  • Publication number: 20250148308
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing generative artificial intelligence (AI) output validation using a generative AI output validation engine in an artificial intelligence system. The generative AI output validation engine assesses and determines the quality (e.g., quantified as an output validation score) of generative AI output (e.g., LLM output). In operation, a generative AI output comprising summary data is accessed. Raw data from which summary data is generated is accessed. A plurality of output validation operations associated with a generative AI output validation engine are executed. The generative AI output validation engine comprises multi-categorical analytical models that provide corresponding output validation operations for quantifying quality of generative AI outputs. Using the generative AI output validation engine, generating an output validation score for the summary data. Communicating the output validation score.

  • Publication number: 20250029051
    Abstract: In one aspect, a computer readable memory medium comprising program instructions for graphically developing a connectivity driver is provided. The computer readable memory medium is a non-transitory medium. The program instructions are executable by a processor to generate a purchase order for a laboratory item, transmit the purchase order to a remote computer in order to communicate the purchase order to a vendor, receive an advance shipping notice generated in response to the purchase order, receive item information stored in an RFID tag of a tagged item received at the delivery location, and check the item information against the advance shipping notice in order to verify that the tagged item is the same as the ordered laboratory item. The purchase order specifies a delivery location.

  • Publication number: 20240425264
    Abstract: A convertible bag includes a fabric panel, a first pocket and a second pocket affixed to the fabric panel, and one or more zippers for the fabric panel. The first and second pockets configured to receive a respective ground stake. The fabric panel includes a first side edge, a second side edge, a first transverse edge, and a second transverse edge. In a zipped position, the zipper(s) couple the first side edge to the second side edge and couple a first portion of the second transverse edge to a second portion of the second transverse edge, such that the fabric panel forms a decoy bag. In the unzipped position, the fabric panel forms a hunting blind. A method of operating a convertible bag includes converting the convertible bag from a decoy bag into a hunting blind using zipper(s).

  • Patent number: 11846514
    Abstract: Techniques for assisting a passenger to identify a vehicle and for assisting a vehicle to identify a passenger are discussed herein. Also discussed herein are techniques for capturing data via sensors on a vehicle or user device and for presenting such data in various formats. For example, in the context of a ride hailing service using autonomous vehicles, the techniques discussed herein can be used to identify a passenger of the autonomous vehicle at the start of a trip, and can be used to assist a passenger to identify an autonomous vehicle that has been dispatched for that particular passenger. Additionally, data captured by sensors of the vehicle and/or by sensors of a user device can be used to initiate a ride, determine a pickup location, orient a user within an environment, and/or provide visualizations or augmented reality elements to provide information and/or enrich a user experience.
