  • Patent number: 11935634
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11928574
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11816577
    Abstract: Generally, the present disclosure is directed to systems and methods that generate augmented training data for machine-learned models via application of one or more augmentation techniques to audiographic images that visually represent audio signals. In particular, the present disclosure provides a number of novel augmentation operations which can be performed directly upon the audiographic image (e.g., as opposed to the raw audio data) to generate augmented training data that results in improved model performance. As an example, the audiographic images can be or include one or more spectrograms or filter bank sequences.

  • Publication number: 20230274532
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20230074406
    Abstract: 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.
