  • Publication number: 20240394549
    Abstract: The subject technology uses a bootstrapping approach to train language models (LMs) to explain outcomes determined by neural networks, ensemble models, reinforcement learning models, LMs, and other black box machine learning models. The bootstrapping approach may train multiple iterations of a tuned LM using training data determined from progressively complex machine learning models and progressively detailed natural language explanations. The model explanations determined by the tuned LM may be displayed in a user interface (UI) included in a publishing system to provide users more context about and a greater understanding of the decision making process used by the black box machine learning models to determine outcomes.

  • Publication number: 20240378389
    Abstract: The subject technology uses an agent architecture for language models and large language models (LMs) to complete a variety of different tasks within software platforms. The agent LMs are trained to determine different action chains that may be used to generate responses to tasks requested by users. The action chains may include a sequence of multiple actions that each complete a portion of the requested task. The agent LMs may be trained to perform different types of action chains using training prompts that teach the agent LMs to use tools that enable the LMs to interact with different software resources. The agent architecture may coordinate multiple agent LMs to complete tasks that require multiple action chains to complete.

  • Patent number: 12053767
    Abstract: In one aspect, a method for manufacturing a lattice structure for use as a propulsion catalyst includes: (a) providing a powder bed of one or more metal powder materials, (b) heating a portion of the powder bed to a temperature sufficient to melt the one or more metal powder materials, (c) forming a layer of the lattice structure, wherein the layer is formed by melting the one or more metal powder materials in a predefined pattern, (d) constructing the lattice structure, wherein the lattice structure is constructed by repeating steps (a)-(c) for each of a plurality of layers of the lattice structure until the lattice structure is constructed, and (e) removing excess materials from the constructed lattice structure.

  • Publication number: 20240212001
    Abstract: The subject technology optimizes media requests to improve the efficiency and reduce the costs of online media campaigns. The request optimization system may implement one or more ensemble learning techniques that leverage multiple machine learning systems trained on different datasets. The request optimization system may use the ensemble learning techniques to generate optimized media requests that account for one or more campaign goals and minimize price inefficiencies incurred while purchasing placements in online media exchanges. In various embodiments, dynamic data including real time exchange and impression data may be collected and used to retrain one or more machine learning systems. Retaining the machine learning systems on dynamic data may improve the performance of optimized media requests determined by the retrained systems.

  • Publication number: 20240054058
    Abstract: The subject technology detects anomalies in media campaign configuration settings. The anomaly detection system may leverage one or more deep learning models to detect anomalies and identify particular configuration settings that contribute to the detected anomalies. In various embodiments, two or more of the deep learning models may be combined into an ensemble model that boosts the accuracy of anomaly predictions made by the anomaly detection system. The anomaly detection system may review the configuration settings of media campaigns during the configuration process and before the media campaigns run on a publication system in order to reduce the amount of unsuccessful campaigns and minimize the amount of wasted resources spent on running campaigns that have a low likelihood of achieving user defined goals.

  • Patent number: 11858703
    Abstract: A food delivery system includes a food delivery container and a cell phone programmed to monitor for unauthorized access to food content provided in the food delivery container, once secured. The food delivery container has an internal volume, an opening, a cover to cover the opening to prevent access, and uncover the opening to allow access, a device for securing the cover and a sensing device for detecting whether the cover, after being positioned to cover the opening, is (still) secured over the opening, in reliance upon a state of the device for securing. The device for securing first implements a pairing or synchronizing operation with the cell phone. If the sensing device detects that the cover is not secured over the opening by the device for securing, after first being secured and armed thereon, the cell phone determines whether an authorized access has occurred.

  • Publication number: 20220374943
    Abstract: The subject technology identifies a series of journey event types in an online user journey, the event types including an impression event, an email event, a click event, and a website visit, and assigns an encoder to each event type. Using an assigned encoder, the technology encodes each event type to generate an encoded vector for each event type. The encoded vector is representative of at least a portion of the online user journey relating to that event type. The technology generates an encoded vector for each event type to create a set of encoded vectors, the set of encoded vectors including one or more of an impression event encoded vector, an email event encoded vector, a click event encoded vector, and a website visit encoded vector. The technology aggregates the set of encoded vectors to generate an output of the online user journey encoder, the output including a composite encoded user journey vector for training one or more attention layers to make a prediction.
