Publication number: 20240099589Abstract: An automated measurement device and method for coronary artery disease scoring is disclosed. An example device includes a processor configured to obtain a computerized model of a plurality of vascular segments of a patient and create an unstenosed computerized model from the computerized model by virtually enlarging at least some locations of the vascular segments of the computerized model. The processor also determines vascular state scoring tool (“VSST”) scores based on characteristics of vascular locations along the vascular segments. The processor further determines a severity of stenosis for the vascular locations based on comparisons of first blood flow parameter values at the vascular locations in the computerized model to corresponding second blood flow parameter values at the same vascular locations in the unstenosed computerized model. A user interface of the device displays the severity of stenosis in conjunction with the VSST scores for the vascular locations.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Guy Lavi, Uri Merhav

Patent number: 11610109Abstract: In an example embodiment, a system is provided whereby a machine learning model is trained to predict a standardization for a given raw title. A neural network may be trained whose input is a raw title (such as a query string) and a list of candidate titles (either title identifications in a taxonomy, or English strings), which produces a probability that the raw title and each candidate belong to the same title. The model is able to standardize titles in any language included in the training data without first having to perform language identification or normalization of the title. Additionally, the model is able to benefit from the existence of “loan words” (words adopted from a foreign language with little or no modification) and relations between languages.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2018Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Sebastian Alexander Csar, Uri Merhav, Dan Shacham

Patent number: 11188823Abstract: In an example embodiment, a first DCNN is trained to output a value for a first metric by inputting a plurality of sample documents to the first DCNN, with each of the sample documents having been labeled with a value for the first metric. Then a plurality of possible transformations of a first input document are fed to the first DCNN, obtaining a value for the first metric for each of the plurality of possible transformations. A first transformation is selected from the plurality of possible transformations based on the values for the first metric for each of the plurality of possible transformations. Then a second DCNN is trained to output a transformation for a document by inputting the selected first transformation to the second DCNN. The second input document is fed to the second DCNN, obtaining a second transformation of the second input document.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2016Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Uri Merhav, Dan Shacham

Patent number: 10726355Abstract: In an example embodiment, a solution that automatically predicts an industry for a candidate company is provided. An existing industry classifier is trained using a first machine learning algorithm, the first machine learning algorithm taking as input first training data and existing industries listed in an industry taxonomy. A new industry classifier is trained using a second machine learning algorithm, the second machine learning algorithm taking as input second training data and new industries listed in an industry taxonomy. Then the candidate company is fed into the existing industry classifier, producing one or more predicted existing industries corresponding to the candidate company. The candidate company is also fed into the new industry classifier, producing one or more predicted new industries corresponding to the candidate company. One or more final predicted industries are selected from among the one or more predicted existing industries and the one or more predicted new industries.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2016Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Dan Shacham, Uri Merhav, Zhanpeng Fang
