  • Patent number: 11966413
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a first deep fusion reasoning engine (DFRE) agent in a network receives first sensor data from a first set of one or more sensors in the network. The first DFRE agent translates the first sensor data into symbolic data. The first DFRE agent applies, using a symbolic knowledge base maintained by the first DFRE agent, symbolic reasoning to the symbolic data to make an inference regarding the first sensor data. The first DFRE agent updates, based on the inference regarding the first sensor data, the knowledge base. The first DFRE agent propagates the inference to one or more other DFRE agents in the network.

  • Patent number: 11954140
    Abstract: By formulizing a specific company's internal knowledge and terminology, the ontology programming accounts for linguistic meaning to surface relevant and important content for analysis. The ontology is built on the premise that meaningful terms are detected in the corpus and then classified according to specific semantic concepts, or entities. Once the main terms are defined, direct relations or linkages can be formed between these terms and their associated entities. Then, the relations are grouped into themes, which are groups or abstracts that contain synonymous relations. The disclosed ontology programming adapts to the language used in a specific domain, including linguistic patterns and properties, such as word order, relationships between terms, and syntactical variations. The ontology programming automatically trains itself to understand the domain or environment of the communication data by processing and analyzing a defined corpus of communication data.

  • Patent number: 11941493
    Abstract: A method optimizes a training of a machine learning system. A conflict detection system discovers a conflict between a first training data and a second training data for a machine learning system, where the first training data and the second training data are ground truths that describe a same type of entity, and where the first training data and the second training data have different labels. In response to discovering the conflict between the first training data and the second training data for the machine learning system, an oracle adjusts the different labels of the first training data and the second training data. The machine learning system is then trained using the first training data and the second training data with the adjusted labels.

  • Patent number: 11823063
    Abstract: Individual distributed processing nodes packetize distributed data for each weight of a neural network of a learning object in an order of a number of the weight, transmit the distributed data to an aggregation processing node, acquire aggregation data transmitted from the node in order, and update the weight of the neural network. The node acquires the transmitted distributed data, packetizes the aggregation data for which the distributed data of all the distributed processing nodes is aggregated for each weight, and transmits the aggregation data to the individual nodes. The individual nodes monitor an unreceived data amount which is a difference between data amounts of the transmitted distributed data and the acquired aggregation data, and when the unreceived data amount becomes equal to or larger than a threshold Ma, stops transmission of the distributed data until the unreceived data amount becomes equal to or smaller than a threshold Mb (Mb<Ma).
