  • Publication number: 20170351401
    Abstract: A user provides a description of a neural network to a visualization tool. The visualization tool displays a user interface that includes a visual of the neural network based on the description. If the user interacts with a node or connection, for example by placing a cursor on the node/connection in the user interface, the user interface displays information associated with the node/connection. If the user selects a node of a layer, the neural network is applied to an input that corresponds to the selection and the user interface displays the propagation of the input through the neural network. Additionally, the user interface displays results from applying the neural network to the input.

  • Publication number: 20170351781
    Abstract: A record management system retrieves relevance information through an information retrieval model that models relevance between users, queries, and records based on user interaction data with records. Relevance information between different elements of the record management system are determined through a set of learned transformations in the information retrieval model. The record management system can quickly retrieve relevance information between different elements of the record management system given the set of learned transformations in the information retrieval model, without the need to construct separate systems for different types of relevance information. Moreover, even without access to contents of records, the record management system can determine relevant records for a given query based on user interaction data and the determined relationships between users, queries, and records learned through the information retrieval model.

  • Patent number: 6901363
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of denoising signal mixtures so as to extract a signal of interest, the method comprising receiving a pair of signal mixtures, constructing a time-frequency representation of each mixture, constructing a pair of histograms, one for signal-of-interest segments, the other for non-signal-of-interest segments, combining said histograms to create a weighting matrix, rescaling each time-frequency component of each mixture using said weighting matrix, and resynthesizing the denoised signal from the reweighted time-frequency representations.
