Relevance Determination For Multimedia Posts Using A Multimodal Ranker, Saswati Ray, Huy Thong Nguyen

Defensive Publications Series

Many online platforms permit various entities to post multimedia content, e.g., text together with visual content. For example, merchants in online stores, digital maps, etc. can add merchant posts to their account to highlight their merchandise and special offers. Matching text queries provided by users against only the text portion of the multimedia content fails to take into account the visual portion (image) of the merchant post. This disclosure describes the use of dual encoders that allow matching user query embeddings against embeddings obtained from textual content and embeddings obtained from the visual content of the same multimedia post to …

Automatic Detection Of Qr Code Scan Failures And Suggesting Mitigating Actions, Ramprasad Sedouram, Rahul Mullick

Defensive Publications Series

Quick response (QR) codes are used to enable users to initiate digital action such as payment, visiting an online information source such as a menu, etc. by scanning a printed or displayed code by a device camera. Scan failures or lack of network connectivity can result in failures in such actions, potentially leading to lost revenue for merchants that use QR codes. This disclosure describes techniques, implemented with user permission, that perform image analysis to detect QR code scan failures and/or network failures that cause digital actions to fail. A root cause of the failure, such as damaged or poorly …

Generating Text Description For A Photo Story Using A Visual Language Model, D Shin

Defensive Publications Series

Automatically curated photo stories generated by a photo library application are popular. However, such stories currently do not include audio or text to enhance the story. This disclosure describes the use of a visual language model (VLM) (multimodal model) to generate text and/or audio description that provides the context of photographs included in photo stories. The VLM is provided with a system-generated prompt to generate text for a story that finds semantic consistency across a set of selected photographs. The selected photographs are processed by a vision tokenizer and the resulting tokens are fed into the VLM context window. A …

Method For Approximate Content Discovery, Philippe Ombredanne

Defensive Publications Series

Efficient approximate digital content discovery and identification at scale is an important and complex topic.

This proposed method for matching approximate digital content and text fragments consists of these three elements:

1. Content-defined chunking algorithm to split content into fragments and select a subset of these fragments

2. Fingerprinting fragments with a locality sensitive hashing (LSH) function for approximate matching of these fragments. This fingerprint can embedmultiple precision in a single bit string to tune the search precision and organize the search in rounds of progressively increasing precision.

3. Indexing-time approximate matching for deduplication where each new content fragment is …

Food Safety, Livestock Health, And Productivity Of A Layer Farm Following Implementation Of A Certified Haccp System In Japan, Hiroshi Akaike, Makoto Nagai, Tomomitsu Alexandre Okatani, Sumalee Boonmar, Yukio Morita

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

This study examined the safety and productivity of a layer farm over a 3-year period following the implementation of a farm Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system in 2019. The critical control point was “automatic egg collection” and no deviations from critical limits were observed, indicating the eggs were safe. In addition, the egg production rate increased and the feed conversion rate decreased. In contrast, the viability after the introduction of a farm HACCP system, in which the replenishment of new hens was discontinued after forced molting, showed an increasing trend. These results suggest that the HACCP system …

Tissue Proteomics Of Feline Mammary Carcinoma: Identification Of Potential Biomarkers Based On Metastatic Status And Histopathological Characteristics, Weejarin Paphussaro, Sittiruk Roytrakul, Narumon Phaonakrop, Sawanya Charoenlappanit, Anudep Rungsipipat, Theerawat Tharasanit, Gunnaporn Suriyaphol Assoc. Prof.

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Feline mammary carcinoma (FMC) is a prevalent and aggressive cancer with high metastatic potential. Few tissue biomarkers have been reported to help evaluate disease progression in FMC. This study aimed to analyze the tissue proteomic profiles of metastatic feline mammary carcinoma (mFMC) and non-metastatic FMC (NmFMC) across various histological grades (HGs) and histological types (HTs) using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Tissue samples were collected from 13 NmFMC, 26 mFMC and 13 healthy controls (CTRL). Samples were trypsinized and subjected to LC-MS/MS. Proteome results were analyzed based on the metastatic status, HGs and HTs of the samples. The findings revealed …

Holistic Correlation Measure For Enhanced Encapsulation Of Trait Heterogeneity And Discovery Of Co-Expression, Zachary Valleroy

Theses

Large-scale, high-dimensional data analyses can be computationally prohibitive due to combinatorial explosion of the search space for finding complex patterns; a viable alternative is network modeling for abstraction and quantifying intrinsic data associations. Prominent network analysis methods furnish frameworks for model synthesis and validation but rely on standard correlation measures impaired by semi-supervised biases, latent heterogeneity, and uneven discretization techniques. Here we investigate a holistic measure for encapsulating data heterogeneity for enhanced efficacy of revealing complex patterns through network analysis. Our unique correlation metric, K-medoids Utility for Duo Original Similarities (Kudos), exhaustively factors real-valued analyte data to compute …

MacDonald Franklin OSI Research Centre

Introduction: Mental health problems are prevalent among Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) personnel. Despite ongoing efforts to promote mental health help seeking, treatment non-completion remains an overlooked issue in military settings. This study sought to provide estimates of past-year mental health treatment discontinuation among active CAF personnel, common reasons for discontinuation, and factors associated with treatment non-completion. Methods: Data from a nationally representative, cross-sectional mental health survey of active CAF Regular Force (RegF; n = 6,696) and Reserve Force (ResF; n = 1,469) personnel were analyzed. Predictors of treatment non-completion were examined using a series of logistic regressions. Results: Among RegF …

Usability And Agreement Of The Swift-Activescreener Systematic Review Support Tool: Preliminary Evaluation For Use In Clinical Research, Jenny J.W. Liu, Natalie Ein, Julia Gervasio, Bethany Easterbrook, Maede S. Nouri, Anthony Nazarov, J. Don Richardson

MacDonald Franklin OSI Research Centre

Systematic reviews (SRs) employ standardized methodological processes for synthesizing empirical evidence to answer specific research questions. These processes include rigorous screening phases to determine eligibility of articles against strict inclusion and exclusion criteria. Despite these processes, SRs are a significant undertaking, and this type of research often necessitates extensive human resource requirements, especially when the scope of the review is large. Given the substantial resources and time commitment required, we investigated a way in which the screening process might be accelerated while maintaining high fidelity and adherence to SR processes. More recently, researchers have turned to artificial intelligence-based (AI) software …
