  • Publication number: 20230004845
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing explainability for processing data through multiple layers are provided. An input layer is configured to receive an evidence data set comprising a plurality of evidence items, apply evidence processing models to the evidence data set to generate evidence understanding data, and generate input-layer explainability data, wherein the input-layer explainability data represents information about the processing of the evidence data set by the input layer. A presentation layer is configured to receive data (the evidence understanding data and/or data generated based on the evidence understanding data), apply one or more presentation generation models to the received data to generate presentation data, and generate presentation-layer explainability data for presentation to the user, wherein the presentation-layer explainability data represents information about the processing of the received data set by the presentation layer.

  • Publication number: 20130153597
    Abstract: A container for storing wipes is disclosed. The container for storing wipes includes a container base including a front wall, a back wall, a top wall, and a bottom wall defining an interior cavity for storage of a stack of wipes. The container includes a dispensing panel having a dispensing partition formed therethrough. Within the interior cavity of the container, a support portion is positioned for support of the bottom of the stack of wipes. The support portion forms a support portion angle between about 100 and about 115 degrees with the bottom wall. A container designed as described places the wipes stack in a vertical position thus reducing the footprint should the dispenser be placed on a toilet tank or countertop. Furthermore, the wipes being placed in a vertical position allows for more versatile and durable wall-mounting options while providing adequate dispensing performance.
