Abstract: Generally, the present disclosure is directed to systems and methods that generate augmented training data for machine-learned models via application of one or more augmentation techniques to audiographic images that visually represent audio signals. In particular, the present disclosure provides a number of novel augmentation operations which can be performed directly upon the audiographic image (e.g., as opposed to the raw audio data) to generate augmented training data that results in improved model performance. As an example, the audiographic images can be or include one or more spectrograms or filter bank sequences.

Abstract: Described are systems and methods for assessing a dental insurance claim. The system receives a dental image and dental information for a dental claim, with the dental image and dental information being associated with a patient. The system then determines a plurality of features of the dental image, and detects anomalies based on the features of the dental image. Next, the system compares the dental information of the patient with the plurality of features of the dental image associated with the patient. Finally, the system generates a claim summary based on the comparison of the dental information with the plurality of features of the dental image.
