  • Publication number: 20230281446
    Abstract: A health tracking system and method of operation is disclosed herein. The method of operating the health tracking system comprises: receiving a first data record comprising at least a first descriptive string regarding a consumable item, the first descriptive string having at least one word thereof incorrectly spelled; generating a vector using the first descriptive string using a machine learning model; identifying a second descriptive string which corresponds to the consumable item and which has a correct spelling of the at least one incorrectly spelled word by applying the machine learning model to the generated vector; calculating a confidence factor regarding the identified second descriptive string using the machine learning model; and when it is determined that the confidence factor exceeds a predetermined threshold, (i) modifying the first data record by replacing the first descriptive string with the second descriptive string, and (ii) storing the modified first data record in the database.

  • Patent number: 9603554
    Abstract: Receiving a plurality of images of a first wall of the patient's heart, the plurality including a first image captured at a time ij and a second image captured at a time t2, determining, based on the plurality of images, a first characteristic of movement of at least a wall portion of the first wall during a time period spanning time t1 and time t2, the first characteristic of movement being determined by using one or more image processing techniques, and the first, characteristic of movement being based on at least one of: (i) a shape of the wall portion in the first image and a shape of the wall portion in the second image, and (ii) a location of the wall portion in the first image and a location of the wall portion in the second image: and outputting an indication of the first characteristic of movement.

  • Patent number: 9330336
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and media for on-line boosting of a classifier are provided, comprising: receiving a training sample; for each of a plurality of features, determining a feature value for the training sample and the feature, using the feature value to update a histogram, and determining a threshold for a classifier of the feature; for each of the plurality of features, classifying the training sample using the threshold for the classifier of the feature and calculating an error associated with the classifier; selecting a plurality of best classifiers from the classifiers; and, for each of the plurality of best classifiers, assigning a voting weight to the one of the plurality of best classifiers.
