Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory and processor. The memory stores document categories, text generated from an image a physical document page, and a machine learning algorithm. The text includes errors associated with noise in the image. The machine learning algorithm is configured to extract features associated with natural language processing and features associated with the errors from the text. The machine learning algorithm is also configured to generate a feature vector that includes the first and second pluralities of features, and to generate, based on the feature vector, a set of probabilities, each of which is associated with a document category and indicates a probability that the physical document from which the text was generated belongs to that document category. The processor applies the machine learning algorithm to the text, to generate the set of probabilities, identifies a largest probability, and assigns the image to the associated document category.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory and processor. The memory stores OCR and NLP algorithms. The processor receives an image of a physical document page and executes the OCR algorithm to convert the image into text. The processor identifies errors in the text, which are associated with noise in the image. The processor generates a feature vector that includes features obtained by executing the NLP algorithm on the text, and features associated with the identified errors in the text. The processor uses the feature vector to assign the image to a document category. Documents assigned to the document category share one or more characteristics, and the feature vector is associated with a probability greater than a threshold that the physical document associated with the image includes those characteristics. The processor then stores the image in a database as a page of an electronic document belonging to the assigned document category.

Abstract: A decentralized training platform is described for training an Artificial Intelligence (AI) model where training data (e.g., medical images) is distributed across multiple sites (nodes) and due to confidentiality, legal, or other reasons the data at each site is unable to be shared or leave the site and so cannot be copied to a central location for training. The method comprises training a teacher model locally at each node and then moving each of the teacher models to a central node and using these to train a student model using a transfer dataset. This may be facilitated by setting up the cloud service using inter-region peering connections between the nodes to make the nodes appear as a single cluster. In one variation the student module may be trained at each node using the multiple trained teacher models.

Abstract: An Artificial Intelligence (AI) based computational system is used to non-invasively estimate the presence of a range of aneuploidies and mosaicism in an image of embryo prior to implantation. Aneuploidies and mosaicism with similar risks of adverse outcomes are grouped and training images are labelled with their group. Separate AI models are trained for each group using the same training dataset and the separate models are then combined, such as by using an Ensemble or Distillation approach to develop a model that can identify a wide range of aneuploidy and mosaicism risks. The AI model for a group is generated by training multiple models including binary models, hierarchical layered models and a multi-class model. In particular the hierarchical layered models are generated by assigning quality labels to images. At each layer the training set is partitioned in the best quality images and other images.

Abstract: A technique for powering gate drivers in a half-bridge configuration uses a single external power supply to power each gate driver. A single on-chip regulator regulates the positive turn-on voltage for each switch. The regulator overhead, is also used as the negative voltage for turn-off, thus transferring the low-frequency variation of the external power supply to the negative turn-off voltage. Accordingly, a single on-chip regulator generates both the positive turn-on voltage and the negative turn-off voltage. In at least one embodiment, reuse of the switch turn-off current further reduces on-chip power dissipation. The on-chip regulator's output filter capacitor discharges during turn-on of the external power switching device. During turn-off, the current that discharges the switch gate capacitance recharges the regulator filter capacitor.
