  • Patent number: 12346659
    Abstract: Information extraction and image restructuring includes generating semantic vectors to encode portions of text extracted from a document. For each semantic vector a semantic similarity between a schema key and other text encoded therein is determined based on their respective positions within the document. An enhanced NLP model is created using the semantic vectors, each labeled according to the semantic similarity. The text, including schema key, are re-encoded as a key and candidate vectors. Key-value pairs are generated by matching the key vector with a predetermined number of candidate vectors. The enhanced NLP model, using prompt learning, is repurposed to perform a next-sentence prediction that predicts which of the candidate vectors is logically related to the schema key. Based on the next-sentence prediction, the discrete portion of text identified as the schema key and portion of text determined to be logically related thereto are output.

  • Patent number: 12242477
    Abstract: In order to perform a semantic search based on a graph database, sets of nodes are selected from a plurality of nodes in a graph database. A set of nodes semantically matches a keyword in a natural language query. At least one target node is identified in the sets of nodes. A path is selected from candidate paths based on similarities between the candidate paths and a plurality of paths in the graph database. A graph query for retrieving information from the graph database is generated based on the selected path and the query target.

  • Publication number: 20250053543
    Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for using drag-and-drop to open local files remotely. In one approach, a client device renders a user interface including a first indicium corresponding to a local file of the client device and a second indicium corresponding to a remotely executed application. A drag-and-drop action of the first indicium relative to the second indicium is detected. Responsive to the drag-and-drop action, the remotely executed application opens a copy of the local file.

  • Publication number: 20240364742
    Abstract: A service includes a trained model comprising a classifier that predicts whether domain names are dictionary DGA generated. Using passive DNS data and/or a heuristic analysis based on natural language processing of the domain name, the service filters domain names that are not candidate (i.e., potential) dictionary DGA domain names out of the detection pipeline. There domain names are thus classified without being fed into the model for more computationally expensive processing. Domain names that are not filtered out are queued for input into an instance of the model and classification by the model, with the queued domain names processed in small batches and load balanced across model instances. Predicted domain name classes output by the model are cached for subsequent cache reads to avoid multiple runs of the model for one domain name.

  • Publication number: 20240339125
    Abstract: A method of forming a thin film structure involves performing one or more repetitions to form a template on a wafer. The repetitions include: depositing a layer of a template material to a thickness; and ion beam milling the layer of the template material to remove thickness less than the first thickness. The ion beam milling may be performed at a two different angles during two different repetitions. At least one of the angles is a channeling angle defined relative to a crystalline microstructure of the template material. After the repetitions, additional material may be deposited on the template to form a final structure. The additional material has a same crystalline microstructure as the template material.

  • Publication number: 20240265719
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for implementing enhanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) of text overlapping scenes through text graph structuring. Text graph structuring is performed to provide a graph data structure for each data character or letter of multiple letters and a library of graph templates from graph structured data of each of the multiple letters. Text graph structuring is performed to convert visual content of an identified overlapping text image region to an overlapping text topology graph. The overlapping text topology graph is split into multiple subgraphs using the graph template library to match recognizable letters in the overlapping text.

    Abstract: A method of forming a thin film structure involves performing one or more repetitions to form a template on a wafer. The repetitions include: depositing a layer of a template material to a first thickness T1; and ion beam milling the layer of the template material to remove thickness T2, where T2<T1, resulting in a layer of the template material with thickness T1?T2. The ion beam milling is performed at a channeling angle relative to a deposition plane of the wafer, the channeling angle defined relative to a channeling direction of a crystalline microstructure of the template material. After the repetitions, additional material is deposited on the template to form a final structure. The additional material has a same crystalline microstructure as the template material.
