Abstract: This disclosure describes a system and method for generating images and location data of a subsurface object using existing infrastructure as a source. Many infrastructure objects (e.g., pipes, cables, conduits, wells, foundation structures) are constructed of rigid materials and have a known shape and location. Additionally these infrastructure objects can have exposed portions that are above or near the surface and readily accessible. A signal generator can be affixed to the exposed portion of the infrastructure object, which induces acoustic energy, or vibrations in the object. The object with affixed signal generator can then be used as a source in performing a subsurface imaging of subsurface objects, which are not exposed.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a system and method for generating a subsurface model representing lithological characteristics and attributes of the subsurface of a celestial body or planet. By automatically ingesting data from many sources, a machine learning system can infer information about the characteristics of regions of the subsurface and build a model representing the subsurface rock properties. In some cases, this can provide information about a region using inferred data, where no direct measurements have been taken. Remote sensing data, such as aerial or satellite imagery, gravimetric data, magnetic field data, electromagnetic data, and other information can be readily collected or is already available at scale.

Abstract: An apparatus for biometric security having a biometric scanner for capturing over a first field of view image data representative of one or more biometric objects associated with a subject, and a presentation attack detection system for capturing over a second field at one or more locations along the subject information indicative of presence of the one or more biometric objects. One or more processers utilizes the image data received from the biometric scanner to select such one or more locations, and to direct the second field of view of the presentation attack detection system to obtain the information along one or more of the selected one or more locations, and to determine in accordance with the information when the first field of view contains a true or fake presentation to the biometric scanner.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for representing words or phrases, and using the representation to perform NLP and NLU tasks, where these tasks include sentiment analysis, question answering, and conference resolution. Embodiments introduce a type of deep contextualized word representation that models both complex characteristics of word use, and how these uses vary across linguistic contexts. The word vectors are learned functions of the internal states of a deep bidirectional language model (biLM), which is pre-trained on a large text corpus. These representations can be added to existing task models and significantly improve the state of the art across challenging NLP problems, including question answering, textual entailment and sentiment analysis.

Abstract: A shoe that grows comprises a sole having a toe, medial side, lateral side, and heel. The toe of the sole extends outwardly to form a toe cap. A vamp member is adjustably connected to a free end of the toe cap. At least one medial strap connects the vamp member to the medial side of the sole. At least one lateral strap connects the vamp member to the lateral side of the sole. An adjustable heel strap connects to the medial and lateral sides of the sole and extends around the heel of the sole.
