Patent number: 12002080Abstract: There are provided systems and methods relating to checking and confirming merchandise purchased at shopping facilities. In one form, the system includes: a shopping cart containing merchandise items to be purchased; a sales transaction database; a point-of-sales system that creates transaction records identified by transaction identifiers; and a mobile device used by an employee that includes a sensor to scan a paper or digital receipt to obtain the transaction identifier and a camera to capture images of the items in the shopping cart. The system also includes a control circuit that receives the transaction identifier, accesses the database using the identifier to determine the purchased items; analyzes the images of the merchandise items in the shopping cart and creates a computer vision receipt listing detected items; compares the purchased items with the detected items; and takes an action if there is a discrepancy.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2020Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignee: Walmart Apollo, LLCInventors: Zhichun Xiao, Lingfeng Zhang, Yao Liu, Jon Hammer, Yutao Tang, Sicong Fang, Haining Liu, Yijing Sun, Mingquan Yuan, Shouyi Zhang, Pingjian Yu, Ryan B.

Publication number: 20240152771Abstract: Tabular data machine-learning model techniques and systems are described. In one example, common-sense knowledge is infused into training data through use of a knowledge graph to provide external knowledge to supplement a tabular data corpus. In another example, a dual-path architecture is employed to configure an adapter module. In an implementation, the adapter module is added as part of a pre-trained machine-learning model for general purpose tabular models. Specifically, dual-path adapters are trained using the knowledge graphs and semantically augmented trained data. A path-wise attention layer is applied to fuse a cross-modality representation of the two paths for a final result.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2022Publication date: May 9, 2024Applicant: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Can Qin, Sungchul Kim, Tong Yu, Ryan A.

Publication number: 20240144064Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for pruning quantum calculational results. The results of quantum calculations performed by a quantum circuit of a quantum computer are received, such as for each shot. A measured state of a quantum bit of a result of the quantum calculation is then compared with an expected value. If the compared measured state of the quantum bit of the result of the quantum calculation matches the expected value, then the result of the quantum calculation is not discarded. If, however, the measured state of the quantum bit of the result of the quantum calculation does not match the expected value, then the result of the quantum calculation is discarded. In this manner, the size of the full result (compilation of multiple shot results) is reduced thereby reducing the amount of classical data that needs to be stored, interpreted and transported.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Ryan Woo, Jessie Yu, Atsuko Shimizu, Diego Moreda Rodriguez

Patent number: 11713973Abstract: A network computer service can receive a service request associated with a first service location. Additionally, the network computer service can detect a user action to associate the service request with a second service location. In some examples, the user input can be detected on a user device. In other examples, the second service location can be different from the first service location. Moreover, the network computer service can determine the second service location satisfies a predetermined permissibility criterion for permitting change of the first service location to the second service location. In response to determining the second service location satisfies the predetermined permissibility criterion, the network computer service can transmit an instruction to cause a device to associate the service request with the second service location in place of the first service location.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2021Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ryan Yu, John Nathaniel Ford

Publication number: 20220005110Abstract: A system can receive input data from an application running on a computing device of a requesting user. The input data can correspond to a set of alphanumeric characters provided in a search box presented on a user interface of the application. In response to receiving the input data, the system can execute a federated search by providing search data corresponding to the set of alphanumeric characters to multiple search engines operated by the computing system, each search engine pertaining to a specific service option of multiple service options that are accessible via the application. The system can obtain and process search results from the multiple search engines based on the search data in accordance with a unification protocol to generate a unified search result. The system may then transmit data enabling the application to present a selectable user interface feature for each result of the unified search result.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2020Publication date: January 6, 2022Inventors: Andrew Martin Warr, Joost van der Ree, Ryan Yu, Wesley KaiJie Leung
