Abstract: One or more embodiments of the disclosure provide systems and methods for providing media presentations to users of a media presentation system. A media presentation generally includes a plurality of media segments provided by multiple users of the media presentation system. In one or more embodiments, a user of the media presentation system may share a media presentation with a co-user. The media presentation system can enable the co-user, if authorized by the user, to contribute (e.g., add a media segment) to a media presentation shared with the co-user.

Abstract: A low-profile universal passive protector for an IV catheter includes a connector having a tubular body and a pair of arms pivotally connected thereto. The tubular body defines an end face and the connector includes a cavity extending from the end face. An elongate sheath is snap engageable to the tubular body. A spring is insertable within the connector cavity to extend between at least one of the pair of arms and the elongate sheath when received within the cavity. A slider is moveably coupled to the sheath. The slider includes a flashback chamber formed therein. A hypodermic needle is connected to the slider and is in fluid communication with the flashback chamber. The slider is moveable along the sheath between a first position and a second position, with the hypodermic needle being drawn into the sheath as the slider moves from the first position toward the second position.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for utilizing machine learning techniques to analyze data associated with one or more dental practices to identify missed treatment opportunities, future treatment opportunities, or provider performance metrics. The treatment opportunities or performance metrics may be determined or identified based at least in part on a comparison of patient data, such as data stored in association with a dental office's practice management system, with the output of one or more machine learning models' processing of associated radiograph images of the dental office's patients. The one or more machine learning models may include models that identify, from image data of a radiograph, a dental condition depicted in the radiograph, which may be mapped by a computer system to a corresponding dental treatment recommended for the identified dental condition.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for automatically identifying fraud, waste or abuse in health insurance claims submitted to insurance companies by healthcare providers. Insurance claim information and at one image associated with the insurance claim may be received, where the image has been submitted by a healthcare provider to an insurance carrier as supporting evidence of a medical service performed by the healthcare provider. The system may generate a digital signature representing the image, then may compare the digital signature generated for the image to previously generated digital signatures of other images that have been submitted in association with other insurance claims. The system may then determine a likelihood that the given insurance claim is associated with fraud, waste or abuse, based in part on whether the digital signature is identical or close to one or more of the previously generated digital signatures.

The real world anchor points may be specified in terms of a geographic coordinate system, and game play may be based on mobile device presence at or about the anchor points.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for automatically evaluating a claim submitted to an insurance carrier. Claim information and at least one image associated with the claim may be received, where the image has been submitted to a carrier as supporting evidence of a service performed by a submitter of the claim. The system may provide image data and other claim information from the submitted claim as input to machine learning models configured to identify whether the image data, such as a radiograph, supports the other data in the claim submission, such as a treatment code.

Abstract: Method and system for executing a one-time program comprising at least one instruction operating on at least one input value (a, b) and returning at least one output value (O), wherein each instruction of the one-time program is encoded onto a state of an elementary quantum system, comprising: encoding the at least one input value (a, b) onto a quantum gate according to a pre-defined input-encoding scheme; applying the quantum gate to the at least one elementary quantum system; making a measurement of a resulting state of the at least one elementary quantum system after the quantum gate; and determining the at least one output value from a result of the measurement.

Abstract: A device may receive parameters to test modifications to an application associated with a product and/or a service, and may process data identifying the parameters and the application, with a machine learning model, to generate test applications for testing corresponding modifications to the application. The device may define test group sizes of test groups for testing the test applications, and may receive, from user devices, requests for accessing the application. The device may assign, based on the test group sizes, sets of the user devices to the test groups for testing the test applications, and may provide the test applications concurrently to the corresponding sets of the user devices based on the test groups. The device may receive, from the corresponding sets of the user devices, feedback associated with the test applications, and may perform one or more actions based on the feedback.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating labeled image data for improved training of an image classifier, such as a multi-layered machine learning model configured to identify target image objects in image data. When the initially trained classifier is unable to identify a particular object in input image data, such as an object that did not appear in initial training data, feature information determined by the classifier for the given image data may be provided to a clustering model. The clustering model may group image data having similar features into different clusters or groups, which may in turn be labeled at the group level by an annotator. The image data assigned to the different clusters, along with the associated labels, may subsequently be used as training data for training a classifier to identify the labeled objects in images.
