Abstract: Systems and methods for assigning a lane to an object in an environment of an autonomous vehicle are disclosed. The methods include assigning an instantaneous probability to each of a plurality of lanes in the environment based on a current state of the object, generating a transition matrix for each of the plurality of lanes, and identifying the lane in which the object is moving at the current time t based on the instantaneous probability and the transition matrix. The instantaneous probability is a measure of likelihood that the object is in that lane at a current time. The transition matrix encodes one or more probabilities that the object transitioned either into that lane or out of that lane at the current time.

Abstract: A multi-attribute bias amplification metric illustrates the need to consider multiple attributes when measuring bias amplification. For datasets that are perfectly balanced with respect to single attributes, bias amplification can still occur with respect to multi-attributes, regardless of whether raw or absolute differences are used. The metric can be used to show that methods used to mitigate single attribute bias can inadvertently increase multi-attribute bias amplification. Accordingly, the methods for determining bias amplification can provide a better understanding of the extent of bias a model introduces from training to prediction. Further, counterfactuals can be generated to decorrelate the co-occurrences of protected attributes with all background objects, both labeled and unlabeled. These generated counterfactuals can be used for both augmenting training and testing datasets.

Abstract: An inspection system for inspecting multiple surfaces of a substrate includes at least one illuminator that produces light at a first wavelength that is incident on the substrate at a first angle (e.g., normal) and light at a second wavelength directed that is obliquely incident on the substrate. An adjustment system adjusts the oblique angle. The substrate may be opaque to one of the wavelengths and at least partially transparent to the other wavelength. Detection optics collect backscattered light from the substrate and at least one detector generates a first image representative of the first surface of the substrate and a second image representative of a second surface or near the second surface of the substrate. The images may be compared to generate a third image representative of defects on or near the second surface of the substrate corrected for residual signals of defects on the first surface.

Abstract: A pessary system for providing pelvic floor support for USL and other ligaments. The pessary has an elongated probe with independently inflatable balloons each located substantially the same distance from the insertion end of the probe and which inflate into separate radial sectors. The probe can be inserted into a vaginal cavity and the balloons inflated provide mechanical support to the USLs. Independent inflation of each balloon allows the mechanical USL support provided to be varied on left and right sides to compensate for differences in the degree of degradation and positioning of the USL ligaments on either side.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and device for preventing blockchain forking. The method includes: selecting s consecutive blocks Bn to Bn+s; generating a key pair for block Bm by a node An that creates the block Bn; holding the node An active in the blockchain's continuously generating blocks Bn+1 to Bn+s until the block Bn+s of s consecutive blocks becomes tamper-proof; in response to that, signing on the block Ban+s with the private key PK?n; in response to the blockchain's subsequently generating a block Bm(m>n+s), placing the signature in Bm; making nodes creating each of the s blocks Bn to Bn+s all execute afore-mentioned steps, thereby forming multiple backlinks associated with the blockchain's block size. The number of backlinks is used for determining blockchain forking by a newly-added node creating a new block.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a domain-name based framework implemented in a digital assistant ecosystem uses domain names as unique identifiers for request types, requesting entities, responders, and target entities embedded in a natural language request. Further, the framework enables interpreting natural language requests according to domain ontologies associated with different responders. A domain ontology operates as a keyword dictionary for a given responder and defines the keywords and corresponding allowable values to be used for request types and request parameters. The domain-name based framework thus enables the digital assistant to interact with any responder that supports a domain ontology to generate precise and complete responses to natural language based requests.
