Abstract: Utilizing a MinHash approach during a graph loading process, vertices with similar string property values can be indirectly connected through common intermediary vertices whose identifications (IDs) are the MinHash signature values. A method for fuzzy match on a graph comprises constructing a graph using a hashing technique, determining a similarity of hash signatures of at least two properties on the graph, and using the similarity in an application. The hashing technique may be MinHash, for example. Determining the similarity may comprise using Jaccard similarity or Levenshtein distance, for example. The application may be entity resolution or text search, for example.

Abstract: There is provided a smart aquaculture grow out system for aquatic species, the system includes a feeder adapted to store aquafeed, the feeder comprising a feed dispensing nozzle, a feed dispenser operable to measure and project aquafeed via the feed dispensing nozzle, and a controller operatively being operable to selectively activate and deactivate the feed dispenser. A set of sensors are operable to acquire sensor data comprising water quality parameters of a pond adjacent to the feeder and images of aquatic species in the pond. A processor receives the sensor data of the grow out system, and determines, based on the sensor data of the grow out system, a metered quantity of aquafeed to provide. The processor transmits a control signal to the controller causing activation of the feed dispenser to measure and project the metered quantity of aquafeed via the feed dispensing nozzle.

Abstract: Systems and methods for classifying a test object are provided. For each respective target object in a plurality of target objects, a first procedure is performed comprising (a) posing the test object against the respective target thereby obtaining an interaction between the test and target, and (b) scoring the interaction with a first classifier. Each such score across the plurality of targets forms a test vector that is inputted into a second classifier thereby obtaining an indication of a target object. The second classifier is trained on training vectors, each being the output from instances of the first classifier after inputting a corresponding training object in a plurality of training objects in accordance with the first procedure. Each object in one subset of the training objects is uniquely associated with one of the targets. Another subset of the training objects is not associated with the targets.
