  • Patent number: 11977608
    Abstract: Traditional food quality monitoring systems fail to monitor the variation of food quality in real-time scenarios. Existing machine learning approaches require dedicated data models for different classes of food items due to differences in characteristics of different food items. Also, to generate such data models, a lot of annotated data is required per food item, which are expensive. The disclosure herein generally relates to monitoring and shelf-life prediction of food items, and, more particularly, to system and method for real-time monitoring and shelf-life prediction of food items. The system generates a data model using a knowledge graph indicative of a hierarchical taxonomy for a plurality of categories of the plurality of food items, which in turn contains metadata representing similarities in physio-chemical degradation pattern of different classes of the food items. This data model serves as a generic data model for real-time shelf-life prediction of different food items.

  • Patent number: 11699275
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to visio-linguistic understanding. Conventional methods use contextual visio-linguistic reasoner for visio-linguistic understanding which requires more compute power and large amount of pre-training data. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for visio-linguistic understanding using contextual language model reasoner. The method converts the visual information of an input image into a format that the contextual language model reasoner understands and accepts for a downstream task. The method utilizes the image captions and confidence score associated with the image captions along with a knowledge graph to obtain a combined input in a format compatible with the contextual language model reasoner. Contextual embeddings corresponding to the downstream task is obtained using the combined input. The disclosed method is used to solve several downstream tasks such as scene understanding, visual question answering, visual common-sense reasoning and so on.

  • Patent number: 10621474
    Abstract: The most challenging problems in karyotyping are segmentation and classification of overlapping chromosomes in metaphase spread images. Often chromosomes are bent in different directions with varying degrees of bend. Tediousness and time consuming nature of the effort for ground truth creation makes it difficult to scale the ground truth for training phase. The present disclosure provides an end-to-end solution that reduces the cognitive burden of segmenting and karyotyping chromosomes. Dependency on experts is reduced by employing crowdsourcing while simultaneously addressing the issues associated with crowdsourcing. Identified segments through crowdsourcing are pre-processed to improve classification achieved by employing deep convolutional network (CNN).

  • Patent number: 9116827
    Abstract: A system(s), method(s) and computer program product to optimize Luby Transform codes to facilitate a transmission of data over a communication network are disclosed. Demands from various sinks are received and a demand vector is calculated. Various sources are employed with LT codes to encode the data. A Generalized LT code (GLT) is generated for an objective function determined for a given demand vector irrespective of the LT codes employed at the sources. Morphing rules are designed by optimizing a degree distribution of the data and mapping LT codes to the generalized LT codes. The GLT is optimized by using a linear transformation to obtain optimal morphing rules. The LT codes are retargeted by re-encoding an LT encoded data to further obtain an LT re-encoded data. The LT re-encoded data is then transmitted by a relay device to plurality of sinks.
