  • Publication number: 20260320072
    Abstract: Methods and systems for updating and synchronizing graph-based data across a computer network in a distributed computing environment are disclosed. A system can transmit a digital record comprising a visual representation of one or more sub-graph data structures to a computing device. The digital record can comprise a request for additional information for a sequence of nodes. The system can receive an augmented digital record updated with the additional information from the computing device of the first node. The system can update, based at least on the additional information, at least one node of the sequence of nodes and regenerate the visual representation. The system can identify one or more other nodes of the sequence of nodes to propagate the update to the digital record. The system can propagate the augmented digital record to a computing system of each of the identified one or more other nodes.

  • Publication number: 20260322682
    Abstract: A system may identify a node in a network graph data structure. The system may identify a matrix identifying quantities of inputs and outputs of a network operation for a networked item. The system may identify a plurality of input nodes connected by edge data structures with the node providing inputs for the network operation. For each of the plurality of input nodes, the system may generate a weight for one or more attributes of one or more technologies used by the input node based on the quantities of the inputs provided by the input node for the network operation. The system may execute a model using the weights for the input nodes and the matrix to generate an emission intensity for each input. The system may calculate an emission of the networked item based at least on the emission intensities of the inputs of the plurality of suppliers.

  • Publication number: 20260322850
    Abstract: A system receives a request including an identification of a network operation including a transfer of one or more networked items between an entity of a source node and an entity of a destination node and a text description of the one or more networked items. The system identifies one or more sub-graph data structures of nodes corresponding to the source node or the destination node from a network graph data structure and identifies nodes connected to the source and destination nodes. The system retrieves node data from the source node, destination node, and connected nodes. The system generates an embedding of the text description of the items and executes one or more models using the embedding and node data to generate a network operation risk score. The system restricts the network operation by transmitting a message to the computing device when the risk score exceeds a threshold.

  • Publication number: 20260320052
    Abstract: Systems and methods for reduced hallucination classification by constraining a large language model based on a network graph data structure are disclosed. A server can include a network graph data structure, a classification model, a large language model, and a task agent in communication with the network graph data structure, the classification model, and the large language model. The server can be configured to receive a request comprising an identification of a networked item; execute the task agent to execute the classification model and the large language model to generate a composite set of candidate classification codes; retrieve a description of each candidate classification code of the composite set of candidate classification codes; execute the large language model to generate a selected candidate classification code; and update the network graph data structure based on the selected candidate classification code for the networked item.

  • Publication number: 20260320073
    Abstract: Methods and systems for updating and synchronizing graph-based data across a computer network in a distributed computing environment are disclosed. A system can create a digital record that corresponds to a task. The system can transmit the digital record to a computing device of at least one entity of a node of a network of nodes with a request for additional information for a sequence of nodes. The system can receive an augmented digital record updated with the additional information from the second computing device associated with a node of the network graph data structure. The system can update a node of the network graph data structure associated with the augmented digital record and regenerate. The system can generate a second digital record comprising a second visual representation generated responsive to the update to the node of the network graph data structure.

  • Publication number: 20260322832
    Abstract: Techniques are described for detecting compromised nodes in a computing device network using graph-based analysis of network relationships. A network graph stores nodes representing entities and edges representing network operations, each edge including a corresponding operation risk score. Attributes associated with an entity and risk scores of edges connected to the entity's node are aggregated to produce a composite network operation risk score. A model is executed using the entity attributes and the composite risk score to generate an entity risk score. As new network operations occur, new edges and associated risk scores are added to the graph and the composite risk score and entity risk score are updated. When an updated entity risk score exceeds a threshold, an alert is generated identifying the corresponding node as a potentially compromised network node.

  • Publication number: 20260294419
    Abstract: A surgical self-retaining retractor system includes a self-retaining retractor having first and second tissue engaging members that oppose one another and maintain an opening in an incision. First and second force sensors are respectively coupled to the first and second tissue engaging members such that the force sensors detect force being exerted thereon by tissue when the self-retaining retractor is maintaining an opening through the incision.

  • Patent number: 12737802
    Abstract: An online concierge system maintains a taxonomy associating one or more specific items offered by a warehouse with a generic item description. When the online concierge system receives a request to create an order from a user, the online concierge system selects a set of generic item descriptions from previously received orders and displays depictions of each generic item of the set to the user via an interface. In response to the user selecting a generic item description, the online concierge system identifies specific items associated with the selected generic item description from the taxonomy. Different identified specific items are displayed via the interface, for example as a scrollable list, allowing the user to select specific items for an order via the interface after selecting one or more generic item descriptions via the interface.

  • Publication number: 20260261483
    Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically modifying a network graph data structure are disclosed. A server can identify a digital record for a networked item, the digital record identifying sub-graph data structures of the network graph data structure, each sub-graph linked to a node of a profile for the networked item and comprising a chain of nodes representing a path of the networked item from a source node to a destination node. The path can represent network operations of the networked item through connected nodes. Each node can represent an entity performing a network operation, and each edge can represent movement of the networked item between nodes. The server can transmit a message containing a link to the digital record, provision a view responsive to selection of the link, receive an indication that the chain does not meet thresholds, and modify the chain to satisfy those thresholds.

  • Publication number: 20260260010
    Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically revising a structure of a network graph data structure using a generated view of the network graph data structure are disclosed. A system can receive a request to generate a digital record for a networked item comprising an identification of the networked item. The system can identify a node for a profile for the networked item from a network graph data structure and identify a plurality of attributes of the networked item stored at or with the node. The system can identify one or more sub-graph data structures each linked to the node and comprising a chain of nodes forming a path of instances of the networked item from a source node to a destination node. The system can generate and communicate the digital record and revise a node or edge of the one or more sub-graph data structures based on a user input.
