Abstract: A computer-implemented method of generating speech from a source voice of a speaker in a language for a speech device connected to the computer, where the speech device language is a non-native language of the speaker. The method includes inputting speech in the source voice, encoding the speech in the source voice into a content vector, retrieving top k similar content vectors from a vector representation database that substantially match phonetic patterns of the encoded source voice, generating a new voice waveform based on the similar content vectors that contains linguistic content of the source voice, but with the phonetic patterns of a native speaker's voice of the speech device language, and outputting the new voice waveform.

Abstract: A system and method includes a textual document search engine. The method initializes the textual document search engine by inputting, into a memory, a very large number of documents, where each document has textual sentences, and each sentence of each document has m semantic embedding vectors. The method maps the m semantic embedding vectors to 1-dimensional vectors of Hilbert numbers using a Hilbert curve transformation, constructs an index table with the 1-dimensional vectors, and stores the index table in the memory. The index table is used for efficient search by inputting a full query document, which has embedding vectors corresponding to sentences in the query document, where the query embedding vectors are mapped into 1-dimensional vectors of Hilbert numbers using Hilbert curve transformation. The index table is searched using the Hilbert numbers and candidate documents are retrieved that are similar to the query document based on the Hilbert numbers.

Abstract: A system and method measures in real time the reputation of products or services based on customer reviews and social media mentions. The method includes cyclically refining a search to collect, using a natural language processing (NLP) model, data relating to the products or services, and simultaneously recognizing product/service aspects and classifying sentiment for the collected data, using a single multi-task machine learning model.

Abstract: A system for resisting tampering, comprising: a device comprising a printed circuit board within a housing; at least one tamper sensor; and a conductive ink electrically connected to the printed circuit board and forming a conductive path when applied to a material. The conductive path has a defined electrical property, such as resistance or conductance. The printed circuit board is configured to both measure any changes in the defined electrical property and trigger an alert to a gateway located outside of the system, such as by a Bluetooth Low energy interface. Methods of resisting tampering of a variety of articles using the disclosed system are also disclosed. Articles comprising the disclosed system are also disclosed.

Abstract: An Arabic information extraction apparatus includes one or more processors configured to: receive a query comprising a long query or a short query; extract, using one or more language models, a named entity and a keyword from the query to generate extracted information; classify, using one or more classification models, the query to generate a classified query; convert the classified query and the extracted information into a dense vector representation; and determine and output a similarity match between the dense vector representation and a document vector representation of a knowledge base comprising an Islamic law document.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for identifying similar record elements to a query, the method including receiving a query, determining an index for the query, generating candidate records from a reference list to match the query based on the index and applying any one or any combination of a q-gram filter, a length filter, and a shared character count (SCC) filter, determining similarity scores of each of the candidate records identifying records from among the candidate records having a similarity score greater than or equal to a threshold, selecting data records similar to the query based on sorting the selected records according to respective similarity scores, and outputting one or more of the selected data records.
