Abstract: Various aspects involve a lagged prediction model trained for risk assessment or other purposes. For instance, a risk assessment computing system receives a risk assessment query for a target entity and provides an input predictor record for the target entity to a lagged prediction model. The input predictor record includes a first group of lagged values from a first time-series attribute associated with the target entity. The lagged prediction model is trained by implementing a group feature selection technique configured to select the first time-series attribute as input and to deselect a second time-series attribute associated with the target entity. The risk assessment computing system computes an output risk indicator from the input predictor record and transmits the output risk indicator to a remote computing system. The output risk indicator can be used to control access by the target entity to one or more interactive computing environments.

In embodiments, a joint distance metric incorporating various loss terms is used to measure distances of a predicated fact to all candidate facts. In embodiments, the fact with the minimum distance is returned as the answer. Embodiments of a joint training strategy are also disclosed for better performance. Performance evaluation on various datasets demonstrates the effectiveness of the disclosed systems and methods using the KEQA framework.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a device for detecting a wavefront error by modal-based optimization phase retrieval using an extended Nijboer-Zernike (ENZ) theory. The detection device includes a point light source (1), a half mirror (2), a lens (3) to be tested, a plane mirror (4) and an image sensor (5). The wavefront error of the component under test is characterized by using a Zernike polynomial, and a Zernike polynomial coefficient is solved based on an ENZ diffraction theory. The present disclosure realizes the one-time full-aperture measurement on the wavefront error of a large-aperture optical component, and can use a partially overexposed image to achieve accurate wavefront error retrieval. Meanwhile, the present disclosure overcomes the contradiction between underexposure and high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) caused by a limited dynamic range when the image sensor (5) acquires an image. The detection device is simple and does not have high requirements for the experimental environment.
