  • Publication number: 20220043982
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for language mapping are described. Some machine learning models may be trained to support multiple languages. However, word embedding alignments may be too general to accurately capture the meaning of certain words when mapping different languages into a single reference vector space. To improve the accuracy of vector mapping, a system may implement a supervised learning layer to refine the cross-lingual alignment of particular vectors corresponding to a vocabulary of interest (e.g., toxic language). This supervised learning layer may be trained using a dictionary of toxic words or phrases across the different supported languages in order to learn how to weight an initial vector alignment to more accurately map the meanings behind insults, threats, or other toxic words or phrases between languages. The vector output from this weighted mapping can be sent to supervised models, trained on the reference vector space, to determine toxicity scores.

  • Publication number: 20210327534
    Abstract: Methods for determining a disease condition of a subject of a species are provided that comprises obtaining a dataset of fragment methylation patterns determined by methylation sequencing of nucleic acid from a biological sample of the subject. A fragment methylation pattern comprises the methylation state of each CpG site in the fragment. A patch including a channel comprising parameters for the methylation status of respective CpG sites in a set of CpG sites in a reference genome represented by the patch is constructed by populating, for each respective fragment in the plurality of fragments that aligns to the set of CpG sites, an instance of all or a portion of the plurality of parameters based on the methylation pattern of the respective fragment. Application of the patch to a patch convolutional neural network determines the disease condition of the subject.
