  • Publication number: 20250103682
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided. A dataset comprising a covariate matrix, a treatment vector, and an outcome vector is received. Using a trained causal model applied to the dataset, an inverse probability weighted (IPW) model estimation of treatment effect is generated. An inverse probability weighted estimation of groundtruth treatment effect is computed. A causal treatment error is calculated based on the inverse probability weighted model estimation of treatment effect and the inverse probability weighted estimation of groundtruth treatment effect.

  • Publication number: 20250095138
    Abstract: Implementations are described herein for training and applying machine learning models to digital images capturing plants, and to other data indicative of attributes of individual plants captured in the digital images, to recognize individual plants in distinction from other individual plants. In various implementations, a digital image that captures a first plant of a plurality of plants may be applied, along with additional data indicative of an additional attribute of the first plant observed when the digital image was taken, as input across a machine learning model to generate output. Based on the output, an association may be stored in memory, e.g., of a database, between the digital image that captures the first plant and one or more previously-captured digital images of the first plant.

  • Publication number: 20250092564
    Abstract: Disclosed is a device for preparing a silicon carbide crystal including a crucible and a crystal expansion guide assembly. The crucible includes a crucible body and a crucible cover fixing a seed and covering the crucible body. The crystal expansion guide assembly includes a frame member and a tubular core member. The frame member is fixed to the crucible body, located between the crucible cover and a raw material accommodated in the crucible body, and provided with a through hole with a diameter greater than a diameter of a growth surface of the seed. The tubular core member is mechanically connected to an inner wall of the through hole. During a crystal growth process, the tubular core member falls off due to contact with a growth front of a crystal. The frame member does not react with the crystal. Thus, a large-sized crystal ingot with high quality can be obtained.

  • Publication number: 20250095814
    Abstract: In certain examples, a causal inference model is trained on a re-balancing task in a self-supervised manner, using ‘unlabelled’ training data pertaining to multiple domains. Rather than approaching casual inference as a domain-specific task (e.g., designing one causal-inference approach for a particular manufacturing application, another for a particular aerospace application, another for a specific medical application etc.,) a general-purpose causal inference mechanism is learned from a large, diverse training set that contains many treatments dataset over many field/applications (e.g., combining manufacturing data, engineering data, medical data etc. in a single dataset used to train a single neural network). In other words, a cross-domain causal inference model is trained, which can then be applied to a dataset in any domain, including domains that were not explicitly encountered by the neural network during training.
