  • Publication number: 20250028978
    Abstract: Techniques for autocontrastive decoding of a machine learning model are provided. In one aspect, a system for machine learning includes: a multi-layer machine learning model; and an autocontrastive decoding module configured to obtain prediction probabilities from multiple, different layers of the multi-layer machine learning model as data propagates through the multi-layer machine learning model, and aggregate in a contrastive manner the prediction probabilities from the multiple, different layers of the multi-layer machine learning model to provide a final output from the multi-layer machine learning model. The multi-layer machine learning model can be a transformer-based machine learning model. The autocontrastive decoding module can be configured to redistribute a prediction probability distribution of the transformer-based machine learning model by maximizing a difference between log-probabilities of a final layer and one or more intermediate layers of the transformer-based machine learning model.

  • Publication number: 20230394585
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for retrieving insurance information of an insurance customer at a mobile device. An insurance information token may be affixed to a vehicle and scanned by an optical input device of the mobile device. The optical input device may thus obtain optical input corresponding to the insurance information token. The insurance information of the insurance customer may be retrieved based on the optical input and presented at a display device of the mobile device upon retrieval. The mobile device may also provide a message to an insurance system indicating that the insurance information token was scanned. Telematics information may also be analyzed in response to receipt of the message to determine whether to automatically create an insurance claim for the customer.

  • Patent number: 10593074
    Abstract: Responsive to receiving an indication of a geographical area, one or more constituent areas associated with the geographical area are identified. Boundary data corresponding to the constituent areas is accessed. The boundary data for each constituent area comprises a plurality of geographical location points defining line segments that define the boundary of the corresponding constituent area. Unique portions of line segments are identified. A unique portion of a line segment is a portion of a line segment defined in the boundary data of one and only one of the constituent areas. The geographical area boundary layer is defined. The geographical boundary layer comprises a set of line segments consisting of the unique portions of line segments. A geographical map is provided for display via a user interface. The geographical map comprises a plurality of layers. The plurality of layers comprise one or more map layer sand the geographical area boundary layer.

  • Patent number: 10094170
    Abstract: A warning circuit for use on ladders includes a first sensor responsive to the placement of a first of a user's feet thereon and a second sensor responsive to the placement of a second of the user's feet thereon. The second sensor is electrically connected in series to the first sensor, and a relay is electrically connected in series to one of the first and second sensors. A power source has a power output terminal electrically connected in series to the other of the sensors connected in series. A sound device is electrically connected to a load output of the relay and to the power source. The load output of the relay is energized only when the first sensor is activated prior to activation of the second sensor whereupon the load output then energizes the sound device.
