  • Publication number: 20240119252
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for enhancing silent features with adversarial networks for improved model versions. Input features are obtained. Hidden features are identified. Quantum feature importance scoring is performed to assign an importance score to each of the hidden features. Silent features are identified as the hidden features with the importance score below a first threshold. Important features are identified as the input features and as the hidden features with the importance score above a second threshold. A silent feature model is built using the silent features. An important feature model is built using the important features. An ensemble model is built with the silent feature model and the important feature model. The ensemble model is used to generate one or more predictions and one or more prescriptions.

  • Publication number: 20240086729
    Abstract: Described are techniques for a trustworthy artificial intelligence (AI) service. The techniques include identifying a user experience (UX) component in a front-end UX containing information that conveys a trustworthy AI factor. The techniques further include evaluating the information contained in the UX component to determine a trust score for the UX component that indicates a degree to which the information contained in the UX component conveys the trustworthy AI factor. The techniques further include determining, based on the trust score for the UX component, that the information contained in the UX component does not meet a threshold of disclosure of the trustworthy AI factor. The techniques further include obtaining an alternative UX component containing additional information that meets the threshold of disclosure of the trustworthy AI factor and providing the alternative UX component for incorporation into the front-end UX of the application.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes generating several crypto tokens, each token includes a content portion that is encrypted. For each pair of tokens, a first token and a second token, in response to a correlation score between content portions of the first token and the second token exceeding a predetermined correlation threshold, creating a grid link between the first token and the second token. The tokens are added into a ledger. A group of tokens is created, based on a similarity score. A series of forecasting equations is distributed to the group of tokens. A forecast reveal rate is generated based on the series of forecasting equations, and in response to the forecast reveal rate meeting a forecast threshold, a key is generated for revealing at least one content portions embedded in the group of tokens. The key is released to decrypt the at least one content portion.

  • Patent number: 11874844
    Abstract: From a set of natural language text documents, a concept tree is constructed. For a node in the concept tree a polarity of the subset represented by the node is scored. A second set of natural language text documents is added to the subset, the adding resulting in a modified subset of natural language text documents having a polarity score within a predefined neutral polarity score range. From the modified subset, a bin of sentences is selected according to a sentence selection parameter, a sentence in the bin of sentences being extracted from a selected document in the modified subset. A sentence having a factuality score below a threshold factuality score is removed from the bin of sentences. From the filtered bin of sentences a new natural language text document corresponding to the filtered bin of sentences is generated using a transformer deep learning narration generation model.
