  • Publication number: 20250138217
    Abstract: Systems and methods describe providing deep learning-based detection of gravitational waves. In one embodiment, the system: trains a deep learning classifier using a first set of waveform data from GW detectors; applies the trained deep learning classifier to a second set of waveform data to identify candidate GW signals; generates an SNR ranking statistic from the output of the trained deep learning classifier; determines SNR rankings of the candidate GW signals using the generated SNR ranking statistic; evaluates the compatibility between candidate GW signals from different detectors by comparing arrival times and parameters of the candidate GW signals; estimates a plurality of detection significance scores associated with the candidate GW signals by analyzing clusters of identified candidate GW signals that pass or fail the compatibility evaluation; and outputs at least a subset of the identified GW signals based on their SNR rankings and detection significance scores.

  • Publication number: 20250139379
    Abstract: Implementations relate to generating multi-modal response(s) through utilization of large language model(s) (LLM(s)) and other generative model(s). Processor(s) of a system can: receive natural language (NL) based input, generate a multi-modal response that is responsive to the NL based output, and cause the multi-modal response to be rendered. In some implementations, and in generating the multi-modal response, the processor(s) can process, using a LLM, LLM input to generate LLM output, and determine, based on the LLM output, textual content and generative multimedia content for inclusion in the multi-modal response. In some implementations, the generative multimedia content can be generated by another generative model (e.g., an image generator, a video generator, an audio generator, etc.) based on generative multimedia content prompt(s) included in the LLM output and that is indicative of the generative multimedia content.

  • Patent number: 12277267
    Abstract: A processing system provides two-way communication between an electroanatomic navigation and mapping system (EAMS) and a head-mounted display (HMD). A user wearing the HMD can use hands-free or touch-free actions to interact with a user interface for EAMS information displayed by the HMD (e.g., 3D augmented reality graphics) or by a display monitor (e.g., 2D graphics). For example, the processing system updates the position of a cursor on the display monitor to track a gaze direction of the user as determined by the HMD.

  • Patent number: 12277400
    Abstract: Implementations relate to managing multimedia content that is obtained by large language model(s) (LLM(s)) and/or generated by other generative model(s). Processor(s) of a system can: receive natural language (NL) based input that requests multimedia content, generate a response that is responsive to the NL based input, and cause the response to be rendered. In some implementations, and in generating the response, the processor(s) can process, using a LLM, LLM input to generate LLM output, and determine, based on the LLM output, at least multimedia content to be included in the response. Further, the processor(s) can evaluate the multimedia content to determine whether it should be included in the response. In response to determining that the multimedia content should not be included in the response, the processor(s) can cause the response, including alternative multimedia content or other textual content, to be rendered.
