Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a four-dimensional (4D) recommendation system for training and implementing a 4D recommendation model to provide health-related recommendation for an individual that is a subject of a volumetric capture performed by a calibrated multi-camera system. In particular, the 4D recommendation system may capture 4D data objects including time-series three-dimensional models and associated annotations and generate a knowledge base including a collection of 4D data objects stored thereon. An input 4D data object may be obtained and compared to the collection of 4D data objects to determine one or more recommendations for the input 4D data object related to the health status of the individual.

Abstract: A computer completes a data image analysis task. The computer receives a machine learning (ML) model trained for use with image data content characterized by first context. The computer receives an evaluation image dataset having evaluation image data content characterized by a second context. The computer receives a request to complete an image data analysis task for the evaluation image dataset using the ML model. The computer compares the contexts to determine whether the contexts are similar and whether the evaluation image dataset is compatible with the ML model. If the evaluation dataset is incompatible with the ML model, the computer uses the generative model to generate a ML model compatible synthetic image dataset based on the evaluation dataset. The computer applies the ML model to the synthetic image dataset to provide an answer for the data image analysis task; the computer delivers the answer to a user interface.

Abstract: Method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided for retrieving analogues using topological knowledge representation (TKR). In some embodiments, a TKR input query is built and/or validated using a domain-specific knowledge base (KB). A search database containing candidate analogues and corresponding pre-built TKRs is then searched to retrieve at least one analogue of the TKR input query using statistical analysis. In some embodiments, a system may build the TKR input query based on a seismic dataset. For example, the system may receive a seismic dataset, segment the seismic dataset and classify each region using a computer vision (CV) database and the KB, and build the TKR input query based on the segmented and classified seismic dataset. In some embodiments, the TKR input query may be input and/or edited by a user. For example, the TKR input query may be input and/or edited by the user and validated using the KB.

Abstract: Data associated with a region, acquired by a robot may be passed to a previously trained classifier. The classifier outputs a classification label L, and a confidence score C. Responsive to determining that the confidence score C is below a threshold T, the acquired data can be added to a training data set associated with the classifier, and the classifier retrained using the training data set which include at least information from the acquired data. Responsive to determining that the confidence score C is below the threshold T, at least one candidate region having characteristic similarity to the region can be identified. Responsive to determining that the confidence score C is not below the threshold T, at least one candidate region having a different characteristic from the region can be identified. The robot may be caused to acquire data associated with the candidate region.

Abstract: A real-time route determination system includes one or more communication devices in signal communication with a route server system. Each communication device is configured to receive one or both of vehicle data and user data to determine a stress-level based on one or both of the vehicle data and the user data. The route server system is configured to determine at least one navigation route in real-time based in part on the stress-level, and to output a route signal indicative of the at least one navigation route. The communication device displays a graphical map including a graphical route displaying the at least one navigation route.

Abstract: Techniques relate to adapting communications. A computer system receives initial content and event constraints related to a to-be-delivered communication and extracts information for recipients designated to receive the to-be-delivered communication. The computer system determines content utility values for topics of the initial content for each of the recipients, the content utility values for each of the topics being based on the information for each of the recipients. The computer system determines total content utility values for each of the topics in the initial content and selects elements of the to-be-delivered communication from a database based at least in part on the total content utility values for the topics and the event constraints.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for identifying products that are implicitly published in an image, e.g., where there is no identifying text or comments that identify the brand of the product. A product entity may be identified based on comments posted in response to the posting of the image. An analysis of the image may be performed based on the identified product entity to find items or products of a type of the identified product entity in the image. A product detected in the image may be compared to a database of products of the type of product entity to determine which product was posted in the image.
