  • Patent number: 12630334
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for removably or irremovably interconnectable building block containers such as those capable of initially storing consumable items such as food and drink. After consumption of the food or drink, the cavity containing same may be cleaned and/or refilled with consumable or non-consumable items. The building block containers are utilized as building block toys and may be manufactured or otherwise designed to be collectable. In one aspect, the container connectors are nearly identical such that any one connector may mate with any other connector. In another aspect, the connectors are nearly identical but the orientations of each connector vary to allow mating to occur when the connectors are properly oriented. In another aspect, the container is a cube juice box with connectors on all four corners of all six sides of the container. A frame for holding a juice container may also be utilized.

  • Patent number: 12149549
    Abstract: Devices and techniques are generally described for unused identity and access management rights detection. In various examples, a first skill-usage vector associated with a first profile may be determined. A first nearest neighbor algorithm and the first skill-usage vector may be used to determine a second skill-usage vector grouped together with the first skill-usage vector in a feature space, where the second skill-usage vector is associated with a second profile. A first rights vector associated with the first profile may be determined. The first rights vector associated with the first profile may be compared to a second rights vector associated with the second profile. At least one unused right associated with the first profile may be determined based at least in part on the comparing of the first rights vector to the second rights vector.

  • Patent number: 12130809
    Abstract: A multimodal embedding modifier generates a modified seed search selection embedding for providing a set of search results. The multimodal embedding modifier enhances the ability and accuracy of identifying a user's true intent when searching the online marketplace. For example, embodiments disclosed herein can allow a user to navigate multiple modalities for an item. In some embodiments, a user may select a search result corresponding to an initial search query, and further modify the selected search result by inputting a modifier (e.g., a textual modifier). The multimodal embedding modifier can be trained using a training dataset including a text embedding, an image embedding, another type of embedding, or a combination thereof.

  • Patent number: 12124559
    Abstract: Devices and techniques are generally described for peer-based anomalous rights detection. In various examples, a rights vector may be determined for a first individual, the rights vector representing rights held by the first individual. A nearest neighbor algorithm may be used to determine a set of individuals having similar rights to the first individual. In various examples, a category label associated with the first individual may be determined. In some examples, a number of individuals of the set of individuals having the category label may be determined. In some examples, a determination may be made that the rights held by the first individual are anomalous based at least in part on the number. In some cases, alert data indicating that the rights held by the first individual are anomalous may be generated.

  • Patent number: 12058157
    Abstract: Devices and techniques are generally described for anomalous computer activity detection. In various examples, first computer activity data associated with a first account may be determined. A first linear detection event that corresponds to the first computer activity data may be determined. In some examples, a set of gradient-based data associated with the first linear detection event may be determined. The set of gradient-based data may represent comparative analysis of the first computer activity data with computer activity data of other accounts. In some examples, first data representing the first linear detection event and the set of gradient-based data may be generated. In various cases, network access for the first account may be disabled based on the first data.

  • Patent number: 12045575
    Abstract: Computer implemented systems and methods of processing clinical documentation for a multi-axial coding scheme include inputting clinical documentation from memory operatively coupled with a computer system, and executing a natural language processor configured to process narrative text in the clinical documentation. The processor segments the narrative text based on boundaries defined in the clinical documentation, sequences words in the narrative text based on the segmentation, and maps the sequenced words to semantic objects in an ontology database. The ontology defines classes of semantic objects and relationships between them, corresponding to the multi-axial coding scheme. The semantic objects are converted into characters and output into slots in a medical code, with the characters positioned in the slots based on the multi-axial coding scheme.

  • Patent number: 12032614
    Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and other techniques for evaluating a classifier model. The classifier model may be provided with a set of elements to be classified into N classes. Classification results may be obtained from the classifier model. N class-specific precisions and N class-specific recalls for the N classes may be computed based on the classification results. N class-specific precision weights and N class-specific recall weights corresponding to the N classes may be obtained. A weighted f-measure may be computed by weighting the N class-specific precisions with the N class-specific precision weights and weighting the N class-specific recalls with the N class-specific recall weights.
