Publication number: 20220148425Abstract: A computer system can determine historical interval data of a freight operator from completed freight service requests associated with the freight operator. Additionally, while the freight operator is fulfilling a current freight service request, the computer system can determine at least a first likely downtime interval for a non-operating activity of the freight operator prior to the freight operator arriving at a pickup location or a destination location of the current freight service request, based on the historical interval data. Also, the computer system can determine an estimated arrival time for the freight operator to arrive at the pickup location or the destination location of the current freight service request, based at least in part on the first likely down time interval. Moreover, the computer system can update a record associated with the freight operator to reflect the estimated arrival time.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2021Publication date: May 12, 2022Applicant: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Luis Madrigal, Eyal Lasker, Xiao Guo, Padmini Pyapali, Tony Ran Zhang

Publication number: 20220130110Abstract: In various embodiments, a topology optimization application solves a topology optimization problem associated with designing a three-dimensional (ā3Dā) object. The topology optimization application coverts a first shape having a first resolution and representing the 3D object to a coarse shape having a second resolution that is lower than the first resolution. Subsequently, the topology optimization application computes coarse structural analysis data based on the coarse shape. The topology optimization application then uses a trained machine learning model to generate a second shape having the first resolution and representing the 3D object based on the first shape and the coarse structural analysis data. The trained machine learning model modifies a portion of a shape having the first resolution based on structural analysis data having the second resolution.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2020Publication date: April 28, 2022Inventors: Ran ZHANG, Morgan FABIAN, Ebot NDIP-AGBOR, Lee Morris TAYLOR

Publication number: 20210375273Abstract: An utterance in any of various languages is processed to derive a predicted label using a generated grammar. The grammar is suitable for deriving meaning of utterances from several languages (polyglot). The utterance is processed by an encoder using word embeddings. The encoder and a decoder process the utterance using the polyglot grammar to obtain a machine-readable result. The machine-readable result is well-formed based on accounting for re-entrances of intermediate variable references. A machine then takes action on the machine-readable result. Ambiguity is reduced by the decoder by the well-formed machine-readable result. Sparseness of the generated polyglot grammar is reduced by using a two-pass approach including placeholders which are ultimately replaced by edge labels.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2020Publication date: December 2, 2021Applicant: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Federico FANCELLU, Akos KADAR, Ran ZHANG, Afsaneh FAZLY
