  • Patent number: 11922099
    Abstract: An urban design pipeline automatically generates design options for an urban design project. The urban design pipeline includes a geometry engine and an evaluation engine. The geometry engine analyzes design criteria, design objectives, and design heuristics associated with the urban design project and then generates numerous candidate designs. The design criteria specify a property boundary associated with a region of land to be developed. The design objectives indicate a specific type of topology that is derived from an existing urban layout. The design heuristics include different sets of construction rules for generating designs with specific types of topologies. The geometry engine generates candidate designs that conform to the property boundary and have topological characteristics in common with the existing urban layout.

  • Patent number: 11914621
    Abstract: An association metric for record attributes associated with cardinalities that are not necessarily the same is used for training and/or applying an entity resolution (ER) model. A pair of records includes (a) a first record indicating a first set of values for a first attribute and (b) a second record indicating a second set of values for a second attribute. Each of the first set of values and each of the second set of values are compared to determine individual association metrics. A first-level reduction operation is applied to subsets of the individual association metrics to determine reduced association metrics. A second-level reduction operation is applied to the reduced association metrics to determine an association metric, for the pair of records, for training and/or applying an ER model.

  • Patent number: 11914784
    Abstract: Computerized methods and systems, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, may adaptively predict expression of emotions based on collected biometric data. For example, a computing system may receive first data indicative of a first time-evolving movement of a portion of a body during a collection period, and may obtain second data identifying predictive models that correlate default emotions with second feature values that characterize body movements during prior collection periods. Based on an outcome of the application of the least one pattern recognition algorithm or machine learning algorithm to portions of the first and second data, the system may determine a corresponding one of the default emotions represented by the first time-evolving movement, and may transmit data indicative of the corresponding one of the default emotions to the communications device for presentation to a user.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 11829878
    Abstract: In sequence level prediction of a sequence of frames of high dimensional data one or more affective labels are provided at the end of the sequence. Each label pertains to the entire sequence of frames. An action is taken with an agent controlled by a machine learning algorithm for a current frame of the sequence at a current time step. An output of the action represents affective label prediction for the frame at the current time step. A pool of actions taken up until the current time step including the action taken with the agent is transformed into a predicted affective history for a subsequent time step. A reward is generated on predicted actions up to the current time step by comparing the predicted actions against corresponding annotated affective labels.

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.

  • Patent number: 11714961
    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.

  • Patent number: 11712193
    Abstract: Systems and methods for tracking EEG data and providing enhanced seizure detection and prediction are disclosed. The systems and methods use input sensors for receiving and collecting data from a plurality of EEG channels in association with a subject and processing said data to calculate and average Lyapunov exponents for a composite EEG data set. The systems and methods convert the average Lyapunov exponents into graphical representations that are displayed against a time axis. The graphical output adjusts in real-time according to the input data obtained from EEG channels. The systems and methods utilize pattern recognition to output alarms based upon input data and recommend diagnoses related to seizures.

  • Patent number: 11706491
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for selecting content item identifiers for display. The system may identify a set of content items that are likely to be requested in the future based on a history of content item requests. The system then selects a first plurality of content categories using a category selection neural net and selects a first set of recommended content items for the first plurality of content categories. The system increases a reward score for the first plurality of content categories based on receiving a request for a content item that is included in the first set of recommended content items. The system also decreases the reward score for the first plurality of content categories based on determining that the requested content item is included in the set of content items that are likely to be requested in the future. The neural net is trained based on the reward score of the first plurality of content categories to reinforce reward score maximization.
