  • Publication number: 20230334241
    Abstract: Learning and correcting errors in text input fields to an artificial intelligence (AI) system includes receiving, by the AI system from a target system, an input text. The AI system executes a text processing operation on the input text by applying at least one transformer from a library of transformers to the input text to generate transformed text. At least one proposed correction to the input text is output by the AI system based on an analysis of the transformed text. Feedback data, associated with the at least one proposed correction, is then received from a user of the target system to iteratively learn, by the AI system, which of the transformers need be applied on future input text to accurately generate future proposed corrections on the future input text.

  • Publication number: 20230281298
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product to defend learning models that are vulnerable to adversarial example attack. It is assumed that data (a “dataset”) is available in multiple modalities (e.g., text and images, audio and images in video, etc.). The defense approach herein is premised on the recognition that the correlations between the different modalities for the same entity can be exploited to defend against such attacks, as it is not realistic for an adversary to attack multiple modalities. To this end, according to this technique, adversarial samples are identified and rejected if the features from one (the attacked) modality are determined to be sufficiently far away from those of another un-attacked modality for the same entity. In other words, the approach herein leverages the consistency between multiple modalities in the data to defend against adversarial attacks on one modality.

  • Publication number: 20230266729
    Abstract: An embodiment includes retrofitting an existing control device with an automation panel that senses manual actuation of a control element of the control device, and automatically actuates the control element in response to a specified control signal. The embodiment collects state data indicative of an actuation state of the control element and context data of conditions at a time that the state data is collected, and generates a training dataset comprising collected state data and sensor data. It then uses this data to train a classification model to predict a control element actuation state based on sensor data. The embodiment deploys the trained classification model to process sensor data and upon detecting a mismatch between a predicted actuation state output from the trained classification model and an actual actuation state of the control element, the embodiment transmits the specified control signal to the automation panel to actuate the control element.

    Abstract: An embodiment includes tokenizing an input passage into an n-gram sequence of tokens. The embodiment also includes evaluating the input passage using a trained classification model that generates an output indicative of a classification of the input passage. The embodiment also includes generating a first token vector for a first token of the sequence of tokens and projecting the first token vector to a higher dimensional space, resulting in a first projected token vector. The embodiment also includes generating a first similarity score for the first projected token vector based on comparisons of the first projected token vector to each of a plurality of class representations. The embodiment also includes generating a ranked list of the tokens, wherein the generating of the ranked list includes ranking the first token among others of the tokens based on the first similarity score.

  • Publication number: 20230236922
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a computer platform to support processing of informational logs and corresponding performance data to detect and mitigate occurrence of anomalous behavior. Metrics are extracted from the informational logs and correlated with performance data, and in an exemplary embodiment golden signal metrics. A window or block of the logs is classified as potential candidates or indicators of anomalous behavior, which in an embodiment is indicative of potential failure or service outage. A control signal is dynamically issued to an operatively coupled device associated with the window or block of logs. The control signal is configured to selectively control a state of a physical device or process controlled by software, with the control directed at mitigating or eliminating the effect(s) of the anomalous behavior.

    Abstract: By analyzing a test case in a set of test cases, the test case is classified into a test type. Using a result of analyzing a test execution environment, a flake parameter is set, the flake parameter comprising an execution environment characteristic capable of causing an inconclusive result of execution of the test case. Responsive to determining that the test type maps to the flake parameter, the test case is removed from the set of test cases, the removing resulting in a filtered set of test cases, the determining performed using a predefined set of mappings. The filtered set of test cases is executed in the test execution environment.

    Abstract: From a first set of natural language documents describing a demand for a movable physical item, a set of demand features is extracted. From a second set of natural language documents describing a supply of the movable physical item, a set of supply features is extracted. A correlation quantifying a relationship between the set of demand features and the set of supply features is computed. Using the correlation and the correlation trend, an attraction between the set of demand features and the set of supply features is modeled as a gravitational force. Using a routing determined according to the attraction, the movable physical item is caused to be transported.

  • Publication number: 20230229707
    Abstract: An embodiment includes analyzing a first digital image using a first trained neural network that classifies the first image as having a first context based on a plurality of characteristics of the first image. The embodiment generates a data structure that associates first and second elements depicted in the first image based on an affinity detected between the first and second elements in the first context. The embodiment executes a querying process that searches for information requested by a user, and detects that a search result from the querying process conveys a second context that is different from the first context. The embodiment identifies a third element in the data structure having an affinity with the first element in the second context. The embodiment renders a machine-generated image that is generated using a second trained neural network and depicts the first element and the third element in the second context.

  • Publication number: 20230222150
    Abstract: An embodiment includes executing a querying process that returns database documents containing text associated with a database environment. The embodiment tokenizes the database documents into a series of n-gram tokens and groups the tokens into topic classes using natural language processing (NLP). The embodiment also generates a feature map by applying a convolution layer to an image that depicts a database structure graph of the database environment. The embodiment detects an architectural element in the image by applying a region proposal network (RPN) to the feature map and classifies the architectural element into one of the plurality of topic classes using a trained neural network. The embodiment renders, responsive to a user selection of the architectural element, an overlay depicting information about the architectural element using text and other architectural elements that are in a same topic class as the user-selected architectural element.

    Abstract: An embodiment includes tokenizing a code segment generated by an integrated development environment responsive to user input, the tokenizing resulting in a tokenized code segment. The embodiment generates a search query by analyzing the tokenized code segment using a trained neural network. The embodiment executes a querying process that searches a knowledge base using the search query for a hardware requirement associated with the code segment, and detects a search result that conveys the hardware requirement as including a specialized hardware resource. The embodiment generates a time allotment associated with execution of the code segment using a second trained neural network that predicts the time allotment based on the tokenized code segment. The embodiment issues an instruction associated with the code segment to a hardware scheduler causing the hardware scheduler to allocate the specialized hardware resource for an amount of time corresponding to the time allotment.
