  • Patent number: 12633109
    Abstract: The present application discloses a method for detecting cigarette appearance defects based on variational Bayesian inference. In a cigarette appearance defect detection scenario, in order to solve the problem that a current point estimation-based machine learning algorithm leads to an overconfidence decision in a data scarcity area, the present application proposes a variational inference-based Bayesian method to improve a SSD backbone network. The present application can improve the accuracy of defect detection without losing the processing speed, not only saving a large amount of manpower and material resources, but also effectively providing reliable technical support for finding the root causes of defect types. Thus, it achieves intelligent quality risk management and control in a cigarette production workshop.

  • Patent number: 12541649
    Abstract: A system and method employs a chatbot into which a user can input an inquiry/question regarding a risk related topic is disclosed. The user can obtain an answer to the inquiry. The system and method can receive, via a chatbot interface, an inquiry. An intent of the inquiry can be determined using a natural language processing (NLP) model. The inquiry can be matched, using a classifier, to a related data set based on the determined intent. An output can be generated based on the related data set in response to the inquiry. The output can be transmitted for display on the chatbot interface.

  • Patent number: 12478291
    Abstract: Principals of refraction of a light ray are used to identify the location of an interface between two materials having different refractive indices. The interface may be an interface between a plasma layer and a red blood cell layer of a centrifuged container, for example. An array of light detector elements are arranged to receive light that has been refracted through different layers in a centrifuged sample. Elements of the light detector array are arranged at known locations relative to an emitter of the light so detection of light by one or more particular detector elements is indicative of the angle of refraction of the light. Vertical position of the sample is tracked and correlated with corresponding angles of refraction to determine the vertical position of the sample when a change in the angle of diffraction is detected.

  • Publication number: 20250328753
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for using generative artificial intelligence to automatically label training prompts for training a classification model. Interaction data comprising communications between clients and a chatbot may be used to identify a representative set of topics. Each communication can be assigned a label associated with one or more topics from the set of topics. First training data comprising the set of labels and one or more of the communications assigned to that label may be generated and used to train a generative artificial intelligence model to generate metadata comprising a description of each label from the set of labels. Second training data comprising a plurality of sample prompts, the set of labels, and the metadata; may be generated and used to train a classification model to autonomously label each of the plurality of sample prompts with one or more labels from the set of labels.

  • Patent number: 12386804
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for maintaining bifurcated data management while labeling data for artificial intelligence model development. For example, the system may receive a first label for a first sample from a first dataset, wherein the first dataset is accessible to a first subset of a plurality of users, and wherein the first subset comprises a first attribute. The system may receive first version metadata of the first label, wherein the first version metadata comprises a proposed label for the first sample assigned by a first user. The system may determine, based on a first user input from the first user, a first grouping of source code files for storing the first version metadata, wherein the first grouping of source code files is accessible to a second subset of the plurality of users, and wherein the second subset comprises a second attribute.

  • Publication number: 20250252222
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for protecting user data privacy in a privacy zone around a user and a computing device displaying user data. A device can include a camera configured to capture a sequence of images in a location, such as in a privacy zone comprising an area around the device and a user of the device. A memory can be coupled to the camera to store the sequence of images. A monitoring device can be configured to determine, based on the sequence of images, whether an object is found in the location. In response to finding an object, the monitoring device can generate a control signal to cause the device to take an action to protect the user data privacy in the location such as a privacy zone.

In a cigarette appearance defect detection scenario, in order to solve the problem that a current point estimation-based machine learning algorithm leads to an overconfidence decision in a data scarcity area, the present application proposes a variational inference-based Bayesian method to improve a SSD backbone network, preferably including calculating a real posterior probability by the variational inference method, replacing a point estimation mechanism of a convolution layer weight in the original backbone network by using a form of probability distribution, then detecting the improved extracted features by an SSD target detection algorithm, and furthermore, accurately determining whether the appearance of the cigarette is defective and the type and location of the defect.
