    Abstract: Technologies for unsupervised data classification include a computing device that generates a high dimensional profile for each column of a data store that is indicative of topological features of the column. The computing device also analyzes each column using multiple predetermined profiling rules and generates an initial classification for the columns based on profiling rule results. The initial classification may be applied to related columns based on clustering of the columns using the high dimensional profile. The computing device may train a machine learning model based on the initial classification and the high dimensional profile. Input features for training may include the profiling rule results and the high dimensional profile. Classifications may be provided to client devices via a predetermined interface.

  • Patent number: 11794406
    Abstract: A method of forming a three-dimensional structure of liquid crystal (LC) elastomers includes contacting a resin layer of LC oligomers with a layer of photoalignment material, and exposing a portion of photoalignment material to light for aligning the portion of photoalignment material in a first orientation. The LC oligomers adjacent the illuminated portion of photoalignment material align to the first orientation of the illuminated portion. The portion of aligned LC oligomers of the resin layer are cured. Operations for forming additional layers include creating a relative movement of the resin layer away from the photoalignment material, contacting another resin layer with the photoalignment material, and exposing another portion of photoalignment material to light for aligning the photoalignment material in a different orientation.

  • Patent number: 11794785
    Abstract: Generally, the disclosed systems and methods utilize multi-task machine-learned models for object intention determination in autonomous driving applications. For example, a computing system can receive sensor data obtained relative to an autonomous vehicle and map data associated with a surrounding geographic environment of the autonomous vehicle. The sensor data and map data can be provided as input to a machine-learned intent model. The computing system can receive a jointly determined prediction from the machine-learned intent model for multiple outputs including at least one detection output indicative of one or more objects detected within the surrounding environment of the autonomous vehicle, a first corresponding forecasting output descriptive of a trajectory indicative of an expected path of the one or more objects towards a goal location, and/or a second corresponding forecasting output descriptive of a discrete behavior intention determined from a predefined group of possible behavior intentions.

  • Patent number: 11797529
    Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to providing a subsidiary application GUI via a client interface. The GUI can be rendered when a user is accessing a first party system via an application that is provided by the first party or a separate entity. The subsidiary application GUI can be rendered in response to the user providing a search query to the first party server—such as a search query that is in furtherance of initializing receiving certain search results. The server can identify, based on the search query, one or more entities that offer primary and/or subsidiary applications, and request subsidiary data for visibly rendering corresponding subsidiary applications for each entity. The subsidiary applications can optionally provide access to application functions that would not otherwise be available at the client without a corresponding application being installed.
