Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing data augmentation before the matching process. Missing pixels in datasets are identified and filled using generative models (GANs) to create augmented versions of the datasets. This preliminary completion of incomplete data structures improves the accuracy and reliability of subsequent matching operations between disparate datasets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism in the form of a pixel-level attention module and generative model that acts as a mediator between disparate datasets. This intermediary component generates supplemental pixel information and facilitates the matching process by bridging gaps between different data formats and structures, thereby improving identification accuracy.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by breaking down the complex task of matching disparate datasets into distinct processing stages: (1) identifying missing pixels in source and target datasets, (2) generating supplemental pixels using specialized generative models, (3) augmenting data structures with the generated pixels, and (4) performing the matching operation. This segmentation manages system complexity by organizing operations into modular, sequential steps.

AI summary

A method including using a set of machine learning models to identify a source dataset that matches a target dataset. The source and target datasets are received as a source and target image data structures. A set of multimodal convolutional layers of encoding networks are applied to the source and target image data structures to generate classes of data. Missing pixels that are missing in at least one of the source and target image data structures are identified. Supplemental pixels corresponding to the missing pixels are generated from text present in at least one of the source and target datasets. At least one of the source and target image data structures are augmented with the supplemental pixels to generate at least one enhanced image. The method also includes retraining, using an augmented data structure including the at least one enhanced image, the encoding and decoding networks.
