Training data that is used for a machine-learning mo del is generally in the same domain as the problem that the machinelearning mod el is solving. For example, a machine-learning model that generates search resul ts generally must be trained based on search logs that describe how users have i nteracted with search results in the past. However, when a model is used to gene rate output for a new vertical of an online system, the model generally struggle s to generate optimal output because of a lack of training data. For example, a machinelearning model that is trained to provide content suggestions alongside search results that are responsive to a search query may have less training data than the model that provides search results because users may be more inclined to interact with search results than content suggestions. Thus, a content sugges tion model may be less well trained than a machine-learning model presenting sea rch results.

When possible, minimally invasive procedu res such as laparoscopy are preferred. “However, known minimally invasive technologies such as laparoscopy are limited in scope and complexity due in part to 1) mobility restrictions resulting from u sing rigid tools inserted through access ports, and 2) limited visual feedback. Known robotic systems such as the da Vinci®Surgical System (available from Intu itive Surgical, Inc., located in Sunnyvale, CA) are also restricted by the acces s ports, as well as having the additional disadvantages of being very large, ver y expensive, unavailable in most hospitals, and having limited sensory and mobil ity capabilities.

In particular, cryptocurrencie s have grown in popularity over the last two years as various coins and tokens h ave exploded in value. While cryptocurrencies seem to have entered finance’s col lective conscience, institutional investor confidence in the ecosystem has remai ned lukewarm. Financial service providers may therefore wish to deliver to their clients a sense of confidence when navigating this emergent space.”

For example, while pay ment processors seek to provide merchants with an easy and efficient mechanism f or collecting payments from customers, collecting such payments may present diff iculties for various reasons. One such difficulty involves payments that do not process for some reason. For example, a recurring credit card charge may be atte mpted to be billed on a particular day and time each month, but it may turn out that the processing of the payment may be rejected because, for example, the use r has an insufficient credit limit left on the card, or the card has expired, or the credit card company’s fraud protection has denied the charge. It can be dif ficult to determine whether these rejections or other non-completions of the pay ments are due to temporary reasons (whether the above examples or even just tech nical difficulties in the communications during the processing) or permanent rea sons.

Moreover, the recent surge in popularity of electric vehi cles and other electronic devices has resulted in a significant increase in dema nd for battery production, as well as an increased demand for safe and efficient recycling or disposal of batteries and battery materials.

As also recognized herein, such a lens has a narrow field of view, meaning that peripheral vision is lost when looking through the lens. Further, present principles recognize that the relativ ely large weight of such a lens coupled with a large aperture and narrow focus p lane can complicate aiming the lens at the target subject, such as a flying bird . Even if the subject is within the frame, the photographer might not realize if the subject is in focus.”
查看更多>>摘要:The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied by the inventors: “When a machine learning model is used in a task to draw an inference or make a prediction based on input data, the machine lear ning model will typically also output a confidence score that serves as a relati ve qualification as to how confident the machine learning model is in the infere nce or prediction. For example, a confidence score can be modeled as a decimal n umber between 0 and 1, or a percentage between 0% and 100% . A confidence score approaching 1 (100%) indicates that the machin e learning model is strongly confident in its prediction, while a confidence sco re approaching 0 (0%) indicates that the machine learning model has little confidence in its prediction. A software application can then consider w hether or not to use the prediction from the machine learning model from the con fidence score, for example based on whether the confidence score at least meets a confidence threshold value.”

Suc h delicate crops with high unit prices are harvested manually one by one to prev ent damage caused to the crops at the time of harvest. Therefore, harvesting, e. g., fruits and green and yellow vegetables, places a large physical burden on a producer, as compared with, e.g., grain that can be harvested efficiently on a l arge scale by using harvesting machines such as combine harvesters. The physical ly demanding harvesting operation involves difficulty in securing labor force. T he harvesting operation, therefore, tends to place an increased burden on a prod ucer. Thus, crop harvesting systems using a multi-joint robot arm are known.
