  • Patent number: 12007519
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a system and method for generating a subsurface model representing lithological characteristics and attributes of the subsurface of a celestial body or planet. By automatically ingesting data from many sources, a machine learning system can infer information about the characteristics of regions of the subsurface and build a model representing the subsurface rock properties. In some cases, this can provide information about a region using inferred data, where no direct measurements have been taken. Remote sensing data, such as aerial or satellite imagery, gravimetric data, magnetic field data, electromagnetic data, and other information can be readily collected or is already available at scale.

  • Publication number: 20240176943
    Abstract: The technology involves the auto-creation of custom standard cells. The process may include receiving specifications for implementing a set of functionalities in an integrated circuit to be fabricated. From this, the system identifies which cells are required to implement the set of functionalities. The identified cells are evaluated against a standard cell library stored in memory to determine which of the cells are not in the standard cell library. The system automatically creates the cells that are not in the standard cell library. The system can then utilize the automatically created cells to fabricate the integrated circuit. Benefits of such an approach include reduced design, development time and improved design quality of results. The resulting new cells may have fewer transistors, less area/power and improved performance than a standard cell from a preexisting library, especially since such standard cells would not necessarily be configurable to perform the desired functions.

  • Patent number: 11995842
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for image segmentation and chemical analysis using machine learning. In some implementations, a system obtains a hyperspectral image that includes a representation of an object. The system segments the hyperspectral image to identify regions of a particular type on the object. The system generates a set of feature values derived from image data for different wavelength bands that is located in the hyperspectral image in the identified regions of the particular type. The system generates a prediction of a level of one or more chemicals in the object based on an output produced by a machine learning model in response to the set of feature values being provided as input to the machine learning model. The system provides data indicating the prediction of the level of the one or more chemicals in the object.

  • Patent number: 11983554
    Abstract: Disclosed implementations relate to automating semantically-similar computing tasks across multiple contexts. In various implementations, an initial natural language input and a first plurality of actions performed using a first computer application may be used to generate a first task embedding and a first action embedding in action embedding space. An association between the first task embedding and first action embedding may be stored. Later, subsequent natural language input may be used to generate a second task embedding that is then matched to the first task embedding. Based on the stored association, the first action embedding may be identified and processed using a selected domain model to select actions to be performed using a second computer application. The selected domain model may be trained to translate between an action space of the second computer application and the action embedding space.
