Publication number: 20230351227Abstract: A modular machine learning-as-a-service (MLAAS) system uses machine learning to respond to tasks without requiring machine learning modeling or design knowledge by its users. The MLAAS system receives an inference request including a model identifier and a target defining features for use in processing the inference request. The features correspond to a task for evaluation using a machine learning model associated with the model identifier. An inference outcome is generated by processing the inference request using the target as input to the model. Feedback indicating an accuracy of the inference outcome with respect to the task is later received and used to generate a training data set, which the MLAAS can use to further train model used to generate the inference outcome. As a result, the training of a machine learning model by the MLAAS system is limited to using data resulting from an inference performed using that model.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: George BANIS, Adam Starikiewicz, Kevin M. Walsh, Stephen Purcell, Hector Urdiales, Andrea Bergonzo

Patent number: 5614722Abstract: A radiation detector includes a substrate having a cavity defined therein, an anode surface positioned in the bottom of the cavity and a cathode positioned adjacent the cavity opening. A drift electrode is juxtaposed over the substrate opposite the cavity and defines a region containing a gaseous medium. As ionized charge pairs are established in the gaseous medium due to radiation provided by an external radiation source, electrons drift toward the anode under the influence of a first electric field established between the anode and drift electrode. Thereafter, the electron undergoes avalanche multiplication with the gaseous medium in an avalanche region defined by a second intense electric field established between the anode and cathode. The structure of the present invention provides an electric field gradient geometry which permits optimal design of the avalanche region geometry, and which further minimizes photon feedback from the cathode.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 1995Date of Patent: March 25, 1997Assignee: University of Louisville Research Foundation, Inc.Inventors: Keith Solberg, William K.
