Abstract: This disclosure provides a mechanism for the enrichment of sparse datasets using language models. By training language models on the specific distribution of known values in a dataset, missing values can be predicted, and the predicted values added, thereby resulting in a more complete dataset. This method also facilitates the enhancement and augmentation of datasets by predicting values for new properties that were not previously available. The approach proves particularly effective at scale, transforming large sparse datasets into more complete and enhanced datasets. Masking language modeling may be employed to train language models capable of generating representations of technical data. Training data includes corpuses of technical data that may be represented as text strings. These pretrained models are fine-tuned to predict various properties. The resulting models can predict missing values in large technical datasets, providing valuable data for guiding scientific research.

Users optionally attach a picture or video and category. Each voice post is visualized as a text on the top of the picture as an overlay. Text is highlighted with a synced part-of the speech. Users can explore posts using search interfaces using keywords and categories. Users can also comment using voice posts. This system also provides advanced interfaces such as recommendation interface where users can see related posts, connection interface where users can connect each other, message interface where users can communicate with each other via voice messages.

Abstract: A molecule representation is extracted from a document and associated with the document in a metadata database. For example, an image of a molecular structure may be extracted from a document and stored in the metadata database in a text-based representation such as SMILES. The metadata database may be searched to identify documents that mention a particular molecule. Continuing the example, the metadata database may be searched with a SMILES representation to identify the document and other documents that refer to the same molecule. The metadata database may index documents based on different types of molecule representations, including text-based, image-based, graph-based, name, abbreviation, etc. This allows search over multiple representations of a molecule, improving accuracy and thoroughness. These improvements reduce the time and computational resources needed to search for documents that refer to a particular molecule.

Abstract: Machine learning models are used to invoke a sequence of tools in response to a user request. A list of available tools is culled before a machine learning model selects from the remaining tools to generate a plan. The plan, which describes tool invocations in natural language, is then converted to code that can programmatically invoke the tools. In some configurations, the list of available tools is first culled by removing tools that do not appear in similarly described plans. The list may further be culled by removing tools that do not appear in plans generated by machine learning models. Then, a machine learning model is prompted to generate a final plan from the culled list and the user request. In some configurations, the final plan is converted to code by prompting a machine learning model to extrapolate from the code of similar plans.
