Abstract: An image processing system or electronic device may implement processing circuitry. The processing circuitry may receive an image, such as financial document image. The processing circuitry may determine a character count for the financial document image or particular portions of the financial document image without recognizing any particular character in the financial document image. In that regard, the processing circuitry may determine a top left score for pixels in the financial document, the top left score indicating or representing a likelihood that a particular pixel corresponds to a top left corner of a text character. The processing circuitry may also determine top right score for image pixels. Then, the processing circuitry may identify one or more text chunks using the top left and top rights scores for pixels in the financial document image. The processing circuitry may determine a character count for the identified text chunks.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods of producing induced pluripotent (iPS), multipotent, and/or lineage-committed stem cells from differentiated cells, maintaining iPS, multipotent, and/or lineage-committed cells in culture, and re-differentiating the iPS and multipotent stem cells into any desired lineage-committed cell type.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for generating dynamic conversational responses. For example, dynamic conversational responses may facilitate an interactive exchange with users. Therefore, the methods and systems used specialized methods to enriched data that may be indicative of a user's intent prior to processing that data through the machine learning model, as well as a specialized architecture for the machine learning models that take advantage of the user interface format. For example, a first machine learning model may be trained using a multi-class cross entropy loss function, and a second machine learning model may be trained using a binary cross entropy loss function. A third output may be determined based on a weighted average of first and second outputs from the first and second machine learning models, and a subset of dynamic conversational responses may be generated based on the determined third output.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating augmented reality environments from 2D drawings are provided. The system performs a camera calibration process to determine how a camera transforms images from the real world into a 2D image plane. The system calculates a camera pose and determines an object position and an object orientation relative to a known coordinate system. The system detects and processes a 2D drawing/illustration and generates a 3D model from the 2D drawing/illustration. The system performs a rendering process, wherein the system generates an augmented reality environment which includes the 3D model superimposed on an image of the 2D drawing/illustration. The system can generate the augmented reality environment in real time, allowing the system to provide immediate feedback to the user. The images processed by the system can be from a video, from multiple image photography, etc.

Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein may quantify a representation of a type of input an image analysis system should expect. The image analysis system may be trained on the type of input the image analysis system should expect using a first image stream. A first model of the type of input that the image analysis system should expect may be built from the first image stream. After the first model is built, a second image, or a second image stream, may be compared to the first model to determine a difference between the second image, or second image stream, and the first image stream. When the difference is greater than or equal to a threshold, a drift may be detected and steps may be taken to determine the cause of the drift.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for synchronizing communication records in computer networks. For example, the methods and systems may determine whether or not a first communication relates to a second and generate a recommendation that the communications relate to a single communication. In particular, the methods and systems described herein describe synchronizing communication records in computer networks based on detecting patterns in categories of metadata. For example, the methods and systems retrieve specific types of metadata and compare this metadata between communications in order to synchronize and/or deduplicate them.

Abstract: A user can associate a digital asset corresponding to a value with a transaction device to be used by another user. For example, a first user can load a digital asset corresponding to a cryptocurrency amount onto a transaction device, where the first user then provides the transaction device to a second user. The second user can utilize the cryptocurrency amount on the transaction device to conduct a transaction. The generation and use of digital assets can be managed using ledgers that store data in the form of block chains.

Abstract: Methods and systems for parallelizing processes through the use of predicted data are described herein. A requesting system may send processing requests to a processing system. The processing system may need to have a third-party validation system validate the processing requests before proceeding. The processing system may detect errors and generate modified data that is predicted to resolve the errors in obtained processing requests. The modified data may be sent to the validation system in place of the original data that contained errors. While waiting for validation results from the validation system, the modified data may also be sent to the requesting system to confirm that it is correct. By sending the modified data to both the validation system and the requesting system for approval, increased efficiency and parallelization may be achieved.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, image-feature malicious-activity detection and access prevention may be facilitated, where an activity notification associated with a transaction triggers feature detection for at least one image related to a different transaction. In some embodiments, a first image (received in connection with a first transaction) may be associated with the first transaction, and a second image (received in connection with a second transaction) may be associated with a second transaction. In response to a malicious activity notification associated with the first transaction, an identifying characteristic (e.g., a facial feature) detected in the first image may be used to determine whether to prevent access to an account related to the second transaction. As an example, in response to determining that the identifying characteristic is present in the second image, access to the account related to the second transaction may be prevented.
