  • Patent number: 11902460
    Abstract: Systems and processes for providing, via an electronic device, suggested user actions. The suggested actions are provided in response to detecting an occurrence of a predefined event occurring in the user's day. The occurrence of the anchor is encoded in signals generated by the electronic device. The occurrence of the anchor is detectable via monitoring and analysis of electronic signals. Based on the user's previous interactions with the device, the occurrence of the anchor is indicative of user behavior and/or action taken in response to the anchor. Machine learning (ML) is employed to train an anchor model to associate actions taken in response to anchor occurrences. The trained anchor model is employed to detect anchors and provide suggested actions in response to the detected anchor occurrence. The suggested action is based on a type of anchor occurrence and contextual conditions of the anchor occurrences.

  • Patent number: 10621727
    Abstract: Systems of the present disclosure allow fields and labels to be identified in a digital image of a form without performing OCR. A digital image of a form can be partitioned into image segments using computer-vision image-segmentation techniques. Features for each image segment can be extracted using computer-vision feature-detection methods. The features extracted from an image segment can be included in an input instance for a machine-learning model. The machine-learning model can assign a classification to the input instance. The classification can associate the input instance with a field type or a label type.

  • Patent number: 9836664
    Abstract: A method and system identifies and addresses imaging artifacts in an image of a financial document to enable a software system to provide financial services based on the image of the financial document. The method and system receive document image data, extract image features from the document image data, and apply the image features to an analytics model to generate an image classification, according to one embodiment. The method and system use the image classification to determine whether the document image data contains one or more particular image artifacts (e.g., Moiré patterns), according to one embodiment. If the software system determines that it is likely that the document image data contains one or more particular image artifacts, then the software system applies a filter (e.g., a median filter) to the document image data to reduce and/or remove the one or more particular image artifacts, according to one embodiment.
