Abstract: A computer-implemented technique performs machine learning that bypasses the traditional design of loss functions. The technique includes receiving plural instances of gradient objective information. Each of the plural instances includes a particular combination of plural gradient elements. The technique produces plural sets of machine-trained parameter values using the plural respective instances of gradient objective information. The technique performs this operation based on the plural instances of gradient objective information as given, without calculating the plural instances of gradient objective information using loss functions. The technique then measures performance of the plural sets of machine-trained parameter values in an application system. Based on the measured performance, the technique provides output information that identifies a particular set of machine-trained parameter values that satisfies a prescribed test.

Abstract: A spoil-based lightweight porous backfill for purifying waste gas and wastewater and a method of use thereof are disclosed. The spoil-based lightweight porous backfill is formed with a plurality of interconnected pores, and the pores are loaded with a purification material.

Abstract: This disclosure principally describes a framework for providing endpoint encryption-based file protection at the system-wide level on client devices. For instance, this disclosure describes a file protection system that utilizes a holistic, system-wide security approach to provide trusted container solutions for protected files accessed on a client device. For example, the file protection system creates and binds security information metadata to protected file content at an endpoint device, which helps enforce the access rights and permissions of a file at a system-wide level. In addition, the security information metadata remains bound to the file even if the protected content is modified. Furthermore, if the file is shared with another client device, the security information metadata within the file enables the file protection system to maintain the initially set protections and access rights on the other client devices.

Abstract: A tracking target position estimation unit and a tracking target search unit that searches for a tracking target are included. The tracking target search unit calculates one or more search routes connecting a current position of the mobile device and a position where the tracking target can exist, generates a search route list in which the calculated one or more search routes are arranged from the top in order of proximity to a tracking target estimated position, and selects a search route in order from the top of the generated search route list, and moves the mobile device according to the selected search route to search for the tracking target. It is determined whether or not the tracking target has been detected based on an image captured by a camera mounted on the mobile device, and in a case where the tracking target has been detected, tracking processing is resumed.

The method further includes selecting first target entity pairs from the first candidate entity pairs based on the alignment difficulty degree of each of the first candidate entity pairs, acquiring a labeled alignment result of each of the first target entity pairs, and obtaining a trained knowledge graph alignment model according to the predicted alignment probability and the labeled alignment result of each of the first target entity pairs.

Abstract: Several policies are trained for determining communication parameters used by mobile devices in selecting a cell of a first communication network to operate on. The several policies form a policy bank. By adjusting the communication parameters, load balancing among cells of the first communication network is achieved. A policy selector is trained so that a target communication network, different than the first communication network, can be load balanced. The policy selector selects a policy from the policy bank for the target communication network. The target communication network applies the policy and the load is balanced on the target communication network. Improved load balancing leads to a reduction of the number of base stations needed in the target communication network.

Abstract: This document describes systems and techniques directed at mitigating display diffraction flares for under-display sensing. In aspects, an equation may be derived that models the effects of a display in producing a diffraction phenomenon at an image plane of a sensing region for an under-display light-sensing device. The equation may be used to determine an arrangement (e.g., an optimized arrangement) of components (e.g., sub-pixels) within the display that minimizes a diffraction efficiency for at least one diffraction order and, thereby, mitigates an intensity and/or a prevalence of optical artifacts in light-sensing data. In implementations, an image intensity point-spread-function is utilized to calculate diffraction efficiencies for respective diffraction orders (e.g., the lowest diffraction orders, the diffraction orders with the greatest brightness).

For a given claim, the tool provides the data as input into a supervised machine learning model and receives as output from the supervised machine learning model a predicted performance of the claim.

The tool combines the outputs of the supervised machine learning model and the unsupervised machine learning model to generate the provider score.

Abstract: Systems and methods of route optimization are disclosed. An adjustment engine receives a plurality of driver-trip pairs each including a driver selected from a plurality of drivers and a trip selected from a plurality of trips and determines a weight for each of the driver-trip pairs. The weight is determined based on at least one driver-trip feature, at least one driver feature, and at least one trip feature.

Trip data is transmitted to a corresponding device associated with a corresponding driver paired with each trip in the set of optimal driver-trip pairs.
