  • Patent number: 11961513
    Abstract: A decoder includes a feature extraction circuit for calculating one or more feature vectors. An acoustic model circuit is coupled to receive one or more feature vectors from and assign one or more likelihood values to the one or more feature vectors. A memory architecture that utilizes on-chip state lattices and an off-chip memory for storing states of transition of the decoder is used to reduce reading and writing to the off-chip memory. The on-chip state lattice is populated with at least one of the states of transition stored in the off-chip memory. An on-chip word is generated from a snapshot from the on-chip state lattice. The on-chip state lattice and the on-chip word lattice act as an on-chip cache to reduce reading and writing to the off-chip memory.

A restricted version of the MBSE model is managed by a model maker (or other user with access rights) inside of an organization includes all of the model's engineering elements. The engineering elements are tagged with metadata that is analyzed to determine which elements are shareable and which are unshareable outside of the organization. An unrestricted version of the MBSE model is then created, either directly from the restricted version or through an intermediary version (referred to as the “stripped version”), to include only shareable engineering elements. This unrestricted version may then be shared with the outside vendors, and changes made by either in the restricted or unrestricted versions may be incorporated in the other versions, providing a truly collaborative MBSE experience.

    Abstract: A system for detecting a conflict of interest between entities includes a server and a database. The server selects a category to be evaluated for detecting whether or not two entities have a conflict of interest. A tree structure is created including the category and child and descendent categories of the category. The category and the child and descendent categories are hierarchically arranged as nodes of the tree structure. For the two entities, a conflict potential value is iteratively computed for each node based upon a previous conflict potential value of that node, previous conflict potential values of neighbouring nodes and distances between that node and neighbouring nodes. A conflict index value is computed for each node based upon the conflict potential value for that node for each entity. A conflict of interest between the entities is detected if the conflict index value of a node matches a predefined criteria.

  • Patent number: 11868443
    Abstract: A neural network is trained to process input data and generate a classification value that characterizes the input with respect to an ordered continuum of classes. For example, the input data may comprise an image and the classification value may be indicative of a quality of the image. The ordered continuum of classes may represent classes of quality of the image ranging from “worst”, “bad”, “normal”, “good”, to “best”. During training, loss values are determined using an ordered classification loss function. The ordered classification loss function maintains monotonicity in the loss values that corresponds to placement in the continuum. For example, the classification value for a “bad” image will be less than the classification value indicative of a “best” image. The classification value may be used for subsequent processing. For example, biometric input data may be required to have a minimum classification value for further processing.

  • Patent number: 11868387
    Abstract: State of art techniques that utilize spatial association based Table structure Recognition (TSR) have limitation in selecting minimal but most informative word pairs to generate digital table representation. Embodiments herein provide a method and system for TSR from an table image via deep spatial association of words using optimal number of word pairs, analyzed by a single classifier to determine word association. The optimal number of word pairs are identified by utilizing immediate left neighbors and immediate top neighbors approach followed redundant word pair elimination, thus enabling accurate capture of structural feature of even complex table images via minimal word pairs.
