  • Patent number: 12645945
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium embodiments for a multi-tiered hierarchical language model judging system for efficient and accurate model evaluation. A system receives a first text string specifying a question from a first user interface and a second text string specifying an answer generated by a language model. The system receives, from a first model, a first token probability for the second set of one or more tokens and generates a first confidence score. Based on the first confidence score satisfying a threshold, the system outputs the second text string and the first confidence score to the user interface. If the first confidence score fails to satisfy the threshold, the system outputs the second text string and one of a second confidence score generated based on a second token probability from a second model or a third confidence score generated by a reasoning model.

  • Patent number: 12468890
    Abstract: A method of executing a matching language model to perform a many-to-one matching task. The matching task uses a number of tokens that exceeds a token limit of the matching language model. The number of tokens is reduced to a reduced number of tokens by executing a rule-based application on a target entry and a dataset of entries to output a data subset including fewer entries. The reduced number of tokens are reduced within the token limit by executing a sorting language model on the data subset and the target entry to output candidate matching sets. The candidate matching sets are evaluated as to whether a potential match exists with the target entry. The matching language model is executed on the number of candidate matching sets and the target entry to output a selected matching set matching the target entry. The selected matching set is returned.

  • Patent number: 8792089
    Abstract: A device for determining the concentration of a constituent of blood in a hose line, in particular in the hose line of an extracorporeal blood circuit of an extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus, includes a clamping unit having an actuation mechanism configured to apply a clamping force such that first and second receiving elements are moved towards one another from a first position releasing the hose line into a second position clamping the hose line, in which the drive of the actuation mechanism takes place with an electric motor, and a monitoring unit configured to detect a hose line inserted into the receiving elements. A method for detecting a hose line in a clamping unit of a device for determining the concentration of a blood constituent in the hose line is also described. Automation of the measurement of the blood parameters is thus possible.

  • Publication number: 20030033192
    Abstract: Planning tools guide marketing professionals through steps of performing a situation assessment, identifying opportunities, developing growth strategies, developing growth tactics, and developing measurements. The planning tools provide disciplined processes in a question and answer format. The tools are personalized to the answers given by marketing professionals and new tools or modified tools can be easily implemented. These tools can be provided in a stand-alone manner, as part of a network, and as part of a collaborative environment. The planning tools preferably form part of an entire marketing investment manager which includes a marketing management solution, digital asset management, and hooks to existing systems, such as customer relationship management, finance, manufacturing, and information technology. The marketing management solution adopts best practices and includes collaboration, project management, campaign management, and analytics, and measurement units.
