  • Patent number: 12036980
    Abstract: A course prediction device (1) includes a blind spot calculation unit (11) and a prediction unit (12). The blind spot calculation unit (11) acquires a sensing result sequentially from a sensor which is arranged in a mobile object and which detects whether an object exists, and calculates, based on sensor information, a blind spot area expressing such an area that an object existing therein cannot be detected by the sensor. The blind spot calculation unit (11) also detects an object entering the blind spot area based on the sensor information. The prediction unit (12) predicts a course in the blind spot area of the detected object based on the sensing result.

    Abstract: A computerized method for detection of categorical drift within an incoming data stream. Herein, an error threshold is computed based on a first set of training data samples selected to detect categorical drift occurring for a data stream. Thereafter, probability distributions associated with content of a first and second data samples of the data stream are computed. Analytics are conducted to compute a difference between content of the first probability distribution that is based on a first data point of the first data sample and content of the second probability distribution that is based on a first data point of the second data sample. After computing the difference, that categorical drift is determined whether categorical drift detection has been conducted.

  • Patent number: 11828894
    Abstract: A multi-scale unsupervised seismic velocity inversion method based on an autoencoder for observation data. Large-scale information is extracted by the autoencoder, which is used for guiding an inversion network to complete the recovery of different-scale features in a velocity model, thereby reducing the non-linearity degree of inversion. A trained encoder part is embedded into the network to complete the extraction of seismic observation data information at the front end, so it can better analyze the information contained in seismic data, the mapping relationship between the data and velocity model is established better, then the inversion method is unsupervised, and location codes are added to the observation data to assist the network in perceiving the layout form of an observation system, which facilitates practical engineering application. Thus a relatively accurate inversion result of the seismic velocity model when no real geological model serves as a network training label can be achieved.

    Abstract: An extracted hypothesis has logical formulas leading to a possible conclusion. If the logical formulas include one including a first parameter a value obtained from observation data and a second parameter that does not have a value obtained from the observation data, the logical formula is set as a target logical formula, and a value of the second parameter acquired based on the observation data is input. If there is no such logical formula, but there is a logical formula that has, for one or more parameters, a value set in advance or obtained using inference knowledge, whether this logical formula is true or false is determined. When whether the logical formula is true or false is determined, or, when the value of the second parameter is input, the logical formula is added to the observation data, and a hypothesis is derived again.

  • Patent number: 11783008
    Abstract: Certain embodiments involve using a machine-learning tool to generate metadata identifying segments and topics for text within a document. For instance, in some embodiments, a text processing system obtains input text and applies a segmentation-and-labeling model to the input text. The segmentation-and-labeling model is trained to generate a predicted segment for the input text using a segmentation network. The segmentation-and-labeling model is also trained to generate a topic for the predicted segment using a pooling network of the model to the predicted segment. The output of the model is usable for generating metadata identifying the predicted segment and the associated topic.

  • Patent number: 11741699
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for using one or more feature recognition system(s) to identify features in a scanned image and to associate tags with identified features are described. Probabilities of a feature being present are taken into consideration in some embodiments. In various embodiments once a tag has been determined as corresponding to a feature which has been confirmed as being in the scanned image synonyms for the tag word are identified and also associated with the scanned image. By using results of multiple automated feature recognition systems and generating overall probabilities that a feature is present in an image more reliable tagging can be implemented in an automated manner than in system which rely on a single AI system without the need for extensive operator input with respect to identification of all features in the image which are to be tagged.
