Patent number: 11856133Abstract: User profile data of a caller and time-stamped event data from one or more data sources are received. An incoming call initiated by a caller device of the caller is detected, and device data associated with the caller device that includes a geolocation is received. In response to an initiation of the incoming call, an inference framework is applied to infer a situational context of the caller based on an analysis of the time-stamped event data, the user profile data of the caller, and the device data. The contextual information for the situational context of the caller is sent to the recipient device for presentation via the recipient device. Feedback of a call recipient is received from the recipient device following the presentation. Accordingly, one or more inference rules of the inference framework are modified via a machine-learning algorithm to generate a modified inference framework based on the feedback.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2020Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventor: Parag Garg

Patent number: 11775800Abstract: Training neural networks to recognize matching items requires large data sets and long training times. Conversely, training a neural network with triplets of similar objects instead of triplets of identical objects relaxes constraints on the size and content of the data set, making training easier. Moreover, the notion of “similarity” can be almost arbitrary, making it possible to train the neural network to associate objects that aren't visually similar. For instance, the neural network can be trained to associate a suit with a tie, which is not possible with training on identical objects. And because the neural network is trained to recognize similar items, it can also recognize unfamiliar items if they are similar enough to the training data. This is a technical improvement over other neural networks, which can only recognize identical items, and over collaborative filtering systems, which can only recognize items for which they have enough data.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2019Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Painted Dog, Inc.Inventors: Ken Aizawa, Jared Max Browarnik
