Abstract: A method and system for migrating a payment instrument portfolio. A payment network computer receives a payment instrument portfolio conversion request message from an issuer computer to convert a payment instrument portfolio from a prior payment instrument scheme to a new payment instrument portfolio based on a new payment instrument scheme. The request message includes information about existing payment instrument references from the prior payment instrument scheme. The payment network computer creates enrollments based on the information about the existing payment instrument references and sends a portfolio migration event notification message to a payment instrument requestor partner computer associated with a payment network payment instrument requestor identifier subscribed to a new event type for the payment instrument portfolio migration.

Abstract: A product description generating system dynamically generates a description of an item based on one or more images. The product description generating system includes an attribute machine learning system that receives images of the item and determines at least one attribute value and corresponding prediction confidence value based on the image data. The user review interface provides an interface for reviewing attribute values generated by the attribute machine learning system. If the prediction confidence value is outside a threshold, then the attribute value is reviewed by a user via the user review interface. If, on the other hand, the prediction confidence value is within a threshold, then the attribute value is used to generate the description without user review. The user review interface groups items to be reviewed by taxon and facilitates user review of many items at scale.

Abstract: Embodiments of the inventive subject matter are directed to retirement plan optimization. By collecting client information, systems and methods of the inventive subject matter are configured to develop scenarios for a user. From those scenarios, multiple simulations can be run. Each scenario features scenario parameters, and each simulation features simulation parameters. Scenario parameters can include ranges of values or a set of different possible values. For a given scenario, many simulations can be run, where each simulation has a corresponding set of simulation parameters, and where each set of simulation parameters features set values for each of the scenario parameters for that scenario. After running multiple simulations for each scenario, high performing simulations can be identified based on a base case performance and based on one or more optimization goals. Once high performing simulations are identified, actionable retirement plans can be developed therefrom.

A distal surface of the distal portion of the wing can be obliquely angled relative to a proximal-distal axis of the spanning portion to face one of a caudal direction or a cephalad direction. A distal surface of the distal portion of the wing can be obliquely angled relative to the proximal-distal axis of the spanning portion to face one of a medial direction or a lateral direction. Surgical methods using the bone anchor assemblies described herein are also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for secure communications in a digital engineering ecosystem. In some implementations, a digital platform receives a request from a user device to interact with a digital model. The digital platform determines whether a user operating the user device is authorized. In response to determining the user is authorized to access the digital platform, the digital platform generates a token that provides the user with access to the digital platform. The digital platform determines whether the request includes malicious activity. In response to determining that the request is absent of the malicious activity, the digital platform executes a digital thread that executes one or more operations using digital tools and the digital model. The digital platform provides data indicative of the one or more operations executing the digital thread to the user device.

Abstract: A processor-implemented method for image or text processing includes receiving, by an artificial neural network (ANN) model, a set of tokens corresponding to an input. A token interaction block of the ANN model processes the set of tokens according to each channel of the input to generate a spatial mixture of a set of features for each channel of the input. A feed forward network block of the ANN model generates a mixture of channel features based on the spatial mixture of the set of features for each channel of the input. An attention block of the ANN model determines a set of attended features of the mixture of channel features according to a set of attention weights. In turn, the ANN model generates an inference based on the set of attend features of the mixture of channel features.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a display, a memory, and a processor. The memory stores events and available conversion options for a policy. The events include a conversion expiration event occurring on a conversion expiration date. Each conversion option is associated with a new policy type into which the policy is convertible prior to occurrence of the conversion expiration event. The processor presents a first page of a GUI, displaying a timeline of the events. The first page also displays a feature selectable to investigate the available conversion options. In response to receiving information associated with a selection of the feature, the processor presents a second page of the GUI, displaying the conversion options. The processor receives information associated with a selection of a first conversion option, and, in response, displays a graph illustrating the behavior of the policy upon conversion to the new policy type associated with the first conversion option.

Abstract: A controller may control input to, output from, and execution of a component of a data-processing pipeline via an interface. The interface facilitates replacing the component with a different and/or updated component and/or changing a type of controller that controls the component via the interface. For example, the different types of controllers may facilitate communication between components controlled by other controllers (and/or that aren't controlled by a controller), controllers that generate reproducibility data so that component behavior may be reproduced, controllers that reproduce component behavior, and/or controllers that tune performance of the data-processing pipeline, e.g., by varying input, output, and execution of respective component(s).
