Patent number: 12626287Abstract: A system, for example, an online system uses a machine learning based language model, for example, a large language model (LLM) to process crowd-sourced information provided by users. The crowd-sourced information may include comments from users represented as unstructured text. The system further receives queries from users and answers the queries based on the crowd-sourced information collected by the system. The system generates a prompt for input to a machine-learned language model based on the query. The system provides the prompt to the machine-learned language model for execution and receives a response from the machine-learned language model. The response comprises the insight on the topic and evidence for the insight. The evidence identifies one or more comments used to obtain the insight.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2024Date of Patent: May 12, 2026Assignee: Maplebear Inc.Inventors: Li Tan, Haixun Wang, Shishir Kumar Prasad, Tejaswi Tenneti, Aomin Wu, Jagannath Putrevu

Patent number: 12602361Abstract: An online system uses benchmarking tests to identify indexing algorithms for an embedding database. To perform these benchmarking tests, the online system receives a set of parameters for configuring an embedding database. For example, the parameters may include a performance parameter and a latency parameter. The online system generates algorithm scores for a set of candidate indexing algorithms based on the parameters. Specifically, the online system tests each of the candidate indexing algorithms by generating a testing database based on a subset of the entries for the full database and by performing benchmarking tests on the testing database. The online system uses these tests to compute performance metrics for each candidate indexing algorithm and uses those performance metrics to compute an algorithm score for each indexing algorithm. The online system uses the computed algorithm scores to select an indexing algorithm for the embedding database.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2024Date of Patent: April 14, 2026Assignee: Maplebear Inc.Inventors: Guanghua Shu, Jacob Jensen, Ankit Mittal, Li Tan, Haixun Wang, Andrew Tanner, Alex Charlton

Publication number: 20260090686Abstract: A vacuum cleaning system comprising a vacuum cleaner having a vacuum motor, a dirt bin, a primary separation system, a membrane filter, and an air valve arrangement configured to control air flow through at least the membrane filter. The vacuum cleaner is configured to be operable in a surface cleaning mode of operation and a self-cleaning mode of operation. In the surface cleaning mode of operation, the vacuum cleaner is configured such that the vacuum motor draws dirty air from a dirty-air inlet through the dirt bin, the primary separation system and the membrane filter in a first airflow direction, and, in the self-cleaning mode of operation, the vacuum cleaner is configured to permit air to flow from the air valve arrangement through the membrane filter in a second airflow direction to clean dirt from the membrane filter. Usefully, therefore, airflow can be routed through the vacuum cleaner in a second or ‘reverse’ direction to clean the caked on dirt from the membrane filter.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2025Publication date: April 2, 2026Inventors: John Freese, Street Barnett, Leo Yamazaki, Steven Gacin, Pengfei Liu, Yang Zhao, Mingjie Jiang, Wenxiu Gao, Jiancheng Wang, Kai Xu, Li Tan

Patent number: 12363605Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for a high priority route selection descriptor (RSD) selection timer. A protocol data unit (PDU) session may be established for an application associated with a user equipment (UE). If the PDU session is associated with a lower RSD priority than the highest RSD priority for the application, the UE may initiate an RSD selection timer. After expiration of the RSD selection timer, the UE may try to establish another PDU session for the application with the highest RSD priority for the application. If another PDU session with the highest RSD priority is accepted, the UE may release the initial PDU session with the lower RSD priority and establish a new PDU session with the highest RSD priority. Such implementations may increase data rates, quality of service, and reliability for the application, decrease latency of the application, or decrease power consumption of the UE.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2021Date of Patent: July 15, 2025Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Ying Wang, Li Tan, Chaofeng Hui, Tom Chin, Shailesh Maheshwari

Publication number: 20250022036Abstract: An online system selects an item to present to a user of the online system. The online system accesses user interaction data for the user. The online system transmits the user interaction data to a model serving system and receives, from the model serving system, item embeddings for the items with which the user interacted. The model serving system may use an LLM to generate the item embeddings based on the user interaction data. The online system generates a user embedding array based on the item embeddings. The online system applies a transformer network to the user embedding array to generate a user embedding describing the user. To select an item to present to the user, the online system compares the generated user embedding to item embeddings for a set of candidate items. The online system selects a candidate item based on the interaction scores.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2024Publication date: January 16, 2025Inventors: Chuanwei Ruan, Allan Stewart, Li Tan, Yunzhi Ye, Aref Kashani Nejad
