  • Patent number: 12163882
    Abstract: A method for selection of a calibration set and a validation set based on spectral similarity and modeling. The method includes: performing NIR spectrometry on original samples to obtain a spectral matrix of the original samples; randomly selecting m samples as an independent test set; calculating spectral similarity between each of the samples in the independent test set and each of the remaining samples in the original samples respectively to obtain g samples having the highest similarity to be written into the validation set; and calculating spectral similarity between each of the samples in the validation set and each of the remaining samples in the original samples respectively to obtain n samples having the highest similarity to be written into the calibration set. Based on the validation set and the calibration set selected through the method, an obtained model can predict unknown samples more accurately.

  • Patent number: 12066920
    Abstract: The technology described herein provides an automated software-testing platform that uses reinforcement learning to discover how to perform tasks used in testing. The technology described herein is able to perform quality testing even when prescribed paths to completing tasks are not provided. The reinforcement-learning agent is not directly supervised to take actions in any given situation, but rather learns which sequences of actions generate the most rewards through the observed states and rewards from the environment. In the software-testing environment, the state can be user interface features and actions are interactions with user interface elements. The testing system may recognize when a sought after state is achieved by comparing a new state to a reward criteria.

  • Patent number: 12001320
    Abstract: The technology described herein provides a cloud reinforcement-learning architecture that allows a single reinforcement-learning model to interact with multiple live software environments. The live software environments and the single reinforcement-learning model run in a distributed computing environment (e.g., cloud environment). The single reinforcement-learning model may run on a first computing device(s) with a graphical processing unit (GPU) to aid in training the single reinforcement-learning model. At a high level, the single reinforcement-learning model may receive state telemetry data from the multiple live environments. The single reinforcement-learning model selects an available action for each set of state telemetry data received and communicates the selection to appropriate the test agent. The test agent then facilitates completion of the action within the software instance being tested in the live environment. A reward is then determined for the action.

  • Publication number: 20230367696
    Abstract: The technology described herein trains a reinforcement-learning model in a simulated environment. A simulated environment contrasts with a live environment. A live environment is a computing environment with which the reinforcement-learning model will interact once it is deployed. In order to be effective, the simulated environment may provide inputs to the reinforcement-learning model in the same format as the reinforcement-learning model receives from the live environment. In aspects, the training in the simulated environment may act as pre-training for training in the live environment. Once pre-trained, the reinforcement-learning model may be deployed in a live environment and continue to learn how to perform the same task in different ways, learn how to perform additional tasks, and/or improve performance of a task learned in pre-training. In aspects, the reinforcement-learning model may be used to discover unhealthy conditions in software by performing the tasks it has learned.

  • Patent number: 11723360
    Abstract: By determining the lethality rate to Meloidogyne incognita and Caenorhabditis elegans, it was found that the methylmalonic acid has a better nematicidal effect on the Caenorhabditis elegans, with the LC50 being 13.11 and 1.20 for the Meloidogyne incognita and the Caenorhabditis elegans, respectively. After compounding the methylmalonic acid with betaine, the LC50 was 2.85 and 0.27 for the Meloidogyne incognita and the Caenorhabditis elegans, respectively. Meanwhile, the methylmalonic acid also has an inhibiting effect on Pseudomonas solanacearum and Erwinia carotovora. The preparation of the methylmalonic acid provides a new choice for preparing novel biocontrol agents against the root-knot nematodes.
