  • Patent number: 12217011
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computer-implemented processes that generate adaptive textual explanations of output using trained artificial intelligence processes. For example, an apparatus may generate an input dataset based on elements of first interaction data associated with a first temporal interval, and based on an application of a trained artificial intelligence process to the input dataset, generate output data representative of a predicted likelihood of an occurrence of an event during a second temporal interval. Further, and based on an application of a trained explainability process to the input dataset, the apparatus may generate an element of textual content that characterizes an outcome associated with the predicted likelihood of the occurrence of the event, where the element of textual content is associated with a feature value of the input dataset. The apparatus may also transmit a portion of the output data and the element of textual content to a computing system.

  • Publication number: 20250035929
    Abstract: An optical assembly is disclosed in which two input pupils of light are projected onto an input grating. The input pupils can be overlapping or non-overlapping. The input grating is configured to receive the input pupils and to diffract them so that they are coupled towards an output element in parallel directions that are laterally separated from one another. The input pupils can be received respectively at a first portion and a second portion of an output element, on either side of a dividing line. The input pupils are received at positions that are symmetrically displaced from the dividing line. The first portion and the second portion are mirror-images of one another, and each can expand light from respective input pupils in an equal and opposite way.
