  • Publication number: 20250131332
    Abstract: Systems and methods for Bayesian PROCOVA operations are illustrated. One embodiment includes a method for updating predictive models. The method trains a set of one or more generative models based on RCT data. The method defines a mixture prior distribution that includes: an informative component that follows an informative prior distribution defined, at least in part, on the RCT data; and a flat component that follows a flat prior distribution defined independently of the RCT data. The method generates, using the set of one or more generative models, predicted panel data for a plurality of digital subjects. The method derives a mixture posterior distribution corresponding to the unknown parameters of the set of one or more generative models, based on the predicted panel data. The method determines, based on at least one of the predicted panel data or the mixture posterior distribution, a set of one or more decision rules.

  • Publication number: 20240270408
    Abstract: A landing pad receives and stores packages delivered from an aerial vehicle and awaiting pickup from an aerial vehicle. The landing pad can be placed outside of a window and can contain a transmitter for sending out an identification signal via radio frequency to aid aerial vehicles in finding the landing pad. The landing pad contains a landing platform with a trapdoor that leads to a storage compartment. The trapdoor can be configured to only open when it receives a signal from an authorized aerial vehicle. The storage compartment can be accessed via a storage compartment door which can contain a locking mechanism. The storage compartment can be climate controlled. The landing pad can also have a transmitter that emits sounds to discourage animals from nesting on or near the landing pad. The landing pad can also include a solar power generator as a source of electrical energy.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for modeling complex probability distributions are described. One embodiment includes a method for training a restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM), wherein the method includes generating, from a first set of visible values, a set of hidden values in a hidden layer of a RBM and generating a second set of visible values in a visible layer of the RBM based on the generated set of hidden values. The method includes computing a set of likelihood gradients based on the first set of visible values and the generated set of visible values, computing a set of adversarial gradients using an adversarial model based on at least one of the set of hidden values and the set of visible values, computing a set of compound gradients based on the set of likelihood gradients and the set of adversarial gradients, and updating the RBM based on the set of compound gradients.
