    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and system for multicarrier signal tracking based on deep learning and high precision positioning. Using the data characteristics of S-curve, and using S-curve which contains multipath signals as feature data for training deep learning networks under different signal-to-noise ratios. The delay regression results of receiving signal can be directly obtained by the S-curve of real-time receiving signal and the pre-trained network. The motivation of this method is to fully utilize the advantages of deep learning networks in accurately regressing complex problems with a large amount of data, fundamentally solving the impact of multipath signals on the delay estimation of the main path signal in traditional software defined receivers, extracting the corresponding relationship between the delay of main path and S-curve under the influence of different signal-to-noise ratios and different multipath signals.

  • Patent number: 12001798
    Abstract: A system performs named entity recognition for performing natural language processing, for example, for conversation engines. The system uses context information in named entity recognition. The system includes the context of a sentence during model training and execution. The system generates high quality contextual data for training NER models. The system utilizes labeled and unlabeled contextual data for training NER models. The system provides NER models for execution in production environments. The system uses heuristics to determine whether to use a context-based NER model or a simple NER model that does not use context information. This allows the system to use simple NER models when the likelihood of improving the accuracy of prediction based on context is low.
