Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for inferring an embedding vector of an item of a first type into the embedding space. Upon receiving a first time for which there is no embedding vector, documents of a document corpus that include (co-occurrence) both the received item and other items of the same type are identified. Of those other items that have embedding vectors, those embedding vectors are retrieved and averaged. The resulting averaged embedding vector is established as an inferred embedding vector for the received item.

Abstract: A flexible peristaltic robot with a built-in bidirectional gas pump for self-regulating gas flow. The robot includes a head-end airbag, an extension-retraction airbag, a tail-end airbag, a power module, a control module and a bidirectional gas pump. When there is harmful gas or less gas in the external environment, an additional airbag is provided in the flexible peristaltic robot to form a closed internal circulation of air flow. Otherwise, the robot directly exchanges gas with the external environment to form an open external circulation of air flow. The flexible peristaltic robot can either use multiple bidirectional air pumps or use a single bidirectional air pump and multiple electrically-controlled switches to control the expansion and contraction of the airbags to enable the robot to move forward.
