  • Publication number: 20250086501
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for improved data imputation and use of imputed data in processing of downstream models. Some embodiments specially train a model that performs improved data imputation utilizing a specially-configured attention mechanism. Some embodiments train a model utilizing stratified masking. Some embodiments train a particular pre-processing layer of a downstream task-specific model to adaptively learn threshold values for imputing particular data. The pre-processing layer is usable to improve accuracy training and/or use of a downstream task-specific model based at least in part on the imputed data.

  • Patent number: 11368513
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a middleware application for user-interface-driven applications include receiving, at the middleware application, queries from different dynamic user interface modules associated with respective front-end applications. The front-end applications are authenticated using authentication data included in the query and verification data external to the middleware application. In response to each query, the middleware application receives data from different external data sources, each being a separate instance of the same back-end service. The data is used to generate objects declaring instances of user interface elements, which are sent by the middleware application to the requesting dynamic user interface module for rendering at the associated front-end application.
