Abstract: Provided are computing systems, methods, and platforms that train query processing models, such as large language models, to perform query intent classification tasks by using retrieval augmentation and multi-stage distillation. Unlabeled training examples of queries may be obtained, and a set of the training examples may be augmented with additional feature annotations to generate augmented training examples. A first query processing model may annotate the retrieval augmented queries to generate inferred labels for the augmented training examples. A second query processing model may be trained on the inferred labels, distilling the query processing model that was trained with retrieval augmentation into a non-retrieval augmented query processing model. The second query processing model may annotate the entire set of unlabeled training examples. Another stage of distillation may train a third query processing model using the entire set of unlabeled training examples without retrieval augmentation.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to product supply apparatus. It is described to provide a processing unit with a plurality of orders of a product, wherein the plurality of orders is formed from open orders and shipped orders. The processing unit is provided with a stock level of the product held in stock. The processing unit determines an open demand of the product to be received, wherein the determination comprises utilization of the shipped orders, open orders and a total forecast number of the product to be received. The processing unit determines a product supply plan, wherein the determination comprises utilization of the open orders, open demand and the stock level.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a product planning apparatus. A processing unit of the product planning apparatus is provided with a plurality of orders of a product, wherein the plurality of orders is formed from open orders and shipped orders. The processing unit is provided with a stock level of the product held in stock. The processing unit determines an open demand of the product to be received, wherein the determination comprises utilization of the shipped orders, open orders and a total forecast number of the product to be received. The processing unit determines a net demand of the product to be received, wherein the determination comprises utilization of the open orders, open demand and the stock level. The processing unit determines a production plan, wherein the determination comprises utilization of the net demand.

Abstract: The present invention discloses stable, non-agglomerated, ultra-small metal/alloy clusters encapsulated in silica with the metal/alloy cluster size of less than 5 nm. The invention further discloses a simple, cost effective process for the preparation of metal/alloy clusters encapsulated in silica which is thermally stable and without agglomeration.
