Patent number: 11710334Abstract: A bipartite application implements a table auto-completion (TAC) algorithm on the client side and the server side. A client module runs a local model of the TAC algorithm on a user device and a server module runs a global model of the TAC algorithm on a server machine. The local model is continuously adapted through on-the-fly training, with as few as a negative example, to perform TAC on the client side, one document at a time. Knowledge thus learned by the local model is used to improve the global model on the server side. The global model can be utilized to automatically and intelligently extract table information from a large number of documents with significantly improved accuracy, requiring minimal human intervention even on complex tables.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2022Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: OPEN TEXT SA ULCInventors: Matthias Theodor Middendorf, Gisela Barbara Cäcilie Hammann, Carsten Peust

Patent number: 11656749Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods that search videos and other media content to identify items, objects, faces, or other entities within the media content. Detectors identify objects within media content by, for instance, detecting a predetermined set of visual features corresponding to the objects. Detectors configured to identify an object can be trained using a machine learned model (e.g., a convolutional neural network) as applied to a set of example media content items that include the object. The systems provide user interfaces that allow users to review search results, pinpoint relevant portions of media content items where the identified objects are determined to be present, review detector performance and retrain detectors, providing search result feedback, and/or reviewing video monitoring results and analytics.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2022Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: MATROID, INC.Inventors: Reza Zadeh, Dong Wang, Deepak Menghani, John Goddard, Ryan Tobin

A processor receives a label assigned to the input by the statistical classifier and respective labels assigned by each micro classifier of the set of micro classifiers. A processor determines that the label assigned by the statistical classifier is the same as at least one label assigned by at least one micro classifier of the set of micro classifiers. A processor generates a natural language explanation for assigning the label using the at least one micro classifier and the label. A processor outputs the label and the natural language explanation to a user of a computing device.
