  • Publication number: 20240384055
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the technical field of protective coatings, and provides a graphene oxide (GO)-modified styrene-acrylic Pickering emulsion and a composite emulsion, and preparation methods and use. In the present disclosure, GO is added during polymerization of a styrene-acrylic monomer, and the GO is attached to an interface of a styrene-acrylic core while forming the styrene-acrylic core; and the GO is “stitched” at the interface of the styrene-acrylic core by a silane coupling agent, thus giving the GO a better dispersion effect. After adding a shell phase emulsion, a part of the styrene-acrylic core that is not completely wrapped by a GO sheet may be grafted with a shell phase, and cross-linking between a core phase and the shell phase can further enhance a steric stability of the GO; and the GO can fully connect the styrene-acrylic core with a siloxane shell, improving the molecular configuration of a siloxane component.

  • Patent number: 12073188
    Abstract: Systems and methods for multilingual keyword generation for low-resource language passages are disclosed. For example, high-resource language passages describing items in a catalog or other such passages may include numerous keywords for classifying and searching for the item while a low-resource language description of the item may not include the same rich keyword environment due to lower usage and traffic in the low-resource language. The systems and methods herein provide for leveraging the high-resource language through a multilingual natural language processing algorithm to identify similar passages across language barriers and identify keywords in the high-resource language for input into a decoder to generate keywords in the low-resource language.

  • Patent number: 11256707
    Abstract: Devices and techniques are generally described for per-query prediction of shard relevance for search. In some examples, a search system may receive a first search query. A first score may be determined for a first database partition, the first score indicating a relevancy of the first search query to first data stored by the first database partition. Similarly, a second score may be determined for a second database partition, the second score indicating a relevancy of the first search query to second data stored by the second database partition. A determination may be made that the first search query is related to the first data stored by the first database partition. A determination may be made, based at least in part on the second score, that the first search query is unrelated to the second data stored by the second database partition.

  • Patent number: 11062371
    Abstract: The arrangement and selection of digital content to present to a user can be based at least in part upon probabilities of the user selecting to view more information and/or entering into a transaction with respect to instances of the content. For example, user behavior with respect to various items provided through a content provider can be determined in order to calculate a probability that a user was searching for a particular type of item for a given search. The user behavior can include historical action data, such as information that indicates items that were selected in response to a particular search and/or items that were purchased in response to a particular search. The historical action data can be analyzed to generate an index that indicates a likelihood that the search was intended for a particular type of product. Additionally, the historical data can be used to train language models that can be used to determine a probability of interest for a particular type of product for a given search.
