Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include a method to predict annotation spans without requiring any labeled annotation data. The approach is to consider AES as a Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) task. The disclosed embodiments show that such models can both predict content scores and localize content by leveraging their sentence-level score predictions. This capability arises despite never having access to annotation training data. Implications are discussed for improving formative feedback and explainable AES models.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for processing natural language for machine learning analytical systems. The method includes receiving, at a processor, an input including text representing one or more observed parameters of an environment. The inputted text is in a natural language format. The processor parses the input and extracts the one or more parameters. A function is defined representing a domain of the one or more observed parameters based upon the one or more extracted parameters.

Abstract: A generator for providing highly interactive, immersive training and mission rehearsal scenarios for war fighters and leaders on the job is provided. Through natural language understanding, the automation of such scenarios may be enabled and quickly created to ensure effectiveness, consistency, completeness and relevance. New tactical simulations may be added to the system by writing software adapters to down-translate from an abstract scenario model to the specific tactical simulation and its delivery platform. Finally, this same approach of interpreting written problem or task specifications may be extended to instruction in non-military domains that also leverage system or device simulations.

Abstract: A system and method of cooling a rocket motor component includes injecting a high pressure liquid coolant through an injector nozzle into a cooling chamber. The cooling chamber having a pressure lower than the high pressure liquid coolant. The liquid coolant flashes into a saturated liquid-vapor coolant mixture in the cooling chamber. The saturated liquid-vapor coolant mixture is at equilibrium at the lower pressure of the cooling chamber. Heat from the rocket motor component to be cooled is absorbed by the coolant. A portion of the liquid portion of the saturated liquid-vapor coolant mixture is converted into gas phase, the converted portion being less than 100% of the coolant. A portion of the coolant is released from the cooling chamber and the coolant in the cooling chamber is dynamically maintained at less than 100% gas phase of the coolant as the thrust and heat generated by the rocket motor varies.

Abstract: A marketing system and method for interacting with existing commerce processes for delivering relevant, timely, and useful marketing information to a consumer. A method implemented using a computing system includes (a) obtaining, using the computing system, a set of shipment parameters for a shipment to be delivered to a receiver; (b) auctioning electronically a shipment addition responsive to the set of shipment parameters wherein the auctioning identifies a selected content provider from a plurality of content providers as a winning content provider; (c) acquiring, from the winning content provider, a particular shipment addition for the shipment addition; (d) producing a specified shipment addition including the particular shipment addition; and thereafter (e) associating the specified shipment addition with the shipment wherein the shipment and the specified shipment addition are to be shipped to the receiver.

Abstract: A method used in an information processing apparatus for transferring a set of images from a server unit over a network and controlling a printing process of the transferred set of images, the method comprising: a) forming an image selection method at a local network device for identifying the set of images; b) communicating the image selection method to the server unit over the network; c) receiving, at a network device other than the local network device, the set of images from the server unit over the network responsive to the image selection method; d) arranging the set of images into a layout on the network device other than the local network device; e) converting the layout into a page description language (PDL) format file; and f) communicating the PDL format file to a printer over the network.

Abstract: An apparatus which inhibits the theft of equipment such as personal computers is disclosed. The equipment must have an external wall provided with a specially designed, approximately rectangular slot having preselected dimensions. An attachment mechanism includes a housing for a spindle having a first portion rotatable within the housing, a shaft extending outwardly from the housing, and a crossmember at the end of the shaft having peripheral dimensions closely conforming to the internal dimensions of the slot. An abutment mechanism also emanates from the housing, and is located on opposite sides of the shaft intermediate the housing and the crossmember. The peripheral cross-sectional dimensions of the abutment mechanism and the shaft in combination closely conform to the dimensions of the slot. The length of the shaft from the housing to the crossmember is approximately equal to the thickness of the external wall of equipment.
