Publication number: 20240153490Abstract: A system may include processor(s), and memory in communication with the processor(s) and storing instructions configured to cause the system to correct ASR errors. The system may receive a transcription comprising transcribed word(s) and may determine whether the transcribed word(s) exceed associated predefined confidence level(s). Responsive to determining a transcribed word does not exceed a predefined confidence level, the system may generate a predicted word. The system may calculate a distance between numerical representations of the transcribed word and the predicted word and may determine whether the distance exceeds a predefined threshold. Responsive to determining the distance exceeds the predefined threshold, the system may determine whether at least one red flag word of a list of red flag words corresponds to a context of the transcription, and, responsive to making that determination, may classify the transcription as associated with a first category.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2024Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Aysu Ezen Can, Feng Qiu, Guadalupe Bonilla, Meredith Leigh Critzer, Michael Mossoba, Alexander Lin, Tyler Maiman, Mia Rodriguez, Vahid Khanagha, Joshua Edwards

Publication number: 20240152997Abstract: In some implementations, a credit decision platform may receive a credit request from an applicant and obtain domestic historical data associated with the applicant from a credit bureau device. The credit decision platform may obtain access to an email account associated with the applicant based on determining that the domestic historical data associated with the applicant is insufficient to process the credit request. The credit decision platform may identify, using one or more machine learning models, a set of email messages included in the email account that are relevant to the credit request and may analyze content included in the set of email messages to generate non-domestic historical data associated with the applicant. The credit decision platform may generate a decision on the credit request based on an estimated creditworthiness of the applicant, which may be determined based on the non-domestic historical data.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2024Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Lin Ni Lisa CHENG, Joshua EDWARDS, Phoebe ATKINS, Max MIRACOLO, Cruz VARGAS, Brian MCCLANAHAN, Alexander LIN, Louis BUELL, Michael MOSSOBA

Patent number: 11947041Abstract: In an optical detection system, a coded transmission scheme can be used to provide scene illumination. For example, a transmitter can include transmit elements that can be controlled individually or in groups to provide specified modulated (e.g., on-off-keyed) waveforms corresponding to specified transmit code sequences. Light reflected or scattered by an object can be detected by an optical receiver, such as a single-pixel detector. Contributions to the received optical signal corresponding to the respective transmit code sequences can be separated using a correlation-based technique, even when such contributions overlap in time. Regions of a field-of-regard illuminated by ones or groups of the transmit elements can be selected or adjusted, such as to provide controllable spatial (e.g., angular) selectivity of which portions of the field-of-regard are illuminated by particular transmit signals.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2019Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Analog Devices, Inc.Inventor: Alexander Edward Policht

Patent number: 11829794Abstract: A vendor of virtual machine images accesses a virtual computer system service to upload a digitally signed virtual machine image to a data store usable by customers of the virtual computer system service to select an image for creating a virtual machine instance. If a digital certificate is uploaded along with the virtual machine image, the virtual computer system service may determine whether the digital certificate has been trusted for use. If the digital certificate has been trusted for use, the virtual computer system service may use a public cryptographic key to decrypt a hash signature included with the image to obtain a first hash value. The service may additionally apply a hash function to the image itself to obtain a second hash value. If the two hash values match, then the virtual machine image may be deemed to be authentic.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2022Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Jeffrey Doane, Alexander Edward Schoof, Robert Eric Fitzgerald, Todd Lawrence Cignetti
