  • Publication number: 20260161926
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for a quantitative analysis tool for inference speed and performance of AI models. An online transaction processor or other service provider may provide computing services and platforms to entities, which may include services that utilize AI models including LLMs. To provide more efficient training and testing of AI models, a service provider may utilize a quantitative analysis tool that executes operations for algorithmic techniques utilized to calculate model throughput parameters include prefill latency, decoding latency, and other performance metrics. For LLMs, these metrics may be used to compute a time-to-first-token, which may be used to assess an inferencing speed. The tool may analyze the performance metrics and model throughput parameters using model configurations and hardware specifications and may do so without real testing so that system resource usage may be reduced, and performance may be more quickly assessed.

  • Publication number: 20260134082
    Abstract: Computer security improvements relating to fraud detection and data correlations through large-scale graph clustering of graph transformations and embeddings are disclosed. A service provider may utilize a framework having computing operations for detecting fraud and other malicious or suspicious activities by groups of accounts and fraudsters. In this regard, the service provider may transform relationship graphs of account networks and relationships between accounts and account data captured in the nodes and edges of such graphs. The service provider may merge nodes that edges connecting to other nodes of a certain type of account data, while other types of account data and nodes may not be merged. Edges may also be merged and weighted, and the resulting transformed graph may undergo graph embedding to generate vectors that may be clustered using an AI clustering algorithm. The clusters may then be used for AI model training and inferencing.

  • Publication number: 20260127798
    Abstract: A system based upon artificial neural networks generates attenuation-corrected SPECT from non-attenuation-corrected SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography) without or with an intermediate step of attenuation map estimation. The system includes a SPECT scanner with CZT cameras for dynamic SPECT imaging. The system also includes a machine learning system including a 3D Dual Squeeze-and-Excitation Residual Dense Network for generating attenuation-corrected SPECT or attenuation maps from non-attenuation-corrected SPECT. The machine learning system reconstructs images from photopeak window and one or more scatter windows of the SPECT scanner are fed to the 3D Dual Squeeze-and-Excitation Residual Dense Network to generate attenuation-corrected SPECT or attenuation maps.

  • Patent number: 11858143
    Abstract: An autonomous mobile device (AMD) follows a user who may move among other people, change orientation, or move in and out view of a camera on the AMD. A predicted location of the user may be determined based on a previous location and previous movement. A proximity value is determined by the distance between a location in physical space of a user and the predicted location. An image from a camera is processed to determine a user depicted in the image and generate a feature vector (FV) of that depiction. A gallery of FVs of the user as viewed from different angles, poses, and so forth is stored. A similarity value is determined between a FV of an unidentified user in an image and the FVs in the gallery. The user may be identified using the proximity value and the similarity value.

  • Patent number: 11120458
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for generating group-based sequential point-of-interest (POI) recommendations are disclosed. A primitive graph or sparse transition matrix is constructed that represents relationships between users, between POIs, and between users and POIs. A loss data prediction algorithm is executed on the primitive graph to obtain a filled graph, which may be a filled user-POI bipartite graph. A group sequential recommendation engine then performs an iterative sequential recommendation process that involves performing, at each iteration, various manipulations on the filled graph to obtain first a homogenous node type graph and then a minimum spanning tree. A next POI to recommend in a sequence of POIs is then determined from the minimum spanning tree. The iterative process continues until stopping criteria is met.
