  • Publication number: 20250140075
    Abstract: Multi-faceted machine learning model systems and methods are disclosed that integrate historical data, user-specific criteria, and prioritized real-time event updates. The machine learning model systems and methods may be selected and weighed to optimize simulation accuracy based on event type, player status, and user-defined constraints, such as risk tolerance and preference for specific teams, sports or players. The machine learning model is applied to a first historical outcome and a second historical outcome to generate a predictive outcome responsive to a user query, the user query having a first keyword vector and a second keyword vector. The machine learning model is applied to a real-time event and the predictive outcome to generate an updated predictive outcome. A prediction error indicative of a difference between the predictive outcome and the updated predictive outcome can be determined.

  • Publication number: 20250137079
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to processing iron-containing feedstocks using oxalic acid to cost-effectively and cleanly transform low-cost iron feedstocks into iron-containing products (e.g., metallic iron and/or iron oxide) of high purity. In general, the methods of production using the systems described herein may include leaching low-purity iron feedstocks using a lixiviant including oxalic acid and an iron-complexing additive. The iron-complexing additive may suppress formation of iron (II) oxalate crystals and iron (III) oxalate crystals as leaching of a low-purity iron feedstock is carried out using oxalic acid, thus improving process kinetics and increasing the amount of iron that goes into solution during the leaching operation and ultimately recovered as a high-purity iron-containing product (e.g., metallic iron and/or iron oxide).
