Abstract: Embodiments relate to computer systems and methods for computer models and scenario generation. The system involves generating integrated climate risk data using a Climate Risk Classification Standard hierarchy that maps climate data and multiple risk factors to geographic space and time. A computer model involves risk factors modeled as graphs of nodes, each node corresponding to a risk factor and connected by edges or links. The nodes of the graph create scenario paths for the model. A hardware processor populates the graphs of nodes using a machine learning, natural language processing and expert judgement systems. The system automatically generates multifactor scenario sets using the scenario paths for the climate model to compute the likelihood of different scenario paths for the computer model.

Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for modifying network applications. For instance, remote system(s) may store an application on a first virtual storage device and store a modification for the application on a second virtual storage device. The remote system(s) may then install the application on a virtual server using the first virtual storage device. Additionally, the remote system(s) may receive a request to access the application along with an indication to enable the modification for the application. Based on the request, the remote system(s) may modify the application on the virtual server using the second virtual storage device. The remote system(s) may then launch the application, as modified, on the virtual server. Once the application is launched, the system(s) may provide the application to a user device using the virtual server.

Abstract: A surgeon training apparatus includes a cassette, which includes biological tissue repurposed into a form consistent with the anatomical configuration of abdominal hernias, affixed into an anatomically correct silicon framework which replicates the abdominal anatomy. The framework positions the cassette in an anatomically correct position within the abdominal cavity, enabling surgeons to train using a properly positioned representation of the target anatomy, thus requiring the surgeon to properly use surgical tools to correct the pathologic condition caused by the hernia. The cassette is formed by applying biologic tissue to a specially designed “plate,” which affixes the tissue block into the anatomic framework, and is adapted for connection to a grounding device so the surgeon can use cautery during the simulated hernia repair.

Abstract: In some applications, it may be desired to process a message to determine an intent of the message, where the intent indicates the meaning of the message. An intent classifier may be used to determine the meaning of a message by processing the message to compute a message embedding vector that represents the message in a vector space. Each possible intent may be represented by a prototype vector, and the intent of the message may be determined by comparing the message embedding to one or more prototype vectors, such as by selecting an intent whose prototype vector is closest to the message embedding. An intent classifier may be used, for example, (i) to implement an automated communications system with states where each state is associated with a subset of the possible intents or (ii) for processing usage data of a communications system to update the intents of the communications system.
