  • Patent number: 11366624
    Abstract: An example system includes a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored therein instructions that are executable to cause the system to perform various functions. The functions include obtaining an image associated with a print job, and providing the image as input to a convolutional neural network. The convolutional neural network includes a residual network, upscaling layers, and classification layers configured to detect whether the image is an artificial image having a computer-generated image gradient. The functions also include determining, based on an output of the classification layers, that the image is an artificial image having a computer-generated image gradient. Further, the functions include, based on determining that the image is an artificial image having a computer-generated image gradient, providing the image to an upscaling module of a print pipeline for upscaling rather than using an output of the upscaling layers for the upscaling.

  • Patent number: 11308545
    Abstract: Examples of automated order troubleshooting are described. In an example embodiment, sales-specific data sources associated with at least one of a process, an organization, and an industry relevant for sales operations are monitored. From the monitored sales-specific data, an operation behavioral pattern is identified, based on predefined rules. Subsequently, a behavior model capturing the operation behavioral pattern is constructed using a pre-existing behavior model library. Using the behavior model, a potential event relating to an order received to be fulfilled using the sales operation is predicted, the potential event being indicative of an issue affecting the order. Accordingly, the issue affecting the order is proactively remediated to automatically troubleshoot the order.
