  • Patent number: 11941519
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to training a machine learning model on a distributed computing system. The model can be trained using selected processors of the training platform. The distributed system automatically modifies the model for instantiation on each processor, adjusts an input pipeline to accommodate the capabilities of selected processors, and coordinates the training between those processors. Simultaneous processing at each stage can be scaled to reduce or eliminate bottlenecks in the distributed system. In addition, autonomous monitoring and re-allocating of resources can further reduce or eliminate bottlenecks. The training results may be aggregated by the distributed system, and a final model may then be transmitted to a user device.

  • Patent number: 11900215
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for constructing and programming quantum hardware for machine learning processes. A Quantum Statistic Machine (QSM) is described, consisting of three distinct classes of strongly interacting degrees of freedom including visible, hidden and control quantum subspaces or subsystems. The QSM is defined with a programmable non-equilibrium ergodic open quantum Markov chain with a unique attracting steady state in the space of density operators. The solution of an information processing task, such as a statistical inference or optimization task, can be encoded into the quantum statistics of an attracting steady state, where quantum inference is performed by minimizing the energy of a real or fictitious quantum Hamiltonian. The couplings of the QSM between the visible and hidden nodes may be trained to solve hard optimization or inference tasks.

  • Patent number: 11868913
    Abstract: System, apparatus and method may permit users to collaboratively engage in inference on a computer and visualize structure of that inference, and provide a formal verification system for informal argumentation and inference. The system and method may generate and allow for modification of graphical structures that represent sequences of structured rational argumentation; and automatically monitor, compute and represent ratings or scores of nodes within the structure; indicate whether a node is supported by a chain of argumentation that has not been validly rebutted. The graphical structures may be displayed to bring into focus contentious and significant underlying points within an argument, and simulate the effects of alternative resolutions of these contentious points. The graphical displays may provide a transparent verification to other users of the state of what can be demonstrated and refuted, allow discovery of weak or missing points in a logical argument, and allow rational inference by users.

  • Patent number: 11847573
    Abstract: A system coordinates services between users and providers. The system trains a computer model to predict a user state of a user using data about past services. The prediction is based on data associated with a request submitted by a user. Request data can include current data about the user's behavior and information about the service that is independent of the particular user behavior or characteristics. The user behavior may be compared against the user's prior behavior to determine differences in the user behavior for this request and normal behavior of prior requests. The system can alter the parameters of a service based on the prediction about the state of the user requesting the service.

  • Patent number: 11842253
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media related to: training an encoder model that can be utilized to determine semantic similarity of a natural language textual string to each of one or more additional natural language textual strings (directly and/or indirectly); and/or using a trained encoder model to determine one or more responsive actions to perform in response to a natural language query. The encoder model is a machine learning model, such as a neural network model. In some implementations of training the encoder model, the encoder model is trained as part of a larger network architecture trained based on one or more tasks that are distinct from a “semantic textual similarity” task for which the encoder model can be used.

  • Patent number: 11829892
    Abstract: Techniques for detecting and correcting anomalies in computer-based reasoning systems are provided herein. The techniques can include obtaining current context data and determining a contextually-determined action based on the obtained context data and a reasoning model. The reasoning model may have been determined based on one or more sets of training data. The techniques may cause performance of the contextually-determined action and, potentially, receiving an indication that performing the contextually-determined action in the current context resulted in an anomaly. The techniques include determining a portion of the reasoning model that caused the determination of the contextually-determined action based on the obtained context data and causing removal of the portion of the model that caused the determination of the contextually-determined action, to produce a corrected reasoning model.
