Abstract: Standardizing a mention of an application component in a free-form text describing the technology stack of the application includes extracting the mention and encoding the mention with an embedding space encoder. The encoding creates an encoded representation of the mention in a multi-dimensional embedding space. The embedding space encoder implements a machine learning model trained using contrastive learning. The encoded representation of the mention is mapped to an encoded representation of an entity in the multi-dimensional embedding space, the entity extracted from a knowledge base of computer components. The entity whose encoded representation maps to the encoded representation of the mention can be output responsive to the mapping.

Abstract: Described are techniques for oblique image rectification. The techniques include receiving an original image depicting an oblique view of a circular object and pre-processing the original image into an edge image. The techniques further include generating, by a machine learning model based on the edge image, a heatmap including an ellipse formed by the oblique view of the circular object. The techniques further include computing ellipse parameters describing the ellipse of the heatmap. The techniques further include performing, using the ellipse parameters, an affine transformation on the original image to generate a rectified image, where the rectified image converts the ellipse to a circle.

Abstract: Machine learning classification using attribute-based calibration can include encoding a set of features extracted from computer-readable data associated with an object, the set of features describing one or more predetermined aspects of the object. A set of attribute predictions can be generated based on the set of features. The set of attribute predictions can be generated by a machine learning model that is capable of generating predictions for unseen attributes and that is trained using an attributes-level loss function. The attributes-level loss function can include an unseen attributes loss component that is computed only with respect unseen attributes. The set of attribute predications can be mapped to a set of predetermined attributes corresponding to one of a plurality of predetermined classes. An output of the machine learning classification is the classification of the object based on the mapping.

Abstract: Automated analog gauge reading is provided. The method comprises a computer system receiving input of an image and detecting at least one analog gauge in the image. The computer system corrects the orientation of the analog gauge in the image and detects scene text and tick labels on the analog gauge. The computer system determines a position of a pointer on the analog gauge relative to the scene text and outputs a gauge reading value based on an arithmetic progression of tick labels and angle of the pointer with respect to minimum and maximum values on the analog gauge.

Abstract: Systems, methods and/or computer program products for controlling and visualizing topic modeling results using a topic modeling interface. The interface allows user directed exploration, understanding and control of topic modeling algorithms, while offering both semantic summaries and/or structure attribute explanations about results. Explanations and differentiations between results are presented using metrics such as cohesiveness and visual displays depicting hierarchical organization. Through user-manipulation of features of the interface, iterative changes are implemented through user-feedback, adjusting parameters, broadening or narrowing topic results, and/or reorganizing topics by splitting or merging topics. As users trigger visual changes to results being displayed, users can compare and contrast output from the topic modeling algorithm.

Abstract: A method and system for auto-curating a media are provided. Media content is received over the network interface. A set of markers is identified for the media content, each marker corresponding to one of a plurality of visible and audible cues in the media content. Segments in the media content are identified based on the identified set of markers. An excitement score is computed for each segment based on the identified markers that fall within the segment. A highlight clip is generated by identifying segments having excitement scores greater than a threshold.

Abstract: An embodiment includes identifying an initial plurality of sets of hyperparameter values at which to evaluate an objective function that relates hyperparameter values to performance values of a neural network. The embodiment also executes training processes on the neural network with the hyperparameters set to the each of the initial sets of hyperparameter values such that the training process provides an initial set of the performance values for the objective function. The embodiment also generates an approximation of the objective function using splines at selected performance values. The embodiment approximates a point at which the approximation of the objective function reaches a maximum value, then determines an updated set of hyperparameter values associated with the maximum value. The embodiment then executes a runtime process using the neural network with the hyperparameters set to the updated set of hyperparameter values.
