide removal). After removing a remainder of the dummy gate to expose the channel layer, a gate stack of the gate structure is formed in the gate opening. The gate stack has a funnel-shaped profile. In some embodiments, a width of the gate stack above the channel layer is greater than a width of the gate stack below the channel layer.
