Patent number: 11935634Abstract: A system for predicting and summarizing medical events from electronic health records includes a computer memory storing aggregated electronic health records from a multitude of patients of diverse age, health conditions, and demographics including medications, laboratory values, diagnoses, vital signs, and medical notes. The aggregated electronic health records are converted into a single standardized data structure format and ordered arrangement per patient, e.g., into a chronological order. A computer (or computer system) executes one or more deep learning models trained on the aggregated health records to predict one or more future clinical events and summarize pertinent past medical events related to the predicted events on an input electronic health record of a patient having the standardized data structure format and ordered into a chronological order.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2017Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Alexander Mossin, Alvin Rajkomar, Eyal Oren, James Wilson, James Wexler, Patrik Sundberg, Andrew Dai, Yingwei Cui, Gregory Corrado, Hector Yee, Jacob Marcus, Jeffrey Dean, Benjamin Irvine, Kai Chen, Kun Zhang, Michaela Hardt, Xiaomi Sun, Nissan Hajaj, Peter Junteng Liu, Quoc Le, Xiaobing Liu, Yi Zhang

Patent number: 11928574Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an automated neural architecture search approach for designing new neural network architectures such as, for example, resource-constrained mobile CNN models. In particular, the present disclosure provides systems and methods to perform neural architecture search using a novel factorized hierarchical search space that permits layer diversity throughout the network, thereby striking the right balance between flexibility and search space size. The resulting neural architectures are able to be run relatively faster and using relatively fewer computing resources (e.g., less processing power, less memory usage, less power consumption, etc.), all while remaining competitive with or even exceeding the performance (e.g., accuracy) of current state-of-the-art mobile-optimized models.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2023Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Mingxing Tan, Quoc Le, Bo Chen, Vijay Vasudevan, Ruoming Pang

Publication number: 20230274532Abstract: Example aspects of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for learning data augmentation strategies for improved object detection model performance. In particular, example aspects of the present disclosure are directed to iterative reinforcement learning approaches in which, at each of a plurality of iterations, a controller model selects a series of one or more augmentation operations to be applied to training images to generate augmented images. For example, the controller model can select the augmentation operations from a defined search space of available operations which can, for example, include operations that augment the training image without modification of the locations of a target object and corresponding bounding shape within the image and/or operations that do modify the locations of the target object and bounding shape within the training image.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2023Publication date: August 31, 2023Inventors: Jon Shlens, Ekin Dogus Cubuk, Quoc Le, Tsung-Yi Lin, Barret Zoph, Golnaz Ghiasi

Publication number: 20230074406Abstract: As part of a dialog session between a user and an automated assistant, implementations can receive a stream of audio data that captures a spoken utterance including an assistant query, determine, based on processing the stream of audio data, a set of assistant outputs that are each predicted to be responsive to the assistant query, process, using large language model (LLM) output(s), the assistant outputs and context of the dialog session to generate a set of modified assistant outputs, and cause given modified assistant output, from among the set of modified assistant outputs, to be provided for presentation to the user in response to the spoken utterance. In some implementations, the LLM output(s) can be generated in an offline manner for subsequent use in an online manner. In additional or alternative implementations, the LLM output(s) can be generated in an online manner when the spoken utterance is received.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2021Publication date: March 9, 2023Inventors: Martin Baeuml, Thushan Amarasiriwardena, Roberto Pieraccini, Vikram Sridar, Daniel De Freitas Adiwardana, Noam M.
