Patent number: 11593814Abstract: Techniques are provided detecting diluted drugs using machine learning. Measurements and images corresponding to a product are obtained, wherein the product is formulated as a liquid, and wherein the measurements and images capture physical, spectral, optical, and/or chemical properties of the product. The measurements and images are provided to a machine learning model, wherein the machine learning model is trained using data generated from interactive learning modules (e.g., a generative adversarial network).

Patent number: 11263736Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for mapping one or more inclusions in a mineral crystal. A set of image data associated with the mineral crystal is receiving. The received set of image data is analyzed. One or more inclusions associated with the mineral crystal is identified based on the analyzed image data. The identified one or more inclusions of the mineral crystal are mapped to a tree structure representing the surface of the mineral crystal. The mapped one or more inclusions are encoded as a chain-code associated with the mineral crystal. A radial distance between a center of mass value of the mineral crystal and a center of mass value of the identified one or more inclusions is calculated and a mineral crystal fingerprint is generated.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2019Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Venkat K.
