  • Publication number: 20260073142
    Abstract: Methods and systems include searching for prompt tokens in a document corpus, starting from a random point in the document corpus. A next token is added to an updated prompt from the document corpus after the prompt tokens have been located. The searching and adding are iteratively repeated using the updated prompt until an end condition is reached. An action is performed responsive to the updated prompt.

  • Publication number: 20250148431
    Abstract: Systems and methods for an agent-based carbon emission reduction system. A carbon product of a supply chain system can be limited below a carbon product threshold by performing a corrective action to monitored entities based on a calculated carbon emission. The carbon emission can be calculated based on carbon-relevant data and a calculation route by utilizing an agent-based simulation model that simulates a learned relationship between a supply chain system and the carbon-relevant data. The calculation route can be determined based on the carbon-relevant data based on a relevance of a carbon product contribution of monitored entities to a goal of the monitored entities. Carbon-relevant data can be extracted from the monitored entities.

  • Publication number: 20240338393
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for analyzing and visualizing document corpuses based on user-defined semantic features, including initializing a Natural Language Inference (NLI) classification model pre-trained on a diverse linguistic dataset, analyzing a corpus of textual documents with semantic features described in natural language by a user. For each semantic feature, a classification process is executed using the NLI model to assess implication strength between sentences in the documents and the semantic feature, the classification process including a confidence scoring mechanism to quantify implication strength. Implication scores can be aggregated for each of the documents to form a composite semantic implication profile, and a dimensionality reduction technique, can be applied to the composite semantic implication profiles of each of the documents to generate a two-dimensional semantic space representation.

  • Patent number: 11428252
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system for an aircraft. The system includes a rail having a bottom surface, and a first and a second sidewall extending from the bottom surface. The first sidewall, the second sidewall, and the bottom surface define a channel. The rail also includes blind holes, located in the bottom surface. The system also includes spacers, each comprising a stem and a top portion, extending substantially perpendicular to the stem. The stem of each of the spacers is configured to be positioned in a respective one of the blind holes such that a longitudinal axis of the top portion of each of the spacers is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the channel. The system also includes a structural component, a portion of which is configured to be positioned into the channel such that the structural component rests on the top portion of each of the spacers.

  • Patent number: 10545629
    Abstract: Systems and methods for exploring a data collection. An exemplary system includes a GUI that displays a window to the user, and displays data element icons within the window representing an initial set of data elements from the data collection. Visual properties of the data element icons indicate the relevance of the data elements in the initial set to the data collection. The GUI receives input from the user selecting a data element icon within the window. Selection of the data element icon assigns a corresponding data element in the initial set as an initial anchor set. The GUI displays another window to the user, displays an anchor icon for the initial anchor set, and displays the data element icons representing a relevant set of data elements. Visual properties of the data element icons indicate the relevance of the data elements in the relevant set to the initial anchor set.
