Structured Data from Multiple Scanned Forms

The present disclosure describes systems and methods that provide to obtain structured data from multiple scanned forms, scanned reports, and/or other scanned documents. More particularly, the systems and methods of the present disclosure allow for providing, as input, multiple scanned document files based on some form, report, or other structured printout and receiving, as output, a combined schema with values for each input document and a structured data set comprising the extracted values for all the input documents

Identifying Outages In User-Facing Products Based On Search Statistics

A method is disclosed for identifying outages in user-facing products based on search statistics. The method includes collecting search queries related to a user-facing product from a search engine. The method further includes generating statistics based on the collected search queries. The statistics may indicate spikes based on the product and failure-related terms associated therewith. Based on the statistics, the spikes for searches related to outage of the product are identified. Further, on identifying the spikes, alerts may be issued to an appropriate technical team related to the outage

Interactive Tool for Researching Large Unstructured Document Collections

Reviewing large document collections is an activity that arises commonly in certain professional contexts such as investigative journalism. Such document collections can arise in many use contexts such as investigative journalism; academic research; litigation, arbitration or other legal context; audit; research using document archives; etc. The collections may include a large number of documents, including scanned images of documents or handwritten documents, and are often devoid of structure or organization. This makes it difficult to sift through such collections and identify important pieces of information. This disclosure describes a tool that enables easier access to such collections and features that support review and research based on such document collections. Automated techniques such as optical character recognition, entity recognition, indexing, etc. are utilized to process the document collection to index the documents and to generate timelines, connection graphs, or other views on the collection. A user interface is provided that enables users to search the collection, view event timelines, make annotations, take notes, and collaborate with others. The described techniques facilitate sensemaking and can help surface latent insight

The Lin28/let-7 axis regulates glucose metabolism

The let-7 tumor suppressor microRNAs are known for their regulation of oncogenes, while the RNA-binding proteins Lin28a/b promote malignancy by inhibiting let-7 biogenesis. We have uncovered unexpected roles for the Lin28/let-7 pathway in regulating-metabolism. When overexpressed in mice, both Lin28a and LIN28B promote an insulin-sensitized state that resists high-fat-diet induced diabetes. Conversely, muscle-specific loss of Lin28a or overexpression of let-7 results in insulin resistance and impaired glucose tolerance. These phenomena occur, in part, through the let-7-mediated repression of multiple components of the insulin-PI3K-mTOR pathway, including IGF1R, INSR, and IRS2. In addition, them TOR inhibitor, rapamycin, abrogates Lin28a-mediated insulin sensitivity and enhanced glucose uptake. Moreover, let-7 targets are enriched for genes containing SNPs associated with type 2 diabetes and control of fasting glucose in human genome-wide association studies. These data establish the Lin28/let-7 pathway as a central regulator of mammalian glucose metabolism
