  • Patent number: 11972108
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for generating and using a basic state layer. N task models are provided (N?2). Each task model was trained on a same pre-trained backbone model. Each task model includes M feature layers and a task layer (M?1). Each feature layer of each task model includes a parameter matrix that is different for the different models. An encoder-decoder model is trained. The encoder-decoder model includes sequentially: an input layer, an encoder, M hidden layers, a decoder, and an output layer. The encoder is a neural network that maps and compresses the parameter matrices in the input layer into the M hidden layers, which generates a basic state model. The decoder is a neural network that receives the basic state model as input and generates the output layer to be identical to the input layer.

  • Publication number: 20240096121
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for training and using a vector encoder to determine vectors for sub-images of text in an image to subject to optical character recognition. A vector encoder is trained to encode images representing text into vectors in a vector space. Vectors of images representing similar text have a high degree of cohesion in the vector space. Vectors of images representing dissimilar text have a low degree of cohesion in the vector space. An input image is processed to determine sub-images of the input image that bound text represented in the input image. The sub-images are inputted to the vector encoder to output sub-image vectors. The vector encoder generates a search vector for search text. Optical character recognition is applied to at least one region of the input image including the sub-images having sub-image vectors matching the search vector.

  • Patent number: 7403867
    Abstract: A spectroscopy instrument that uses spectra produced from random binary sequence modulated data. Statistical estimation techniques are used to achieve resolution enhancement, while properly accounting for the Poisson noise distribution and other artifacts introduced by a modulator or “chopper” or other system components. A resolution similar to that of modern spectrometers can be achieved. Both static and dynamic behaviors are theoretically or measured experimentally accounted for in the model as determined. In one embodiment, the finite penetration of the field beyond the plane of the chopper leads to non-ideal chopper response, which is characterized in terms of an “energy corruption” effect and a lead or lag in the time at which the beam responds to the chopper potential.

  • Patent number: 7031877
    Abstract: A spectroscopy instrument that uses spectra produced from random binary sequence modulated data. Statistical estimation techniques are used to achieve resolution enhancement, while properly accounting for the Poisson noise distribution and other artifacts introduced by a modulator or “chopper” or other system components. Indeed, a resolution similar to that of modern spectrometers can be achieved with a dramatic performance advantage over conventional, serial detection analyzers. Both static and dynamic behaviors are theoretically or measured experimentally accounted for in the model as determined. In one embodiment, the finite penetration of the field beyond the plane of the chopper leads to non-ideal chopper response, which is characterized in terms of an “energy corruption” effect and a lead or lag in the time at which the beam responds to the chopper potential.
