Abstract: A content moderation system analyzes speech, or characteristics thereof, and determines a toxicity score representing the likelihood that a given clip of speech is toxic. A user interface displays a timeline with various instances of toxicity by one or more users for a give session. The user interface is optimized for moderation interaction, and shows how the conversation containing toxicity evolves over the time domain of a conversation.

Abstract: A method for online voice content moderation provides a multi-stage voice content analysis system. The system includes a pre-moderator stage having a toxicity scorer configured to provide a toxicity score for a given toxic speech content from a user. The toxicity score is a function of a platform content policy. The method generates a toxicity score for the given toxic speech content. The toxic speech content is provided to a moderator as a function of the toxicity score.

Abstract: Illustrative embodiments employ trained artificial intelligence to provide real-time (e.g., zero introduced latency), or near-real-time (e.g., less than 500 ms of introduced latency), moderation of a verbal communication, without the need for human moderators. By using predictive technology with pre-defined knowledge of undesirable content (e.g., speech to be redacted from a verbal communication), undesirable content of a verbal communication (e.g., human speech or text-to-speech communication) may be censored, as the verbal communication is created. Prediction of undesirable content may be based on context of the initial audio communication (e.g., words preceding the offensive language) and/or the phonetic content of the verbal communication preceding the undesirable content, and/or the phonetic content of the undesirable content itself (e.g., the first sounds of offensive language).

Abstract: Devices associated with on-body analyte sensor units are disclosed. These devices include any of packaging and/or loading systems, applicators and elements of the on-body sensor units themselves. Also, various approaches to connecting electrochemical analyte sensors to and/or within associated on-body analyte sensor units are disclosed. The connector approaches variously involve the use of unique sensor and ancillary element arrangements to facilitate assembly of separate electronics assemblies and sensor elements that are kept apart until the end user brings them together.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a mounting platform comprising a retainer plate opening that includes a first opening profile at a top platform surface of the mounting platform and a second opening profile at a bottom platform surface of the mounting platform. the top platform surface first receives a retainer plate when nested within the mounting platform, and the bottom platform surface abuts the retainer plate when the retainer plate is nested within the mounting platform. The first opening profile matches a planform profile of the retainer plate and is etched into the top platform surface through to the bottom platform surface, and the second opening profile is etched from midway between the top platform surface and the bottom platform surface through to the bottom platform surface. The second opening profile corresponding to a rotational offset of the first opening profile by a predetermined angle.

The first set of one or more drive outputs are coupled to and/or extending from the base portion and are configured to drive a first medical instrument. The platform is secured to the base portion and movable between an elevated configuration and a depressed configuration. The platform is biased in the elevated configuration. The latching mechanism is configured to cause the platform to be held in the depressed configuration.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a rotational coupling mechanism for releasably coupling a device to a mounting platform. In one example, a user may nest a device within the mounting platform and perform a single rotation of the nested device to toggle between a locked position and an unlocked position. The user may continue the single rotation of the nested device, in the same clockwise or anticlockwise direction, to toggle the device from the unlocked position and back to the locked position. In a locked position, the device is restricted from translation relative to the mounting platform, however, the device may continue to rotate in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction to toggle between a locked and unlocked position. In an unlocked position, the device may disengage freely from the mounting platform and is thus subsequently free to move in any translational direction or about any rotational axis.

Abstract: A method watermarks speech data by using a generator to generate speech data including a watermark. The generator is trained to generate the speech data including the watermark. The training process generates first speech from the generator. The first speech data is configured to represent speech. The first speech data includes a candidate watermark. The training also produces an inconsistency message as a function of at least one difference between the first speech data and at least authentic speech data. The training further includes transforming the first speech data, including the candidate watermark, using a watermark robustness module to produce transformed speech data including a transformed candidate watermark. The transformed speech data includes a transformed candidate watermark. The training further produces a watermark-detectability message, using a watermark detection machine learning system, relating to one or more desirable watermark features of the transformed candidate watermark.
