Patent number: 10516763Abstract: A web-based hierarchical temporal memory (HTM) system in which one or more client devices communicate with a remote server via a communication network. The remote server includes at least a HTM server for implementing a hierarchical temporal memory (HTM). The client devices generate input data including patterns and sequences, and send the input data to the remote server for processing. The remote server (specifically, the HTM server) performs processing in order to determine the causes of the input data, and sends the results of this processing to the client devices. The client devices need not have processing and/or storage capability for running the HTM but may nevertheless take advantage of the HTM by submitting a request to the HTM server.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2017Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: NUMENTA, INC.Inventors: Jeffrey L. Edwards, William C. Saphir, Subutai Ahmad, Dileep George, Frank Astier, Ronald Marianetti

Patent number: 10474962Abstract: Semantic entity relation detection classifier training implementations are presented that are generally used to train a semantic entity relation detection classifier to identify relations expressed in a natural language query. In one general implementation, queries are found in a search query click log that exhibit relations and entity types found in a semantic knowledge graph.

Patent number: 10467676Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems and methods for the filtering, selection and presentation of vendors accounting for both user characteristics and vendor characteristics, such that the systems and methods may be used by both customer and vendor alike to better match customer needs with the resource-constrained vendors with whom a successful sale has a higher probability of occurring. Embodiments may include filtering, selecting and/or presenting vendors to a user sorted by the probability that the particular vendor will possess the characteristics that appeal to a particular customer and therefore result in a large probability of sale and suppress presentation of those vendors that are unlikely to be selected by the customer since their characteristics are less consistent with those needed by the customer and, therefore, are unlikely to result in a sale.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2015Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: TrueCar, Inc.Inventors: Jason McBride, Thomas J.

Patent number: 10452989Abstract: The Quanton virtual machine approximates solutions to NP-Hard problems in factorial spaces in polynomial time. The data representation and methods emulate quantum computing on classical hardware but also implement quantum computing if run on quantum hardware. The Quanton uses permutations indexed by Lehmer codes and permutation-operators to represent quantum gates and operations. A generating function embeds the indexes into a geometric object for efficient compressed representation. A nonlinear directional probability distribution is embedded to the manifold and at the tangent space to each index point is also a linear probability distribution. Simple vector operations on the distributions correspond to quantum gate operations. The Quanton provides features of quantum computing: superpositioning, quantization and entanglement surrogates. Populations of Quantons are evolved as local evolving gate operations solving problems or as solution candidates in an Estimation of Distribution algorithm.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2016Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: KYNDI, INC.Inventor: Arun Majumdar
