  • Patent number: 12579626
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for image processing. A plurality of positive text exemplars is processed to generate a set of normal features using a trained model. A plurality of negative text exemplars is processed to generate a set of anomaly features using the trained model. A query image depicting an object is received. A query image feature for the query image is generated using the trained model. An anomaly score for the query image is generated based at least in part on determining one or more distances between the query image feature and one or more normal features of the set of normal features, and determining one or more distances between the query image feature and one or more anomaly features of the set of anomaly features.

  • Publication number: 20260075138
    Abstract: A chatbot system includes a computer hardware system for implementing a chatbot and a hardware processor configured to initiate the following executable operations. A user prompt associated with a user and directed to the chatbot is received from a client device. An interactive voice response (IVR) tree associated with the user prompt is identified. The user prompt and the IVR tree are encoded into an encoded input. The encoded input is consumed by a trained neural model, and the neural model generates, using the encoded input, business process information. The trained neural model generates, using the business process information, an answer, and the answer is provided to the client device.

  • Patent number: 12475692
    Abstract: An example system includes a processor to automatically extract text and images from a document. The processor can automatically generate text bags including a number of nearest texts for each of the extracted images. The processor can then train a multi-modal model based on the automatically generated text bags using a CLIP-MIL loss that computes, for each of the extracted images, a correlation between each of the different texts in the texts bags using a CLIP feature space at each gradient step of the gradient descent-based multiple instance learning (MIL) algorithm.

  • Patent number: 12456182
    Abstract: An example system includes a processor that can randomly mask tokens using different masks to generate different subsets of masked tokens. The processor can process the different sets of masked tokens via a pretrained masked auto-encoder (MAE) encoder to output intermediate representations. The processor can process the intermediate representations via a pretrained MAE decoder to output reconstructed images. The processor can further compare input image with the output reconstructed images to generate an anomaly score.

  • Publication number: 20250285005
    Abstract: Training a machine learning model for domain generalized operation includes processing, using computer hardware, a first plurality of images belonging to a first domain through a first network. A second plurality of images belonging to a second domain is processed using the computer hardware through a second network. A compound error metric is generated using the computer hardware from a plurality of plurality of error metrics derived from results generated from the processing of the first network and the processing of the second network. Weights of the first network are updated using the computer hardware based on the compound error metric. Weights of the second network are updated using the computer hardware using a moving average technique that is dependent on the weights of the first network as updated.
