Publication number: 20250209593Abstract: Systems, devices, methods, and computer readable medium for evaluating visual quality of digital content are disclosed. Methods can include training machine learning models on images. A request is received to evaluate quality of an image included in a current version of a digital component generated by the computing device. The machine learning models are deployed on the image to generate a score for each quality characteristic of the image. A weight is assigned to each score to generate weighted scores. The weighted scores are combined to generate a combined score for the image. The combined score is compared to one or more thresholds to generate a quality of the image.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2025Publication date: June 26, 2025Inventors: Catherine Shyu, Xiyang Luo, Feng Yang, Junjie Ke, Yicong Tian, Chao-Hung Chen, Xia Li, Luying Li, Wenjing Kang, Shun-Chuan Chen

Publication number: 20250010302Abstract: Systems and methods for high throughput microdroplet-based single cell assays in microdroplets are provided. The system and methods use parallel devices and switches to enable simultaneous analysis of different cells or cell combinations, or different assay conditions, on a single microfluidic chip. Interconnections between the inlets of individual devices on a common chip enable simultaneous screening of the effect of different combinations of drugs on single cells. The use of an oil inlet and microchannels with matched total flow resistance allows the synchronous generation of droplets with the same dimensions and/or volumes.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2024Publication date: January 9, 2025Inventors: Wenjing KANG, Tania Konry, Saheli Sarkar

Publication number: 20240346546Abstract: Systems, devices, methods, and computer readable medium for evaluating visual quality of digital content are disclosed. Methods can include identifying content assets including one or more images that are combined to create different digital components distributed to one or more client devices. A quality of each of the one or more images is evaluated using one or more machine learning models trained to evaluate one or more visual aspects that are deemed indicative of visual quality. An aggregate quality for the content assets is determined based, at least in part, on an output of the one or more machine learning models indicating the visual quality of each of the one or more images. A graphical user interface of a first computing device is updated to present a visual indication of the aggregate quality of the content assets.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2024Publication date: October 17, 2024Inventors: Catherine Shyu, Luying Li, Feng Yang, Junjie Ke, Xiyang Luo, Hao Feng, Chao-Hung Chen, Wenjing Kang, Zheng Xia, Shun-Chuan Chen, Yicong Tian, Xia Li, Han Ke

Publication number: 20240303485Abstract: The disclosure provides an apparatus, method, device, and medium for loss balancing in MTL. The apparatus includes interface circuitry and processor circuitry. The processor circuitry is configured to initialize parameters of shared layers of a deep neural network for MTL using a pre-trained neural network; determine a custom interval consisting of a designated number of mini-batch training steps and a designated window of N custom intervals (N>2); for each task, calculate a loss change rate between each pair of N?1 pairs of neighboring custom intervals within a designated window prior to a present custom interval and a gradient magnitude with respect to selected shared weights within the designated window prior to the present custom interval, and adjust, a weight of the task, based on the calculated loss change rate and gradient magnitude with respect to selected shared weights.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2021Publication date: September 12, 2024Inventors: Wenjing KANG, Xiaochuan LUO, Xianchao XU
