Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for searching media content. In some implementation examples, a search system receives an input query, generates a query embedding of the input query, and generates a bias mitigation transformation associated with a sensitive attribute. Based on the query embedding and the bias mitigation transformation, the search system generates a transformed query embedding that suppresses at least a portion of the query embedding related to the sensitive attribute. Using the transformed query embedding, the search system executes a similarity search in a media embedding model to identify one or more media embeddings that are similar to the transformed query embedding and transmits the one or more media embeddings.

Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, a physical game element such as a wagering chip or a playing card may be utilized to implement a promotion scheme on an electronic game table (e.g., using RFID or optical imaging technology). During a game it may be determined whether the element is associated with special functionality (e.g., entitles the player to a payout multiplier, special payout table, bonus prize or other benefit). The special functionality may have been previously associated with the element or associated with the element during the game (e.g., dynamically and/or randomly). In accordance with some embodiments a player is not able to readily discern the special functionality by a physical inspection of the physical game element and is only notified of the special functionality once the physical game element is used in a qualifying action (e.g., during a wager at an electronic game table).

Abstract: The present disclosure includes methods for improving surgical precision and outcomes in medical procedures through the use of an augmented reality system. The method involves generating a preoperative plan by visualizing a holographic representation of a patient's anatomy within an augmented reality environment, recording procedure data based on the preoperative plan, updating the augmented reality system using the recorded data, and applying the updated system to establish a continuous improvement feedback loop. This approach enhances surgical accuracy and patient outcomes by integrating real-time data feedback into the surgical process, thereby optimizing surgical procedures and promoting continuous improvement in medical practices.
