  • Publication number: 20200242484
    Abstract: Complex computer system architectures are described for utilizing a knowledge data graph comprised of elements, and selecting a discovery element to replace an existing element of a formulation depicted in the knowledge data graph. The substitution process takes advantage of the knowledge data graph structure to improve the computing capabilities of a computing device executing a substitution calculation by translating the knowledge data graph into an embedding space, and determining a discovery element from within the embedding space.

  • Publication number: 20200219245
    Abstract: A process receives, with a processor, video content. Further, the process splices, with the processor, the video content into a plurality of video frames. In addition, the process splices, with the processor, at least one of the plurality of video frames into a plurality of image patches. Moreover, the process performs, with a neural network, an image reconstruction of at least one of the plurality of image patches to generate a reconstructed image patch. The process also compares, with the processor, the reconstructed image patch with the at least one of the plurality of image patches. Finally, the process determines, with the processor, a pixel error within the at least one of the plurality of image patches based on a discrepancy between the reconstructed image patch and the at least one of the plurality of image patches.

  • Patent number: 10638668
    Abstract: Implementations include providing a baseline multi-dimensional model of a cultivar, determining an encoding based on the baseline multi-dimensional model, and a target multi-dimensional model, the encoding defining a string of symbols, and being based on an alphabet and a set of rules, providing an expected multi-dimensional model based on the encoding, and a modified set of rules, the modified set of rules being based on the set of rules, the expected multi-dimensional model representing the cultivar after a period of time, selecting a set of actions by determining multiple predicted multi-dimensional models for each set of actions in a plurality of sets of actions, and, for each predicted multi-dimensional model, providing a predicted yield that can be used to determine impact with respect an expected yield, the set of actions being selected based on a respective impact, and providing the set of actions as output for executing on the cultivar.

  • Publication number: 20200110746
    Abstract: Knowledge graph systems are disclosed for enhancing a knowledge graph by generating a new node. The knowledge graph system converts a knowledge graph into an embedding space, and selects a region of interest from within the embedding space. The knowledge graph system further identifies, from the region of interest, one or more gap regions, and calculates a center for each gap region. A node is generated for each gap region, and the information represented by the node is added to the original knowledge graph to generate an updated knowledge graph.

  • Publication number: 20190188295
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a development and application of a deep-learning neural network (DNN) model for identifying relevance of an information item returned by a search engine in response to a search query by a user, with respect to the search query and a profile for the user. The DNN model includes a set of neural networks arranged to learn correlations between queries, search results, and user profiles using dense numerical word or character embeddings and based on training targets derived from a historical search log containing queries, search results, and user-click data. The DNN model help identifying search results that are relevant to users according to their profiles.

  • Patent number: 10262079
    Abstract: A device may receive individual information associated with individual activities of an individual, and may aggregate the individual information, based on a time period, to generate aggregated individual information. The device may identify patterns in the aggregated individual information, and may determine states for the patterns based on state information associated with activities capable of being performed by individuals. The device may generate a sequential knowledge graph based on modifying a knowledge graph with the states and adding a sequence of activities to the knowledge graph, and may determine embeddings for the individual activities based on the sequential knowledge graph.
