  • Publication number: 20240135165
    Abstract: One aspect of systems and methods for data correction includes identifying a false label from among predicted labels corresponding to different parts of an input sample, wherein the predicted labels are generated by a neural network trained based on a training set comprising training samples and training labels corresponding to parts of the training samples; computing an influence of each of the training labels on the false label by approximating a change in a conditional loss for the neural network corresponding to each of the training labels; identifying a part of a training sample of the training samples and a corresponding source label from among the training labels based on the computed influence; and modifying the training set based on the identified part of the training sample and the corresponding source label to obtain a corrected training set.

  • Patent number: 11922110
    Abstract: Systems and techniques for generating responsive documents are described. Digital content is organized into a structure that defines how content is presented when a document is displayed by a computing device. To generate the responsive document, relationships are defined among different digital content objects, such as groups of content objects to be presented together and content objects that are to be presented as alternatives of one another. Responsive patterns are assigned to grouped content objects, where each responsive pattern defines different layout configurations for displaying grouped content objects based on computing device display characteristics. In some implementations, multiple responsive patterns are assigned to a single content group and individual responsive patterns are associated with activation ranges for display characteristics that activate the responsive pattern.

  • Patent number: 11899927
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for generating a digital image of simulated handwriting using an encoder-decoder neural network trained on images of natural handwriting samples. The simulated handwriting image can be generated based on a style of a handwriting sample and a variable length coded text input. The style represents visually distinctive characteristics of the handwriting sample, such as the shape, size, slope, and spacing of the letters, characters, or other markings in the handwriting sample. The resulting simulated handwriting image can include the text input rendered in the style of the handwriting sample. The distinctive visual appearance of the letters or words in the simulated handwriting image mimics the visual appearance of the letters or words in the handwriting sample image, whether the letters or words in the simulated handwriting image are the same as in the handwriting sample image or different from those in the handwriting sample image.

  • Publication number: 20230230406
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for facilitating identification of fillable regions and/or data associated therewith. In embodiments, a candidate fillable region indicating a region in a form that is a candidate for being fillable is obtained. Textual context indicating text from the form and spatial context indicating positions of the text within the form are also obtained. Fillable region data associated with the candidate fillable region is generated, via a machine learning model, using the candidate fillable region, the textual context, and the spatial context. Thereafter, a fillable form is generated using the fillable region data, the fillable form having one or more fillable regions for accepting input.

  • Publication number: 20220391768
    Abstract: Adapting a machine learning model to process data that differs from training data used to configure the model for a specified objective is described. A domain adaptation system trains the model to process new domain data that differs from a training data domain by using the model to generate a feature representation for the new domain data, which describes different content types included in the new domain data. The domain adaptation system then generates a probability distribution for each discrete region of the new domain data, which describes a likelihood of the region including different content described by the feature representation. The probability distribution is compared to ground truth information for the new domain data to determine a loss function, which is used to refine model parameters. After determining that model outputs achieve a threshold similarity to the ground truth information, the model is output as a domain-agnostic model.

  • Patent number: 10846524
    Abstract: A table layout determination system implemented on a computing device obtains an image of a table having multiple cells. The table layout determination system includes a row prediction machine learning system that generates, for each of multiple rows of pixels in the image of the table, a probability of the row being a row separator, and a column prediction machine learning system generates, for each of multiple columns of pixels in the image of the table, a probability of the column being a column separator. An inference system uses these probabilities of the rows being row separators and the columns being column separators to identify the row separators and column separators for the table. These row separators and column separators are the layout of the table.
