  • Patent number: 12387404
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for generating memes and enhanced content in electronic communication. The communication is received, analyzed, and assessed for determining whether the enhanced content should be included in the communication. A content, context, intent, and/or mood of the communication is determined. For meme generation implementations, images and captions are generated based on the communication. Some candidate memes incorporate an image of one of the participants in the communication. Enhanced content candidates are generated and presented to the user for inclusion in the communication. Artificial intelligence systems, including neural networks, and models are utilized to improve the enhanced content generation. Related apparatuses, devices, techniques, and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 12386866
    Abstract: To facilitate efficient entity resolution, systems and methods include a first dataset is received from a first database associated with a first entity and a second dataset is received from a second database associated with a second entity. A geo-grid is mapped to a geographical area covering the first entity data records and the second entity data records. A grid matching area in the geo-grid is generated for each first entity data record based on latitude data and longitude data of each first entity data record. Candidate matching records are determined from the second entity data records based on respective grid matching areas. Actual matching records are determined from the candidate matching records based on a threshold for a trigram similarity between each candidate matching record and the respective first entity data record. The actual matching records are associated with the respective first entity data record in the first database.

  • Patent number: 12374011
    Abstract: An interactive data object map system is disclosed in which large amounts of geographical, geospatial, and other types of data, geodata, objects, features, and/or metadata are efficiently presented to a user on a map interface. The interactive data object map system allows for rapid and deep analysis of various objects, features, and/or metadata by the user. A layer ontology may be displayed to the user. In various embodiments, when the user rolls a selection cursor over an object/feature an outline of the object/feature is displayed. Selection of an object/feature may cause display of metadata associated with that object/feature. The interactive data object map system may automatically generate feature/object lists and/or histograms based on selections made by the user. The user may perform geosearches, generate heatmaps, and/or perform keyword searches, among other actions.

  • Patent number: 12373167
    Abstract: A filter multiplexer for variable bandwidth annealing selection is described. The filter multiplexer has multiple pathways, where each pathway comprises a switch and a filter. Each filter has a different cutoff frequency from the other filters. Switches may be cryogenic switches. Each pathway may be communicatively coupled to an external annealing line. Upon receiving a problem, an annealing bandwidth can be selected, set or configured via the multiplexer to operate a quantum processor with a desired annealing schedule. The multiplexer may be used for calibration of a quantum processor by performing a calibration with a large annealing bandwidth, then calibrating the quantum processor by iterating through all available annealing bandwidths from the multiplexer.
