  • Publication number: 20240404624
    Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, non-transitory computer-readable media, and systems that can (i) identify reads that align with at least some portion of alternative contiguous sequences representing structural variant haplotypes within a structural variant reference genome and (ii) generate a structural-variant-alignment tag within an alignment file for such read alignments to guide identifying candidate structural-variant locations. In addition to employing structural-variant-alignment tags, the disclosed systems identify read fragments that align or overlap with portions of alternate contiguous sequences representing an insertion (or other structural variant) and further masks such insertion-overlapping read fragments as part of an alignment file.

  • Publication number: 20240404238
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for vector-quantized image modeling using vision transformers and improved codebook handling. In particular, the present disclosure provides a Vector-quantized Image Modeling (VIM) approach that involves pre-training a machine learning model (e.g., Transformer model) to predict rasterized image tokens autoregressively. The discrete image tokens can be encoded from a learned Vision-Transformer-based VQGAN (example implementations of which can be referred to as ViT-VQGAN). The present disclosure proposes multiple improvements over vanilla VQGAN from architecture to codebook learning, yielding better efficiency and reconstruction fidelity. The improved ViT-VQGAN further improves vector-quantized image modeling tasks, including unconditional image generation, conditioned image generation (e.g., class-conditioned image generation), and unsupervised representation learning.

  • Publication number: 20240399684
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for producing embedded diffractive contact lenses involving use of a mold set in two-curing steps. The mold set consists of three mold halves, one of which is used twice, the first time for molding a diffractive insert and the second time for an embedded contact lens with the molded diffractive insert embedded therein. The twice-used mold half has been treated with a corona plasma or a vacuum UV in a central circular area having a diameter equal to or smaller than the diameter of the insert to ensure that the molded insert consistently adheres to the twice-used mold half, even though the other mating insert mold half for molding the diffractive insert has a great tendency to bind strongly the molded insert due to the diffractive structure on its molding surface.
