  • Patent number: 12266065
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing visual indications of generative model responses can include obtaining a user input and processing the user input with a generative model to generate a model-generated-response. The systems and methods can process the model-generated response and an image of an environment to generate an augmented image. The augmented image can include visual indicators of the model-generated response, which can include annotating the image based on detected features within the image. Generation of the augmented image can include object detection and annotation based on the content of the model-generated response.

  • Patent number: 12260348
    Abstract: Techniques for improved searching and querying in computer-based reasoning systems are discussed and include receiving multiple new multidimensional data element to store in a computer-based reasoning data model; determining a feature bucket for each feature of each data element and storing a reference identifier in the feature bucket(s). A query on the computer-based reasoning system includes input data element (e.g., an actual data element, or a set of restrictions on features). For each feature in the input data element, feature buckets are determined, candidate results are determined based on whether cases have related feature buckets, and the results are determined based at least in part on the candidate results. In some embodiments, control of controllable systems may be caused based on the results.

  • Publication number: 20250095778
    Abstract: A sequencing data analysis platform can process datasets that include a large number of sequence read. The reads are aligned to one or more reference genomes. Due to sequencing errors, sequencing noise, or genuine differences between a reference genome and the individual species being sequenced, this mapping process may tolerate a certain number of mismatches, insertions, or deletions. The sequencing data analysis platform provides a set of tools for analyzing and visualizing the sequence reads.

  • Publication number: 20250093118
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and techniques that can be implemented in a gun, such as an electromechanical gun. The gun may charge a capacitor bank, identify a trigger break based on an output generated by a trigger sensor, and transmit a signal based on the trigger break. Transmitting the signal may result in the capacitor bank discharging electric charge such that electric current is directed at an actuator mechanism so as to cause displacement of the actuator mechanism, and the displacement of the actuator mechanism may result in the propulsion of a projectile through a barrel of the gun. The gun may determine that a projectile has been fired based on an output of an accelerometer or a gyroscope, and the gun may recharge the capacitor bank in response to determining that the projectile has been fired.

  • Patent number: 12254672
    Abstract: A system or technique can analyze metadata from a first set of images using a neural network to identify classification information about individuals depicted in the images. The system generates data based on this classification information, including attributes of the individuals, and compares this data against predefined criteria for image presentations. If any attributes are found to be non-compliant with the criteria, the system queries a database of second image metadata linked to a set of images. This database includes data generated from prior presentations and classification information provided by individuals depicted in the images. The system locates compliant attributes in the second image metadata, retrieves an image linked to these compliant attributes, and modifies a presentation to include the retrieved image.

  • Patent number: 12254387
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for novel uses and/or improvements for designing user-specific interfaces using machine learning models. When a request to display certain data by an application is received, an application token and a user token may be retrieved and combined into a consolidated token. The consolidated token may be input into a machine learning model to obtain a user interface token for an application. The user interface token may indicate user interface settings/configuration desired/preferred by a user. The user interface token may then be sent to the application to cause the application to display the data using user interface configurations within the user interface token.

  • Publication number: 20250087207
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides computer-implemented methods, systems, and devices for responding to requests associated with an image. A computing system obtains, wherein the image depicts a first set of textual content. The computing system determines one or more characteristics of the first set of textual content. The computing system determines a response type from a plurality of response types based on the one or more characteristics. The computing system generates a model input, wherein the model input comprises data descriptive of the first set of textual content and a prompt associated with the response type. The computing system provides providing the model input as an input to a machine-learned language model. The computing system receives a second set of text as an output of the machine-learned language model as a result of the machine-learned language model processing the model input.
