  • Publication number: 20240037292
    Abstract: System and method enable development of an industrial metaverse used in engineering by computer aided design. A metaverse pipeline includes a plurality of metaverse entities including at least one design application and one simulation application configured to develop a virtual environment metaverse representation of an industrial facility. A metaverse knowledge graph describes semantics and relationships between the metaverse pipeline entities and is configured to exchange information across the software applications of the metaverse pipeline entities of various platforms while developing the virtual environment metaverse. The metaverse knowledge graph enables synchronization across metaverse development platforms, such that updates to one platform are transferrable, whereby the virtual entities and environment can be assimilated according to new edits.

  • Publication number: 20220292266
    Abstract: System and method for performing natural language processing are disclosed. An encoder includes a multi-head attention block for nonlinear transformation of inputs and a feed-forward network for learning parameters that result in best function approximation. Output of the multi-head attention block and the feed-forward network are coupled in parallel to produce a summed output. An ODE solver performs continuous depth integration of the summed output for reduced number of parameters.

  • Publication number: 20140222783
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically determining an improved view for a visual query in a mobile location or object search are provided. In some embodiments, methods for automatically determining an improved view for a visual query in a mobile location or object search system include obtaining at least one data set based on a prior visual query, wherein the at least one data set includes at least a top location or object and one or more other locations or objects; retrieving at least one distinctiveness measurement for one or more locations or objects in the at least one data set; and determining the improved view based on the retrieved at least one distinctiveness measurement.
