Publication number: 20260196038Abstract: A computerized method classifies vegetation in geographic regions. Target coordinates that describe a geographic region are obtained and vegetation data associated with the geographic region is obtained. In some examples, the vegetation data includes satellite imagery data of the geographic region. Vegetation index data points are generated using the obtained vegetation data (e.g., Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data points). A signature curve associated with the geographic region is plotted using the generated vegetation index data points and the vegetation in the geographic region is classified using the plotted signature curve. Then, a vegetation management action is caused to be performed in association with the geographic region based on the classified vegetation. The method enables the identification of crops in the geographic location and/or monitoring of forest growth or decline in the geographic location.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2025Publication date: July 9, 2026Inventors: Vaishnavi Nattar RANGANATHAN, Peder Andreas OLSEN, Bruno SILVA, Angela BUSHESKA

Patent number: 12572592Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a computer-implemented method for matching a graph-under-analysis to a technique for embedding the graph-under-analysis. In a non-limiting example, the computer-implemented method includes receiving, using a processor, graph data representing the graph-under-analysis, wherein the graph-under-analysis represents a network. The graph data is analyzed, using the processor, to extract graph property data representing properties of the graph-under-analysis. Based at least in part on a result of analyzing the graph property data, one or more embedding techniques are selected, wherein at least one of the one or more embedding techniques is configured to transform the graph data to a graph embedding that is used by a task algorithm to perform a task.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2020Date of Patent: March 10, 2026Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ana Paula Appel, Renato Luiz de Freitas Cunha, Bruno Silva, Rogerio Abreu de Paula

Publication number: 20250117738Abstract: A supply chain tracking system utilizes tracking codes to track products through a supply chain. A tracking code is assigned to each product. If the product is grouped with other products at a stage in the supply chain, a tracking code is assigned to the group, and the tracking code for each of the products in the group is associated with the tracking code for the group. If the group of products is further aggregated with groups of other products, such as in a shipping container, a tracking code is assigned to the aggregated groups of products, and the tracking code for each of the groups of products is associated with the tracking code for the aggregated groups of products. The tracking codes are used to generate a supply chain graph which maps the travel of each product through the supply chain.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2024Publication date: April 10, 2025Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Vaishnavi NATTAR RANGANATHAN, Roberto Oliveira SANTOS, Bruno SILVA, Ranveer CHANDRA, Riyaz PISHORI
