  • Patent number: 11355121
    Abstract: The description relates to systems and methods for extending applications. For example, a voice assistant application can be the application to be extended. In an example, a mobile banking application can be the application that provides the extension. For example, a voice assistant might not have capability to conduct fingerprint (or biometric) authentication and bill payment function. An extension point within the voice assistant application that would enable this kind of capability might not exist. The mobile banking application can have a biometric tool for fingerprint authentication capability and a payment tool for a bill payment or money transfer function. Embodiments described herein can involve a deep link from the voice assistant application to the mobile banking application (which does offer fingerprint authentication and bill payment capability). The navigation to the mobile banking application can generate a visual impression at the UI similar or consistent with the voice assistant application.

  • Patent number: 11295078
    Abstract: A portfolio analytics platform can implement a crawler and natural language processor to identify relevant articles. The natural language processor can integrate a text analysis tool, domain specific latent Dirichlet allocation tool, and theme measurement tool for identifying themes relevant to a particular domain. For example, the domain specific latent Dirichlet allocation tool identifies domain specific themes and uses an iterative process for eliminating articles or themes that are not specific to the domain. The theme measurement tool uses term frequency-inverse document frequency for naming and identifying the most relevant themes. The platform can generate interactive visual elements for an interface application.

  • Patent number: 11270072
    Abstract: Systems and methods of automatically generating a coherence score for text data is provided. The approach includes receiving a plurality of string tokens representing decomposed portions of the target text data object. A trained neural network is provided that has been trained against a plurality of corpuses of training text across a plurality of topics. The string tokens are arranged to extract string tokens representing adjacent sentence pairs of the target text data object. For each adjacent sentence pair, the neural network generates a local coherence score representing a coherence level of the adjacent sentence pair of the target text data object, which are then aggregated for each adjacent sentence pair of the target text data object to generate a global coherence score for the target text data object.

  • Patent number: 11244202
    Abstract: A computer implemented system for generating one or more data structures is described, the one or more data structures representing an unseen composition based on a first category and a second category observed individually in a training data set. During training of a generator, a proposed framework utilizes at least one of the following discriminators—three pixel-centric discriminators, namely, frame discriminator, gradient discriminator, video discriminator; and one object-centric relational discriminator. The three pixel-centric discriminators ensure spatial and temporal consistency across the frames, and the relational discriminator leverages spatio-temporal scene graphs to reason over the object layouts in videos ensuring the right interactions among objects.

  • Patent number: 11212299
    Abstract: A cybersecurity platform is described that processes collected data using a data model to identify and link anomalies and in order to identify generate security events and intrusions. The platform generates graph data structures using the security anomalies extended using additional data. The graph data structures represent links between nodes, the links being events, the nodes being machines and user accounts. The platform processes the graph data structures by combining similar nodes or grouping security events with common features to behaviour indicative of a single or multiple security events to identify chains of events which together represent an attack.
