High-stakes texts such as patent claims, medical records, and technical reports are structurally complex and demand a high degree of reliability and precision. While large language models (LLMs) have recently been applied to automate their generation in high-stakes domains, reliably evaluating such outputs remains a major challenge. Conventional natural language generation (NLG) metrics are effective for generic documents but fail to capture the structural and legal characteristics essential to evaluating complex high-stakes documents. To address this gap, we propose PatentScore, a multi-dimensional evaluation framework specifically designed for one of the most intricate and rigorous domains, patent claims. PatentScore integrates hierarchical decomposition of claim elements, validation patterns grounded in legal and technical standards, and scoring across structural, semantic, and legal dimensions. In experiments on our dataset which consists of 400 Claim1, PatentScore achieved the highest correlation with expert annotations ($r = 0.819$), significantly outperforming widely used NLG metrics. This work establishes a new standard for evaluating LLM-generated patent claims, providing a solid foundation for research on patent generation and validation.

New cars today almost always have a central display with a backup camera and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. You don't have to get a new car to enjoy that hands-free convenience, though. Instead, you can get the 6.8″ Foldable Touchscreen Car Display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Support for a fraction of the price. This foldable touchscreen display is compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto so you can connect quickly and access your apps hands-free. You can use Google Assistant or Siri to make calls, navigate, do more hands-free, and stay safer while driving.

Even as the U.S. Army attempts to integrate cutting edge technologies into its operations, many of its platforms remain fundamentally in the 20th century. The way tank crews operate their machine has gone essentially unchanged over the last 40 years. At a time when the military is enamored with robotics, artificial intelligence and next generation networks, operating a tank relies entirely on manual inputs from highly trained operators. "Currently, tank crews use a very manual process to detect, identify and engage targets," explained Abrams Master Gunner Sgt. "Tank commanders and gunners are manually slewing, trying to detect targets using their sensors. Once they come across a target they have to manually select the ammunition that they're going to use to service that target, lase the target to get an accurate range to it, and a few other factors."

Faces are far from the only thing artificial intelligence researchers want computers to recognize. One Japanese tech company has created an AI-powered camera system, called BakeryScan, that is able to recognize different types of breads and pastries. Developed by Japanese tech and media firm Brain Co., the scanning tools are currently installed in more than 400 retail locations across Japan. One of the technology's biggest clients is the Andersen Group, a chain of high-end Danish-inspired bakeries that operate across Japan, according to a report from The Asahi Shimbun. BakeryScan works through a camera that's mounted above a backlit checkout tray.

Amazon and Google are both leading the charge in the smart home speaker market, with Apple expected to follow suit. Now, it looks like Facebook will also be joining those companies with its own device called Portal. Portal is said to be a direct competitor to the Amazon Echo Show. The upcoming Facebook device will allow users to control it through voice commands, and it is designed to work indoors. It will also come equipped with a camera with wide-angle lens and will be able to recognize people's faces and link them directly to their Facebook account, according to an exclusive report from Cheddar. The major difference between the Echo Show and the Facebook Portal is that the latter is designed to connect families and friends.

A new startup is making a Google Assistant-powered touchscreen that functions as a smart home hub. Called Lynky, the new device functions like a Google Home speaker with its own touchscreen display and it will be able to control users' smart home device. Lynky can sit on top of a desk powered by a USB cable or can be mounted on a wall. Lynky is powered by Google Assistant, the very same digital assistant that's on the Google Home smart speakers and on Android smartphones. Users will be able to give out voice commands and use Lynky to search the web and play music, just like the Google Home.

A new report claims Facebook is planning to release a smart speaker in 2018. Amazon's Alexa-powered Echo Show does feature a touchscreen display, but that only measures 7 inches. Richardson also worked for Amazon's Lab126 as its principal technical manager, and is believed to have worked on Amazon's Echo smart speakers. Research firm Strategy Analytics reported that worldwide smart speaker shipments reached 5.9 million back in 2016, 4.2 million of those were shipped during the fourth quarter of the year.

IN JUNE 1967, 200 exhibitors and 17,500 attendees packed into the Hilton and Americana hotels in New York for the very first Consumer Electronics Show. From that moment, the expo has been responsible for unveiling some of the most impressive products for the time including the VCR (1970), Camcorders (1981) the Nintendo Entertainment System (1985), HDTV (1998) and 3D TVs (2010). Now, in its 50th year, the world's largest consumer technology show boasts more than 3800 companies and attracts over 200,000 visitors. After a week of gazing into the future of our home, work and play, news.com.au has picked some of the latest and greatest innovations and trends. As expected, TVs were big business with LG's Signature 4K OLED W series the talk of the showroom floor.

On Monday, GoPro founder and CEO Nick Woodman officially unveiled the Hero5 Black and Hero5 Session, both of which are capable of 4K video recording. The Hero5 Black takes all of the Hero4 Black's best features while adding a rear display and voice control functionality. The GoPro Hero5 Black retains its simple and user-friendly design with its updated look. One of the biggest gripes about the GoPro Hero4 Black was its lack of a rear display despite being the flagship model. The mid-range Hero4 Silver had a screen, so its absence on the Hero4 Black was just mind-boggling.
