  • Publication number: 20260119744
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for improving efficiency and performance of a modeling system. An example method for automatically adjusting a machine learning model in response to a decline in performance of the machine learning model caused by a change in exogenous context includes determining a set of context-relevant variables from a silent variable set that are relevant to the change in exogenous context. The example method also includes training the machine learning model by activating a fewest number of context-relevant variables from the set of context-relevant variables that exhibit a mitigation of the decline in performance of the machine learning model. The example method also includes generating, after training the machine learning model, a first predictive output of the machine learning model that indicates an outcome projected to occur as a result of the change in exogenous context.

  • Publication number: 20260076760
    Abstract: A robotic surgical system integrates artificial intelligence (AI) to enable dynamic inference arbitration and risk-driven autonomy. The system includes a surgeon console, robotic arms, and a control system with memory and processors configured to execute real-time surgical workflows. AI modules analyze intraoperative data, such as imaging, sensor input, and instrument telemetry, and compute context alignment scores to guide module selection, forecasting, and fallback execution. Confidence metrics are monitored, with thresholds triggering surgeon alerts, handoff, or autonomous continuation. The system supports intraoperative adaptation, surgeon fatigue detection, and real-time annotation of AI outputs for traceability. It enables improved tissue recognition, predictive planning, and context-aware adjustments through training on historical surgical data. AI-assisted decision support, deviation handling, and performance monitoring enhance safety and personalization across diverse procedures.
