Generating Context-Aware Linearized Representations Of Tabular Data For Language Models, Ashutosh Dwivedi
Generating Context-Aware Linearized Representations Of Tabular Data For Language Models, Ashutosh Dwivedi
Defensive Publications Series
Large Language Models (LLMs) may experience challenges when processing information from hypertext markup language (HTML) tables, as providing table data without its original on-page context can lead to suboptimal comprehension and factuality. A disclosed technology can address this with a two-step offline process. First, a context generation module can create a descriptive summary for a table by analyzing its page title, table title, and nearby caption text. Second, a linearization module can use this context to convert the structured HTML table into a descriptive, natural language paragraph. The resulting linearized text passages may enable LLMs to better comprehend and integrate …
Font Size Adjustment Based On Ambient Light And User Profile, Sahil Gupta
Font Size Adjustment Based On Ambient Light And User Profile, Sahil Gupta
Defensive Publications Series
Reading text on electronic device displays can be difficult in varying ambient light conditions, particularly for users with age-related vision changes. Current solutions require manual font size adjustments, which are static, cumbersome, and separate from automatic brightness controls. This disclosure describes a method for adjusting the font size on a display in response to changing conditions, without requiring explicit user interaction. For example, an ambient light sensor may measure surrounding light levels, and user-specific data, such as age and/or a vision quality rating, can be optionally provided. An algorithm uses these inputs to determine an appropriate font size in real …

Browser-Integrated Bidding System For Third-Party Ai Agent Tools, Jason Mayes
Browser-Integrated Bidding System For Third-Party Ai Agent Tools, Jason Mayes
Defensive Publications Series
Currently, artificial intelligence agents may need to use multiple proprietary tools from different third parties to complete a complex user-assigned task. This creates a fragmented process for payment and tool selection, as there is no centralized mechanism for discovering, comparing, and paying for these agentic tools. In an example implementation, a web browser is configured to facilitate a bidding process for third-party agent tools. For example, when a specific function is required by an agent, suitable tools are identified by the web browser from a central marketplace or via indexes on websites. These tool providers can then bid for the …

Modular Language Model Architecture With Collaborative Routing Between Heterogeneous Experts, Johannes Start, John Lunney
Modular Language Model Architecture With Collaborative Routing Between Heterogeneous Experts, Johannes Start, John Lunney
Defensive Publications Series
Traditional large language models (LLMs) are single, massive models that are expensive and time-consuming to train. A mixture of experts (MoE) architecture attempts to ameliorate the relative inflexibility of traditional LLMs by activating only a subset of the model parameters (known as experts) during each inference step. However, even MoEs lack modularity, as their experts are trained together and generally do not collaborate. This disclosure describes an LLM architecture and techniques that utilize multiple, complete, and independently pre-trained LLMs as modular macro-experts. The architecture, referred to as a heterogeneous macro mixture of experts (macro-MoE), includes a trainable gating network that …
Enhanced Optical Supervisory Channel (Osc) Safety Verification For Automatic Laser Shutoff Systems, Anonymous
Enhanced Optical Supervisory Channel (Osc) Safety Verification For Automatic Laser Shutoff Systems, Anonymous
Defensive Publications Series
This disclosure addresses critical safety vulnerabilities associated with Optical Supervisory Channel (OSC) systems used for Automatic Laser Safety Shutoff (ALSO) in optical networks. Existing methods assume correct OSC connectivity based solely on manual provisioning, which poses significant risks of unsafe amplifier operation during fiber disruptions.

Optimized Fiber Movement During Datacenter Network Transformation, Na
Defensive Publications Series
This disclosure describes techniques for optimal fiber movement between datacenter racks during network transformation and/or network configuration changes. Per techniques of this disclosure, when fibers are moved to adjacent racks, the fiber side is changed from its previous configuration, when such change is possible without routing across a fiber manager. This can involve moving super fibers to a spine-facing port area during cross-rack transitions in physical conversion. During subsequent logical conversion, super fibers originally in the spine-facing port area may use spine-facing ports, and fibers originally in the super-facing port area may use super-facing ports. Techniques described herein directly address …
