  • Patent number: 12361214
    Abstract: There is disclosed a computer-implemented method for detecting machine-generated documents in a collection of documents including machine-generated and human-authored documents. The computer-implemented method includes computing a set of long-repeated substrings (such as super-maximal repeats) with respect to the collection of documents and using a subset of the long-repeated substrings to designate documents containing the subset of the repeated substrings as machine-generated. The documents designated as machine-generated serve as positive examples of machine-generated documents and a set of documents including at least one human-authored document serves as negative examples of machine-generated documents. A plurality of classifiers are trained with a dataset including both the positive and negative examples of machine-generated documents. Classified output of the classifiers is then used to detect an extent to which a given document of the dataset is machine-generated.

  • Publication number: 20250164966
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for determining a policy to recommend transition in a position-representing space for a robotic device using a multi-critic architecture. To learn policy in a multi-critic architecture, a set of critics is defined pertaining to a position-representing space where each critic corresponds to a different objective function such as reach-reward, discovery-reward, and safety-reward. For each one of the critics of the set of critics, a learned value function in position-representing space is determined. The policy is learned based on the weighted feedback of the learned value functions to recommend transitions that are safe in the position-representing space. The multi-critic architecture minimizes interference between multiple reward functions and learns a safe and stable policy for the robotic device.

Pursuant to the initial application, the computer determines that one or more labels have been misclassified. Responsive to such determination, the computer changes the first loss function to a second loss function to form a second classifier including the second loss function. The computer then applies the dataset to the second classifier for enabling correction of the one or more misclassified labels.
