  • SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR EVALUATING MACHINE LEARNING MODEL PERFORMANCE
    Publication number: 20240273386
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for evaluating a multi-label classification machine learning model. A model labelled dataset is received from the model and includes a plurality of data elements each labelled with zero or more model predicted labels of q potential classes. A multi-label confusion matrix is defined to include q+1 rows with q rows for true labels and 1 row for no true label and q+1 columns with q columns for predicted labels and 1 column for no predicted label. The matrix is populated by comparing the model labelled dataset with a true labelled dataset. At least one performance metric is calculated from the populated multi-label confusion matrix.

  • Systems for enabling access to a shipping benefit from seller content
    Patent number: 12062082
    Abstract: A seller provides customers with the ability to order items using shipping benefits associated with a separate fulfillment entity, such as an online store, by providing inventory to a designated fulfilment location. When a customer accesses the webpage, identifiers for the customer device and item are used to determine an estimated delivery time the separate fulfillment entity may provide, which may be presented in a widget or other type of element within the webpage. In response to input to the element, the customer may be presented with a prompt for authentication data, and after a successful authentication, the estimated delivery time may be updated based on a location of the authenticated customer. In response to input confirming the transaction, an order for the item is generated by the separate fulfillment entity and the customer may continue navigating the seller website.

  • Method and apparatus for coordinated multi-access point channel access in a wireless network
    Patent number: 12004191
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and apparatus for coordinated multi-AP channel access in a wireless network. A wireless AP that obtains a transmission opportunity (TXOP) (a “coordinator AP”) can grant one or more STAs or APs under control of the coordinator AP the use of some of the bandwidth granted by the TXOP. The STAs or APs that are granted the use of the bandwidth are referred to as “coordinated APs.” Thereafter, a coordinator AP or a coordinated AP can create a new basic service set (BSS) of devices for coordinating data transmissions. For example, the coordinated AP may serve as a relay, where the coordinated AP services devices in a new BSS by sending and receiving data with a coordinator AP in a different BSS.

  • Safeguarding equipment based on detection of reduced cyclical pump performance
    Patent number: 12000743
    Abstract: A technique of safeguarding equipment involves deriving a pressure pulse amplitude based on operation of a pump of the equipment, and performing a comparison operation that compares the pressure pulse amplitude value to a predefined threshold. The technique further involves performing, in response to a result of the comparison operation indicating that the pressure pulse amplitude value has fallen below the predefined threshold, a remedial activity to prevent damage to the equipment or to prevent endangerment to persons affected by the failure of the equipment. For example, in the case of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the remedial action may be to transit the UAV from a densely populated area to a rural area where landing may be possible without injuring persons or damaging the UAV.
