  • Publication number: 20240202556
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product generate precomputed explanation scores in AI systems. The method includes obtaining a set of labeled transactions comprising input features and corresponding output labels generated by a machine learning (ML) model and generating an explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) module. The generating includes clustering the labeled transactions based on the input features, scoring homogeneity of the clustered transactions based on the corresponding output labels, and selecting at least one cluster from the clustered transactions based on the homogeneity scoring. The generating further includes obtaining, by an explainability model, explainability scores for transactions in the at least one cluster, generating a unified explainability score for the at least one cluster based on the explainability scores, and storing the unified explainability score in a set of precomputed explanations.

  • Publication number: 20240142659
    Abstract: The present specification discloses a high speed scanning system for scanning cargo carried by rail. The system uses of a two-dimensional X-ray sensor array with, in one embodiment, a cone-beam X-ray geometry. The pulse rate of X-ray source is modulated based on the speed of the moving cargo to allow a distance travelled by the cargo between X-ray pulses to be equal to the width of the detector, for a single energy source, and to half the width of the detector for a dual energy source. This ensures precise timing between the X-ray exposure and the speed of the passing object, and thus accurate scanning of cargo even at high speeds.

  • Publication number: 20240122706
    Abstract: A replacement heart valve prosthesis is loaded onto a balloon mounted onto a balloon shaft of a catheter system. The balloon shaft is rotatably engaged with an actuator on the handle of the catheter system. Rotation of the actuator by a first amount in a first direction permits rotation of the heart valve prosthesis by a known amount during the procedure so that alignment of the commissures of the replacement valve with the commissures of the existing valve can be predictably achieved.
