  • Publication number: 20260154561
    Abstract: Methods and systems for training a summarization neural network through reinforcement learning. As part of the training, entity context data for a particular entity can be received. A ground truth label for a downstream prediction task for the particular entity can be received. The entity context data can be processed using a summarization neural network to generate a summary of the entity context data. A predicted output for the downstream prediction task can be generated from the summary of the entity context data. A reward can be determined from the predicted output and the ground truth label. Then, the summarization neural network can be trained using the reward through reinforcement learning.

  • Publication number: 20260049015
    Abstract: Provided is a tail water treatment and recycling system for aquaculture configured to identify the overall water body inside the aquaculture pond to determine the distribution status information of tail water within the pond. It also performs non-contact scanning detection on the water body inside the sedimentation tank, analyzes the sedimentation movement data of sediments within the tank, and evaluates this data to ensure maximum sediment settlement. Furthermore, it determines the reaction progress information inside the decomposition tank, and subsequently adjusts the environmental conditions for decomposition reactions within the tank, effectively reducing the nutrient concentration in the tail water. According to the oxygen content of the water body in the pond, it also adjusts the oxygenation operation for the tail water that has undergone decomposition, ensuring that the pond can continuously and stably receive a supply of clean, high-oxygen recycled water.
