Abstract: Pathogens invade and infect humans. Understanding the infection mechanism is essential for determining targets for new therapeutics. Existing methods provide too many false positive results. A method and system for predicting protein-protein interaction between a host and a pathogen has been provided. The disclosure provides a pipeline for predicting HPIs, which is a combination of biological knowledge-based filters, domain-based filter and sequence-based predictions. Biologically feasible interactions are only possible when both the proteins share common localization and overlapping expression profiles. This observation was used as the first filter to remove biologically irrelevant HPIs. Proteins interact with each other through domains. Both interacting and non-interacting protein pairs provide valuable information about the probability of protein-protein interactions and hence both were used to derive statistical inferences to remove improbable HPIs.

Abstract: Traditional food quality monitoring systems fail to monitor the variation of food quality in real-time scenarios. Existing machine learning approaches require dedicated data models for different classes of food items due to differences in characteristics of different food items. Also, to generate such data models, a lot of annotated data is required per food item, which are expensive.

The system generates a data model using a knowledge graph indicative of a hierarchical taxonomy for a plurality of categories of the plurality of food items, which in turn contains metadata representing similarities in physio-chemical degradation pattern of different classes of the food items. This data model serves as a generic data model for real-time shelf-life prediction of different food items.

Abstract: Conventionally, root cause analysis and process documentation in process industries has been manually performed resulting in time consuming effort, cost, and human resources. Moreover, in the event of failure, looking at such document and searching for possible root causes is practically impossible in the interest of time and cost associated. Systems and methods of the present disclosure systematically curate knowledge of industrial process(es) from various sources and generate process ontology via meta model(s). Root cause graph (RCG) is created wherein the RCG corresponds to process and root cause and failure modes in the process. The RCG is then transformed to machine instructions which are executed for root cause analysis in real time. The created graphs/knowledge also help in identifying conflicting knowledge or redundant knowledge. Present disclosure enables root cause analysis as soon as a failure occurs or as the systems show or indicate a tendency towards failure.

A system and method for designing artificially structured materials have been provided. The system and method is based on neural networks for approximating the electromagnetic (EM) responses of the artificially structured materials. By treating the EM spectral data as time-varying sequences and the inverse problem as a single-input, multi-output model, the architecture is forced to learn the geometry of the designs from the training data as opposed to abstract features thereby addressing both the forward and the inverse design problems.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and system for co-operative and cascaded inference on the edge device using an integrated Deep Learning (DL) model for object detection and localization, which comprises a strong classifier trained on largely available datasets and a weak localizer trained on scarcely available datasets, and work in coordination to first detect object (fire) in every input frame using the classifier, and then trigger a localizer only for the frames that are classified as fire frames. The classifier and the localizer of the integrated DL model are jointly trained using Multitask Learning approach. Works in literature hardly address the technical challenge of embedding such integrated DL model to be deployed on edge devices. The method provides an optimal hardware software partitioning approach for components or segments of the integrated DL model which achieves a tradeoff between latency and accuracy in object classification and localization.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to long-form answer extraction and, more particularly, to long-form answer extraction based on combination of sentence index generation techniques. Existing answer extractions techniques have achieved significant progress for extractive short answers; however, less progress has been made for long form questions that require explanations. Further the state-of-art long-answer extractions techniques result in poorer long-form answers or not address sparsity which becomes an issue longer contexts. Additionally, pre-trained generative sequence-to-sequence models are gaining popularity for factoid answer extraction tasks. Hence the disclosure proposes a long-form answer extraction based on several steps including training a set of generative sequence-to-sequence models comprising a sentence indices generation model and a sentence index spans generation.

Abstract: Simulation of dynamic physical systems is done using iterative solvers. However, this iterative process is a time consuming and compute intensive process and, for a given set of simulation parameters, the solution does not always converge to a physically meaningful solution, resulting in huge waste of man hours and computation resource. Embodiments herein provide a method and system for stabilizing a diverged numerical simulation and accelerating a converged numerical simulation by changing one or more control parameters. An automatic monitoring mechanism of residue history (to interpret convergence or divergence) and a subsequent control logic to auto-tune the under-relaxation factor would help in stabilizing a diverging simulation and reaching faster convergence by accelerating converging simulation.
