Abstract: Certain aspects of the disclosure pertain to inferring a candidate entity associated with a transaction with a machine learning model. An organization identifier and description associated with a transaction can be received as input. In response, an entity embedding, comprising a vector for each entity of an organization based on the organization identifier, can be retrieved from storage. A machine learning model can be invoked with the entity embedding and description. The machine learning model can be trained to infer a transaction embedding from the description and compute a similarity score between the transaction embedding and each vector of the entity embedding. A candidate entity with a similarity score satisfying a threshold can be identified and returned. The candidate entity with the highest similarity score can be identified in certain aspects.

Abstract: A system, a computerized apparatus and a method for drowning detection based on swimmer analytics. The method comprises obtaining a visual input cameras observing a water area and analyzing each swimmer in the water area based on the visual input. Said analyzing comprises determining a risk level of each swimmer, whereby a first risk level is determined for a first swimmer and a second risk level is determined for a second swimmer, wherein the first risk level is higher than the second risk level; and automatically detecting potential drowning events for each swimmer. Said automatically detecting is performed by utilizing computational resources in a non-uniform manner. Said automatically detecting comprises applying increased computational resources with respect to the first swimmer, and applying reduced computational resources with respect to the second swimmer.
