Abstract

Methods, systems, apparatus, and tangible non-transitory carrier media encoded with one or more computer programs for classifying an input text block into a sequence of one or more classes in a multi-level hierarchical classification taxonomy. In accordance with particular embodiments, a source sequence of inputs corresponding to the input text block is processed, one at a time per time step, with an encoder recurrent neural network (RNN) to generate a respective encoder hidden state for each input, and the respective encoder hidden states are processed, one at a time per time step, with a decoder RNN to produce a sequence of outputs representing a directed classification path in a multi-level hierarchical classification taxonomy for the input text block.

An example apparatus includes at least one memory; machine readable instructions; and processor circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to: generate feature embeddings for text segments detected in a document image, the segments associated with respective bounding boxes, wherein the segments are to be represented by nodes in a graph; identify candidate edges between ones of the segments; pass the feature embeddings through graph attention layers (GAT) to update the feature embeddings with information from neighbor nodes; generate an adjacency matrix for the document image by determining confidence scores for the edges; and cluster the nodes based on the adjacency matrix to group ones of the nodes that belong to a same line.

Abstract

Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to regress independent and dependent variable data. An example apparatus to generate movement values for a regression model includes at least one memory, machine readable instructions, and processor circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to calculate period average sales values for ones of stores associated with (a) a store group of interest, (b) a category of interest and (c) ones of periods of interest, the period average sales values based on a number of the ones of the stores. The example processor circuitry also at least one of instantiates or executes the machine readable instructions to calculate period average stock values for the ones of the stores associated with (a) the store group of interest, (b) the category of interest and (c) the ones of the periods of interest, the period average stock values based on the number of ones of the stores, calculate overall average sales values based on the period average sales values corresponding to all of the ones of the periods of interest, calculate overall average stock values based on the period average stock values corresponding to all of the ones of the periods of interest, and prevent random effects corresponding to stock input data used in the regression model by calculating sales movement values based on a difference between the period average sales values and the overall sales values, and calculating stock movement values based on a difference between the period average stock values and the overall average stock values.

Abstract

Examples methods, apparatus/systems and articles of manufacture for auditing point-of-sale images are disclosed herein. Example methods disclosed herein include comparing a region of interest of an image displayed via a user interface with a plurality of reference product images stored in a database to identify a plurality of candidate product images from the plurality of reference product images as potential matches to a first product depicted in the image. For example, the candidate product images are associated with respective confidence levels indicating respective likelihoods of matching the first product. Disclosed example methods also include displaying, via the user interface, the candidate product images simultaneously with the image in a manner based on the respective confidence levels, and automatically selecting a first one of the candidate product images as matching the first product based on the respective confidence levels.

Abstract

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to monitor auditing devices. An example apparatus includes a workload analyzer to obtain alert data related to a potential new product from an auditing device, and a product analyzer to identify a product within the alert data to determine if the product has been previously identified by another auditing device. In response to determining that the product has not been previously identified, the example apparatus includes an alert analyzer to cluster the alert data based on characteristics associated with an auditor profile of the auditing device, and determine a probability of transmitting the alert data to other auditing devices based on the clustered alert data. The example apparatus also includes an alert authorizer to suppress the alert data from being transmitted to the other auditing devices to reduce an amount of network resources required for subsequent processing when the probability does not satisfy a threshold.

Abstract

Systems and methods for measuring biologically and behaviorally based responses to social media, locations, or experiences and providing instant and continuous feedback in response thereto are disclosed. An example system includes a first sensor to determine an emotional response of a user exposed to a social media application, a second sensor to determine a current activity of the user, and a third sensor to determine an environment of the user. The example system also establishes a priority schedule based on the emotional response, the current activity, and the environment. The system also correlates, based on the priority schedule, an advertisement with at least one of the emotional response, activity, or the environment. In addition, the example system presents the advertisement based on the priority schedule and the correlation of the advertisement with the at least one of the activity, the environment, or the emotional response.

Abstract

Example image processing methods, apparatus/systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes an image recognition application to identify matches between stored patterns and objects detected in a shelf image, where the shelf image has a shelf image scale estimate. The example apparatus further includes a scale corrector to calculate deviation values between sizes of (A) a first set of the objects detected in the shelf image and (B) a first set of the stored patterns matched with the first set of the objects and reduce an error of the shelf image scale estimate by calculating a scale correction value for the shelf image scale estimate based on the deviation values.
