Systems, methods and aspects, and embodiments thereof relate to unsupervised or semi-supervised features learning using a quantum processor. To achieve unsupervised or semi-supervised features learning, the quantum processor is programmed to achieve Hierarchal Deep Learning (referred to as HDL) over one or more data sets. Systems and methods search for, parse, and detect maximally repeating patterns in one or more data sets or across data or data sets. Embodiments and aspects regard using sparse coding to detect maximally repeating patterns in or across data. Examples of sparse coding include L0 and L1 sparse coding. Some implementations may involve appending, incorporating or attaching labels to dictionary elements, or constituent elements of one or more dictionaries. There may be a logical association between label and the element labeled such that the process of unsupervised or semi-supervised feature learning spans both the elements and the incorporated, attached or appended label.

Techniques for accurately identifying duplications and deletions using depth vectors. A depth vector is generated for each of multiple clients based on a set of reads that is received and aligned to a reference data set. A transformation processing of the depth vectors is performed to produce multiple components. Each of the components is assigned an order based on the extent to which it accounts for cross-client differences in the depth vectors. Each of the components includes an intensity, multiple values, and multiple client weights. A subset of the components is identified based on the order. A sparse indicator and positional data for the sparse indicator can be determined from the components in the subset, and one or more clients can be identified as being associated with the components.

A computer-implemented method and corresponding system for processing sensor data associated with a vehicle is provided. The sensor data may be compressed or encoded with a dictionary according to sparse approximation theory, resulting in a sparse representation of the sensor data. Processing may further comprise detecting an event associated with the vehicle, wherein an event may be an accident recorded by sensors of the vehicle providing the sensor data. The detection of the event may be based on processing of the sparse representation of the sensor data alone without decoding the sparse representation. The detection of the event may further employ machine learning methods trained to the detection of an event from the sparse representation of the sensor data, or a combination of sparse representations of sensor data originating from a plurality of vehicles or sensors.

This document describes “Multi-domain Neighborhood Embedding and Weighting” (MNEW) for use in processing point cloud data, including sparsely populated data obtained from a lidar, a camera, a radar, or combination thereof MNEW is a process based on a dilation architecture that captures pointwise and global features of the point cloud data involving multi-scale local semantics adopted from a hierarchical encoder-decoder structure. Neighborhood information is embedded in both static geometric and dynamic feature domains. A geometric distance, feature similarity, and local sparsity can be computed and transformed into adaptive weighting factors that are reapplied to the point cloud data. This enables an automotive system to obtain outstanding performance with sparse and dense point cloud data. Processing point cloud data via the MNEW techniques promotes greater adoption of sensor-based autonomous driving and perception-based systems.

The text encoding module is configured to obtain a clinical-information vector from clinical information of the patient. The medication prediction module configured to apply a machine-learned medication-prediction algorithm to the clinical-information vector to select a subset of medications to prescribe to the patient. The machine-learned medication-prediction algorithm is designed with a diversity-promoting regularization model, and is configured to simultaneously consider correlations among different medications and dependencies between patient information and medications when selecting a subset of medications to prescribe to the patient.
