  • Patent number: 11971918
    Abstract: A calculation unit (15a) calculates a degree of association between words included in compound word candidates that are each constituted by consecutive words in a document. The calculation unit (15a) calculates the degree of association by using a conditional probability that is a probability of a word that precedes a last word being present in the document under the condition that the last word follows. A selection unit (15b) selects, as a compound word, a compound word candidate whose degree of association thus calculated is higher than a predetermined threshold value. A learning unit (15c) learns a positional relationship between words that include the selected compound word in the document and predetermined tags added to the document. An addition unit (15d) adds the predetermined tags to the document based on the positional relationship between words that include the learned compound word in the document and the predetermined tags added to the document.

  • Patent number: 11748976
    Abstract: A plant treatment platform uses a plant detection model to detect plants as the plant treatment platform travels through a field. The plant treatment platform receives image data from a camera that captures images of plants (e.g., crops or weeds) growing in the field. The plant treatment platform applies pre-processing functions to the image data to prepare the image data for processing by the plant detection model. For example, the plant treatment platform may reformat the image data, adjust the resolution or aspect ratio, or crop the image data. The plant treatment platform applies the plant detection model to the pre-processed image data to generate bounding boxes for the plants. The plant treatment platform then can apply treatment to the plants based on the output of the machine-learned model.

    Abstract: A system and a method for regulating charging and discharging of an energy storage device as part of an electrical power distribution network is described. The invention is a smart control algorithm for a bi-directional switch in which an energy storage device, such as a battery set, is charged when electricity prices are low and discharged when electricity prices are high. The invention uses two different types of pricing data: forecasted price data and real-time price data. The forecasted price data is used to set a threshold. When the real-time price data of electricity exceeds this threshold, the energy storage device is set to discharge and send power to the grid. Otherwise the energy storage device is set to charge. The threshold is set periodically, typically in 30 minute to several hour intervals to capture the latest data.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes determining a current state and a current context of an environment in which an automated agent runs to execute a contingent plan. The state indicates that one or more fluents of a plurality of fluents are true, and the plurality of fluents are associated with a contingent problem solved by the contingent plan. The context describes values corresponding to the one or more fluents. An action is performed with respect to at least a subset of the context. A nondeterministic effect of the action on the environment is evaluated, using a computer processor. The state is updated based on the nondeterministic effect. The context is updated based on the nondeterministic effect.
