  • Patent number: 11720754
    Abstract: Claim verification is facilitated by identifying a selection of textual content within a user interface, accessing a claim detection module, inputting the textual content into the claim detection module to detect one or more claims within the selection of textual content, accessing an evidence extraction module, using the evidence extraction module to automatically search one or more reference repositories for one or more related references that have content that is related to the detected one or more claims, automatically determining whether the content in the one or more related references supports or refutes the one or more claims using a claim verification module, and, in response to determining a set of references of the one or more related references supports or refutes the one or more claims, presenting a support indicator or a refute indicator within the user interface in association with the one or more claims.

  • Publication number: 20230207071
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a model flow that generates eligibility criteria for a clinical trial based on eligibility criteria associated with a protocol title of the trial. Unlike standard black-box generation models, the techniques disclosed herein leverage existing knowledge to enhance the title. The enhanced title also acts as an intermediate between the title and the generated criteria clauses, enabling explicit control of the generated content as well as an explanation of why the generated content is relevant. The resulting workflow is knowledge-grounded, controllable, transparent, and interpretable.

  • Publication number: 20230090178
    Abstract: Provided are a preparation method and system for a recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) and a recombinant bacmid. The method comprises: first reconstructing a recombinant bacmid containing a recombinant baculovirus genome that produces essential functional elements for an rAAV, at least one of the essential functional elements being inserted into the N-terminal or C-terminal of a locus of an essential gene of the recombinant baculovirus genome; and then transfecting the obtained recombinant bacmid containing the recombinant baculovirus genome that produces the rAAV into a host cell line for culturing to prepare an rAAV. Compared with recombinant baculoviruses obtained by conventional Tn7 recombinant preparations of recombinant bacmid, the recombinant baculovirus obtained by inserting a core element containing Cap, Rep and ITR into two sides of a baculovirus essential gene has a more stable rAAV serial passage production level in a cell and has a higher rAAV yield.

  • Publication number: 20230074788
    Abstract: Machine learning to predict a layout type that each of a plurality of portions of a document appears in. This is done even though the computer-readable representation of the document does not contain information at the granularity of the prediction to be made that identifies which layout type that each of the plurality of document portions belongs in. For each of a plurality of the portions, the machine-learning system predicts the layout type that the respective portion appears in, and indexes the document using the predictions so as to result in a computer-readable index. The index represents a predicted layout type associated with each of the plurality of portions of the document. Thus, the index can be used to search based on position of a searched term within the document.

  • Patent number: 11600965
    Abstract: A method (900) includes a gain current (IGAIN) to an anode of a gain-section diode (D0) disposed on a shared substrate of a tunable laser (310), delivering a modulation signal to an anode of an Electro-absorption section diode (D2) disposed on the shared substrate of the tunable laser, and receiving a burst mode signal (330) indicative of a burst-on state or a burst-off state. When the burst mode signal is indicative of the burst-off state, the method includes sinking a sink current (ISINK) away from the gain current at the anode of the gain-section diode. When the burst mode signal transitions to be indicative of the burst-on state from the burst-off state, the method includes ceasing the sinking of the sink current away from the gain current and delivering an overshoot current (IOVER) to the anode of the gain-section diode.

  • Publication number: 20230027757
    Abstract: An integrated pressure condensing boiler is provided which relates to the technical field of boilers. The integrated pressure condensing boiler includes a pressure-bearing housing, a heat-exchange furnace arranged in the pressure-bearing housing, a combustion chamber communicating with the heat-exchange furnace and cooling tube groups fixed in the heat-exchange furnace. Heat-exchange medium flows from bottom to top in the pressure-bearing housing and in the cooling tube groups, and exchanges heat with high-temperature flue gas flowing from top to bottom in the heat-exchange furnace, thus achieving a counterflow heat exchanging. The heat-exchange furnace includes a multi-stage heat-exchange chamber with each heat-exchange chamber being cylindrical. The heat-exchange chambers are arranged in sequence from top to bottom to achieve a flue gas diffusing manner that high-temperature flue gas diffuses from center part to periphery and then gathers from periphery to center part.

  • Patent number: 11556802
    Abstract: The improved exercise of artificial intelligence by providing a systematic way for a computing system to interface with output from AI models. To do this, the computing system obtains results of an input data set being applied to an AI model. The results are then refined based upon characteristic(s) of the AI model and perhaps the input data set. Based upon characteristic(s) of the AI model and perhaps the input data set, interface element(s) are identified that can be used to interface with the refined results. The interface element(s) are then communicated to an interface element that interfaces with the refined results. The interface element(s) may include, for instance, operator(s) or term(s) that may be used to query against the refined results and/or an identification of visualization(s) that may be used to present to a user results of queries against the refined results.

  • Patent number: 11429654
    Abstract: The improved exercise of artificial intelligence. Raw output data is obtained by applying an input data set to an artificial intelligence (AI). Such raw output data is sometimes difficult to interpret. The principles defined herein provide a systematic way to refine the output for a wide variety of AI models. An AI model collection characterization structure is utilized for purpose of refining AI model output so as to be more useful. The characterization structure represents, for each of multiple and perhaps numerous AI models, a refinement of output data that resulted from application of an AI model to input data. Upon obtaining output data from the AI model, the appropriate refinement may then be applied. The refined data may then be semantically indexed to provide a semantic index. The characterization structure may also provide tailored information to allow for intuitive querying against the semantic index.
