  • Patent number: 11803763
    Abstract: Classification predictions made by a concept classifier may be interactively visualized and explored in a user interface that displays visual representations of a plurality of data items in a star coordinate space spanned by a plurality of anchor concepts each mapping the data items onto respective finite real-valued scores. Positions of the visual representations of the data items in the star coordinate space are based on the scores for the plurality of anchor concepts, and may be updated responsive to a user manipulating the anchor concepts in the user interface, e.g., by moving or modifying definitions of anchor concepts, or by adding or deleting anchor concepts. The visual representations of the data items may reflect labels and/or classification predictions, and may be updated based on updated classification predictions following retraining the of the concept classifier based on added training data or new features.

  • Patent number: 6215472
    Abstract: A direction control device of a joystick includes a joystick seat, a hemispherical joystick structure, a U shape piece, a substrate, and two fan-shaped encoder structures. At least two infrared detectors are installed on each side of each of the fan-shaped encoder structures. When one set of the infrared detectors has detected movement of openings in the encoder structures, the signals 0 and 1 will be generated and used to control the positions of the coordinate axes of the joystick. When the joystick is released, the encoder structures will return to a central point at which a second set of the encoder structures detects reset holes positioned above the openings in the fan-shaped encoder structures.
