Abstract: Embodiments are directed to an assistive robot system. The assistive robot system includes a lifting mechanism, a movable arm assembly coupled to the lifting mechanism, a container tilting arm assembly, a processing device communicatively coupled to the lifting mechanism and the movable arm assembly, and a non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium in communication with the processing device. The non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium causes the processing device to transmit a command to the lifting mechanism to cause the lifting mechanism to move the movable arm assembly such that the container tilting arm assembly makes contact with a container and transmits one or more signals to the movable arm assembly to cause the movable arm assembly to extend in a system longitudinal direction such that the container within the movable arm assembly is pivoted against the container tilting assembly to tilt the container within the movable arm assembly.

Abstract: Text profiles can be leveraged to select and configure models according to some examples described herein. In one example, a system can analyze a reference textual dataset and a target textual dataset using text-mining techniques to generate a first text profile and a second text profile, respectively. The first text profile can contain first metrics characterizing the reference textual dataset and the second text profile can contain second metrics characterizing the target textual dataset. The system can determine a similarity value by comparing the first text profile to the second text profile. The system can also receive a user selection of a model that is to be applied to the target textual dataset. The system can then generate an insight relating to an anticipated accuracy of the model on the target textual dataset based on the similarity value. The system can output the insight to the user.

Abstract: Compositions containing a nucleic acid nanostructure having a desired geometric shape and antigens bound to its surface are provided. The nanostructures can be, for example, in the form of a 6-helix bundle or icosahedron.
