Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for estimating imputation algorithm performance. Multiple imputer algorithms are selected, and an evaluation of how well each of the imputer algorithms can estimate the missing data is performed. Disclosed embodiments obtain an imputer candidate dataset (ICD). The imputer candidate dataset is compared to the incomplete data range, and a similarity metric is determined between the data range and the ICD. When the similarity metric exceeds a predetermined threshold, an imputer evaluation dataset (IED) is created from the ICD by removing one or more data points from the ICD. Each imputer algorithm is evaluated by applying the IED to it, and computing an imputer evaluation metric based on its performance. The multiple imputer algorithms are ranked based on the imputer evaluation metric. The best ranked imputer algorithm can then be selected for use on the incomplete data range within the measurement dataset.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide an online domain adaptation framework based on cross-domain bootstrapping for online domain adaptation, in which the target domain streaming data is deleted immediately after adapted. At each online query, the data diversity is increased across domains by bootstrapping the source domain to form diverse combinations with the current target query. To fully take advantage of the valuable discrepancies among the diverse combinations, a set of independent learners are trained to preserve the differences. The knowledge of the learners is then integrated by exchanging their predicted pseudo-labels on the current target query to co-supervise the learning on the target domain, but without sharing the weights to maintain the learners' divergence.

Abstract: Blockchain latency is improved by unclogging a mempool, which frees up electronic memory and reduces CPU usage and network bandwidth. Mining data of one or more initial blocks of a blockchain is accessed. The mining data reveals, for each miner, the time delay between individual transactions mined by that miner. A subset of miners is then determined to have lower time delays than miners not in the subset. Thereafter, a different random number is generated for each new block of the blockchain system to be mined. Based on a comparison of this random number and a predefined threshold, either an exploitation phase or an exploration phase is entered for the mining of each new block. In the exploitation phase, mining tasks are assigned only to the subset of the miners. In the exploration phase, mining tasks are assigned to both miners within the subset and miners not in the subset.

Abstract: Traditionally, vital signs monitors in the veterinary setting have been designed for use with human subjects that have simply been repurposed for use in the veterinary space. While some changes may be made to the human monitor to make it more amenable for veterinary use (e.g., changing the monitor display options from “adult” and “pediatric” to “large animal” and “small animal”), these changes are generally only done on a superficial level and thus omit significant veterinary-specific functionality that might otherwise be obtained. Further, vital signs monitors do not include a pre-procedure checklist or any functionality to increase safety awareness and allow clinics to ensure compliance with certain pre-procedure protocols. Accordingly, it is a purpose of the present invention to provide a veterinary-specific vitals signs monitor that overcomes these traditional limitations and increases the ease and efficiency with which veterinary care can be delivered.
