Abstract: A computer implemented method is described herein for post-execution evaluation of a machine-learning (ML) algorithm. The method can include receiving a post-execution version of the ML algorithm having a plurality of behavioral states. The method can include generating behavior identification data identifying a given behavioral state from the plurality of behavioral states of the ML algorithm. The given behavioral state can correspond to a decision-making state of the ML algorithm that the ML algorithm learned during an execution of the ML algorithm.

Behavior evaluation data can be generated based on a user's interaction with the behavior object. A learning process of the ML algorithm can be altered for future execution of the ML algorithm based on the behavior evaluation data.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for automatically transitioning between communication modes of wearable audio output devices based solely on acoustic analysis. The audio output devices may operate in one of three electroacoustic modes. In the transparency mode, an audio output device may pass through the speech signal of a nearby user. In the peer-to-peer mode, the audio output device may establish a direct low-latency radio frequency (RF) link to another audio output device. In the telephony mode, the audio output device may communicate with another audio output device using networked telephony. The disclosed methods and systems perform acoustic analysis of the near-field speech signal of a local wearer of the audio output device and the far-field speech signal of a remote talker to determine the best mode for the audio output device to use and to seamlessly transition between the modes as the acoustic environment between the wearers changes.

An insulating layer separates the hypotube and the pushwire, and an interventional element is coupled to a distal end of the pushwire. The interventional element can be disposed adjacent to a thrombus. An electrical signal is delivered to the interventional element to promote adhesion of the thrombus to the interventional element. The electrical signal can optionally be a periodic waveform, and the total energy delivered can be between 0.75-24,000 mJ and the peak current delivered via the electrical signal can be between 0.5-5 mA.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for processing electronic content, such as text, videos, and images. According to certain embodiments, user interactions with electronic content may be tracked over a plurality of modalities, such as web pages, email, mobile applications, and social media. The tracked user interactions may include copy/paste events, explicit user highlighting, social sharing, and user voting. Key passages of electronic content may be identified based on the tracked user interactions and ranked against one another. Ranking of passages may be based, for example, on a raw or normalized score for the identified key passages. Alternatively, the ranking of a passage may be based on a ratio of user interactions with the passage to total views of the electronic text containing the passage. One or more of the identified key passages (e.g., the highest ranked passages) may be published to one or more applications.

Abstract: A robotic surgical system configured to control movement of a first instrument and a second instrument, each of which is on a robotic manipulator. In described modes of operation, movement of the first instrument is surgeon controlled based on surgeon input to the robotic system. Movement of the second instrument is also surgeon controlled, but its motion is defined by the chosen mode of operation which sets the amplitude and direction of the second instrument's motion relative to the actual or instructed motion of the first instrument. In this way, two instruments are simultaneously moved based on input from a single surgeon input device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for developing a model to predict humidity (relative, absolute) values inside a closed housing with an absorbent filter. In an example, a methane sensor that includes an internal atmospheric sensor and an external atmospheric sensor can be placed at a site. A computing device can use measurements from the atmospheric sensors to calculate predicted relative and absolute humidity values inside the methane sensor. The computing device can train a gaussian process regression model to calibrate sensor data based on the external temperature and humidity. When the model predicts the ambient methane within a predetermined degree of allowance, the model can be applied to live readings from methane sensors in the field.

Abstract: A system for monitoring arterial pressure of a patient determines a score that is predictive of responsiveness of the patient to a therapy. Sensed hemodynamic data representative of an arterial pressure waveform of the patient are received by a hemodynamic monitor. Magnitude data and trend data are derived from the hemodynamic data. The score that is predictive of the responsiveness of the patient to the therapy is determined based on the magnitude data and the trend data of the hemodynamic parameter. A representation of the score is output.
