Abstract: In example embodiments, techniques are provided that use two different ML models (a symbol association ML model and a link association ML model), one to extract associations between text labels and one to extract associations between symbols and links, in a schematic diagram (e.g., P&ID) in an image-only format. The two models may use different ML architectures. For example, the symbol association ML model may use a deep learning neural network architecture that receives for each possible text label and symbol pair both a context and a request, and produces a score indicating confidence the pair is associated. The link association ML model may use a gradient boosting tree architecture that receives for each possible text label and link pair a set of multiple features describing at least the geometric relationship between the possible text label and link pair and produces a score indicating confidence the pair is associated.

Abstract: Techniques for enabling a library of local maps to remain de-coupled from a global map are disclosed. An MR system is determined to be located on a platform that is currently moving or that has an ability to readily move. That platform's type is determined.
