Publication number: 20250258878Abstract: Techniques for creating an interest graph include obtaining content items from multiple content sources and applying tailored (e.g., source-specific) preprocessing to the content items based on their respective content source. Text is extracted and salient keywords and key phrases are identified using unsupervised machine learning models. The keywords and key phrases become nodes in an interest graph, each node comprising an embedding of a keyword or key phrase in a common embedding space, with edges representing semantic similarity based on embeddings or co-engagement patterns. The graph provides an expansive, granular, and dynamic taxonomy easily adaptable to emerging interests. The interest graph overcomes limitations of conventional taxonomies that lack depth, fail to capture niche interests, and cannot adapt to reflect evolving user preferences. The described techniques construct a rich interest graph from diverse content for improved content understanding.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2024Publication date: August 14, 2025Inventors: Jason Brewer, Shuo Han, Chang Kuang Huang, James Li, Yiwei Ma, Manish Malik, Yinan Na, Dan Xie, Jinchao Ye, Lili Zhang, Mingtao Zhang, Yining Zhang, Hangqi Zhao, Ding Zhou, Yang Zhou

Publication number: 20250259708Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying salient biological features from molecular data to differentiate between biological outcomes. A biological sample, such as blood, plasma, serum, or liquefied tissue, is obtained from a subject and processed using chemical, mechanical, and/or enzymatic treatment.

Each feature vector is associated with a known biological outcome. Decision values are computed to determine the features most relevant for outcome differentiation. Features with low decision values may be discarded. A classification model is constructed using the pruned feature set and applied to new biological samples to predict outcomes with a confidence score.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2025Publication date: August 14, 2025Applicant: Magellan Bioanalytics, Inc.Inventors: Dan Reed Olsen, JR., Marc David Hansen

Publication number: 20250259463Abstract: Techniques for automated tagging of visual content are described. A pairwise model is used to encode images and videos with a vision encoder, and encode keywords and phrases from an interest graph with a text encoder. Similarity layers compare these cross-modality embeddings by calculating distance in a shared embedding space. Scores indicate the association between visual features and text. A pairwise loss function brings together matched pairs while separating non-matches during training. Scores exceeding a threshold tag content with relevant keywords and phrases. The pairwise architecture relates images and text despite limited associated text. It leverages vision-to-text understanding for accurate tagging without per-class labels. Contrastive similarity techniques associate visual patterns with textual concepts. Automated tagging organizes user-generated content by topics using this scalable cross-modality approach.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2024Publication date: August 14, 2025Inventors: Jason Brewer, Shuo Han, Chang Kuang Huang, James Li, Yiwei Ma, Manish Malik, Yinan Na, Dan Xie, Jinchao Ye, Lili Zhang, Mingtao Zhang, Yining Zhang, Hangqi Zhao, Ding Zhou, Yang Zhou

Patent number: 12385854Abstract: The specification discloses methods of adjusting calibration data in an X-ray inspection system. Calibration data is initially generated. X-ray scan images of a cargo container are then acquired. Each of the X-ray scan images are segmented into regions of interest, where the regions of interest volumetrically encompass a known material or a material corresponding to a known HS code. Using the calibration data, first data indicative of Zeff of each of the regions of interest are determined. The first data is compared with second data indicative of known Zeff corresponding to the known materials and/or HS codes. The calibration data is then adjusted to generate a second calibration data if the first and second data differ significantly. The calibration data is replaced by the second calibration data in the memory.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2023Date of Patent: August 12, 2025Assignee: Rapiscan Holdings, Inc.Inventor: Dan-Cristian Dinca
