  • Publication number: 20250053865
    Abstract: The technology is generally directed to the training and execution of a model to identify policy violating content that has been obfuscated. The model may be trained using obfuscated training images. The obfuscated training images may be associated with one or more labels, such as a policy, obfuscation label, etc. The obfuscated training images and associated labels may be input into the model. During training, the output of the model may be a policy prediction as to whether the obfuscated input images violate the content policy of a host or are approved content for publishing. During implementation, the model may receive content as input and provide as output a policy prediction for the content. The host may use the policy prediction provided by the model to determine whether or not to publish the content.

  • Publication number: 20240428573
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving an input from a user relating to a concept, automatically obtaining a first set of images from an unlabeled dataset of images based on the input, and obtaining a first rating via the user for each image from the first set of images. The method further includes training a classifier model relating to the concept based on the first set of images rated by the user, automatically obtaining a second set of images from the unlabeled dataset of images based on the classifier model trained based on the first set of images, and obtaining a second rating via the user for each image from the second set of images. The classifier model relating to the concept is retrained based on the first set of images rated by the user and the second set of images rated by the user to obtain an updated classifier model.

    Abstract: A method for classifying eco-geological environment types based on coal resource exploitation solves the problem in the prior art of a lack of combined consideration of different geological and ecological environments on the surface in a to-be-mined area before coal mining. Based on surveys of ecological, hydrological, and geological information of the area, and by means of a Fuzzy Delphi Analytic Hierarchy Process (FDAHP) and weighted fuzzy C-means clustering, the present invention determines different eco-geological environment types. According to the existing ecological, hydrological, and geological information, the present invention can rapidly and effectively classify the different eco-geological environment types, and further determine eco-geological features and their sensitivity to coal resource exploitation.

  • Patent number: 10574154
    Abstract: A scalable universal space vector pulse-width modulation (SVPWM) scheme for multilevel inverters is disclosed. In the disclosed SVPWM scheme, the modulation triangle is quickly identified based on a coordinate transformation from an ?-? coordinate system to a 120° oblique coordinate system. Then, the duty cycles and switching states of the three vertices of the modulation triangle are determined by simple algebraic computations. In a switching period, any vertex of the modulation triangle can be flexibly selected as the start point to optimize the switching sequence with flexibly adjustable duty cycle(s) for the redundant switching state(s) according to specific applications.
