Abstract: This document describes techniques and devices for a radar recognition-aided search. Through use of a radar-based recognition system, gestures made by, and physiological information about, persons can be determined. In the case of physiological information, the techniques can use this information to refine a search. For example, if a person requests a search for a coffee shop, the techniques may refine the search to coffee shops in the direction that the person is walking. In the case of a gesture, the techniques may refine or base a search solely on the gesture. Thus, a search for information about a store, car, or tree can be made responsive to a gesture pointing at the store, car, or tree with or without explicit entry of a search query.

Abstract: A method includes generating a content entigen group for content using identigen pairing rules. The method further includes obtaining a contradicting entigen group based on the content entigen group. The method further includes updating the knowledge database to include the content entigen group. A contradicted entigen of the content entigen group is established to indicate duplication of a contradicted entigen of the contradicting entigen group.

Abstract: Systems and methods for ranking user interface elements using explainability vectors. The system receives training data for a ranking machine learning model. The training data comprises values for a first set of features. The system trains the ranking machine learning model using the training data. The system processes the ranking model to extract an explainability vector. Based on the explainability vector, the system processes the first set of features to generate a second set of features. The system processes the second set of features and the output of the predictive machine learning model to generate an explanative factor and trains a ranking model using the explanative factor and a third set of features. The system receives as output from the ranking model a vector indicating display positions and rankings of user interface elements.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided for determining a bid value for placing an advertisement onto advertising space available through an electronic marketplace. A method is used for calculating the option value of maintaining the advertisement in the advertising space during one or more periods of time. The option value may be based on expected profits and the estimated future value of maintaining the advertisement. The option value may then be used to calculate the bid price for placing the advertisement.

Abstract: The technical solutions described herein are systems and methods for adjustable surgical guides, virtual planning, and surgical navigation. The system can process preoperative image data of a glenoid, generate a virtual representation of the glenoid face, and maintain a virtual model of a surgical guide. The system can present the virtual representation and the surgical guide in a user interface, determine version and inclination angles for the surgical guide, and adjust the surgical guide's position or orientation. The system can assess virtual plan data, communicate the data to a surgical system, translate the data into movement commands, and execute the movement commands for drilling. The system can access an intraoperative image of the glenoid face, identify the position of a drilling instrument, generate an image to determine the spatial relationship between the instrument and the virtual representation, and present a dynamic visual indicator to guide drilling.

Abstract: A computing system for monitoring language model compliance with a rubric of one or more output characteristics. The computing system includes processing circuitry configured to interface with a trained generative language model that receives input of a prompt including natural language text input and, in response, generates an output that includes natural language text output. The processing circuitry is further configured to monitor compliance of the generative language model with the rubric, by feeding the output of the generative language model to a rubric classifier configured to generate a predicted classification for an output characteristic in the rubric, and output the predicted classification.

Abstract: Systems and methods for answering queries by applying deductive reasoning using a data structure based on knowledge derived from sensory data are provided. A method may include acquiring multimodal sensory data and extracting a plurality of salient features of the one or more objects. Data structures that associate one or more essential characteristics with each of the plurality of salient features may be created and the spatial relationships among the one or more objects in visual scenes may be mapped. An ontology that encompasses the typical relationships among the classes of objects in a plurality of datasets may be created and one or more axioms may be established.

Abstract: A method executed by a computing device includes determining to extend knowledge within a knowledge database for an object represented by linked entigens of an entigen group based on a deficiency of the entigen group. The method further includes determining a set of identigens for each word of a phrase associated with the object to produce sets of identigens. The method further includes interpreting the sets of identigens to determine a most likely meaning interpretation of the phrase and produce a new entigen group. The method further includes updating the entigen group utilizing the new entigen group to produce a curated entigen group such that a deficiency of the entigen group is resolved providing more accurate and more complete knowledge of the object.
