  • Patent number: 12694702
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for training an electronic document extraction model, including the generation of the training data to train the model based on sampling a pool of electronic documents based on a rareness metric of the documents. Each electronic document has a document-level rareness metric generated, with the document-level rareness metric being based on one or more of a structural rareness metric or a content rareness metric of the document. The structural rareness metric measures the rareness of the document structure, which may be irrespective of the text content of the document. The content rareness metric measures the rareness of the document content, which may be irrespective of the document structure. The electronic documents are sampled based on the document-level rareness metrics to increase the number of rare documents in the training data without unduly biasing the sampling to optimize the training data for training the extraction model.

  • Publication number: 20260213934
    Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to the field of data sharing and particularly discloses an access control method based on outsourced computation and attribute-based searchable encryption on blockchain. The method comprises steps of generating a system public key and a master key, and generating a user attribute private key; formulating an access control policy to assist an outsourced encryption service provider in performing a partial encryption using a data ciphertext storage address and a symmetric key, and uploading a blockchain; generating a search trapdoor and sending the search trapdoor to the blockchain to verify the user attribute; and partially decrypting the ciphertext with assistance of the outsourced decryption service, followed by local decryption to obtain a data storage address and the symmetric key. The present disclosure alleviates the computational burden of local encryption and decryption for users, and leads to a significant improvement in data sharing efficiency and security.

  • Publication number: 20260176790
    Abstract: Systems and apparatus for a reduced mass substrate support are disclosed, according to certain embodiments. A front side pocket is provided for support of a substrate, while a backside pocket is provided that reduces the mass of the substrate support. By providing the backside pocket, the mass of the overall substrate support is reduced, providing faster thermal cycling times for the substrate support and reducing the weight of the substrate support for transport. Lift pin systems, according to disclosed embodiments, are compatible with existing pedestal systems by providing a hollow extension from each lift pin hole that extends from a bottom of the backside pocket to provide support for lift pin insertion and operation.

  • Publication number: 20260178573
    Abstract: A GraphQL query generation system uses a tunable Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture that includes a top-K predictor that receives natural language queries and predicts a number of items to be retrieved by a retriever for each natural language query. A retriever receives the natural language queries and in response retrieves a set of top-K attributes associated with the natural language queries and the number of items to be retrieved as provided by the top-K predictor. The retriever may be a neural database retriever that is configured to perform a multiple class hash key prediction by encoding the natural language query with a hash key and retrieving attributes that are assigned a same hash key. The GraphQL query generating large language model (LLM) receives the natural language queries and the set of top-K attributes and in response generate the GraphQL queries. The top-K predictor and the LLM are co-trained together.

  • Publication number: 20260146056
    Abstract: A preparation method for a morpholine-based organophosphine ligand includes the steps of: adding 1,3-dibromobenzene, morpholine, an inorganic base, and a first catalyst to a reactor under a nitrogen (N2) atmosphere, and using tetrahydrofuran (THF) as a reaction solvent; reacting a mixture at 45-55° C. for 5-7 h; lowering a reaction temperature to ?75 to ?80° C., and adding n-butyllithium (nBuLi); and raising the reaction temperature to 0° C. after stirring, and adding a second catalyst and a halophosphine reagent for reaction to obtain a morpholine-based organophosphine ligand. A method for synthesizing novel morpholine-based organophosphine ligands under mild conditions of the present disclosure has been successfully applied in palladium (Pd)-catalyzed carbon-nitrogen (C—N) bond formation reactions, demonstrating high efficiency and selectivity, simplifying reaction conditions, and broadening the scope of application.

  • Patent number: 12632675
    Abstract: A method of extracting information from documents. The method simplifies the extraction of information from documents by first converting them into machine-readable text via OCR. It then employs a text embedding model to represent the text as high-dimensional vectors. These vectors are clustered to pinpoint natural groupings and representative document clusters. An example document from each cluster is chosen, guided by the number of non-empty fields and its relation to other documents. This selection informs the creation of an in-context-learning prompt, which includes accurately annotated labels and a system prompt defining the task for the LLM. The LLM is then prompted to extract information from a new document's OCR text, leveraging the constructed prompt for guidance.
