  • Patent number: 11636682
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for embedding contextual information in an image or video frames. A generative adversarial network (GAN) is trained to provide contextual information to be embedded in an image or video frames, where the contextual information includes text, sound and/or video frames that provides context to the image or video frames. After training the GAN, an image or video frames are received to be embedded with contextual information if necessary. Features are then extracted from the received image/video frames. An image(s) or video frame(s) are identified in a database using the GAN associated with features with a similarity to the extracted features of the received image/video frames that exceeds a threshold value. Such identified images and/or video frames are associated with “references” containing contextual information which are extracted. The received image/video frames are then augmented with the extracted references to provide context.

  • Publication number: 20230085012
    Abstract: A computer captures a voice of a user. The computer determines a frequency spectrum and a voice pattern of the voice. The computer identifies one or more topics of the voice by transcribing the voice by a natural language processing. The computer identifies the user based on matching the frequency spectrum of the voice to the frequency spectrum of the conversation and the pattern of the voice to the pattern of the conversation when a conversation is intercepted and determines a trust score based on comparing the one or more topics to the one or more topics extracted from the conversation.

  • Publication number: 20230065684
    Abstract: Using a model executing on a classical processor, a set of classical features is scored. The scored set of classical features is divided into a set of feature groups, a number of classical features in a group determined according to a qubit capability of a quantum processor. Using a model executing on the quantum processor and a group of the scored set of classical features, a set of quantum features is scored. The score of a quantum feature is adjusted according to an accuracy of the quantum data model. The scored set of classical features and the scored set of quantum features are combined according to a measure of differences between the scored set of classical features and the scored set of quantum features. Using the combined set of scored features and a first set of input data of a resource, a valuation of a resource is calculated.

  • Publication number: 20230065129
    Abstract: An approach is provided in which the approach receives a request to upload a file at a server system that includes metadata encoded with a non-invertible key. The metadata includes contact information corresponding to an owner of the file. The approach establishes both a photon channel and a classical channel between the server system and a client system, which are both secured using one or more shared secret keys. The approach interfaces with the client system over the photon channel and the classical channel to decode the contact information at the server system, and sends an upload request from the server system to the owner of the file using the contact information. The approach authorizes the upload request at the server system in response to receiving an upload approval from the owner.

  • Publication number: 20230056003
    Abstract: Using a logistic regression classification model executing on a processor, a topic is classified into an interaction type in a set of predefined interaction types. A set of documents corresponding to the topic is extracted from a document repository. Using a generative adversarial model executing on a processor, a sentiment corresponding to a reaction to a previous presentation is scored, the scoring resulting in a scored sentiment. Using a trained attention layer model, the interaction type, the set of documents, and the scored sentiment are weighted, the weighting generating a weighted interaction type, a weighted set of documents, and a weighted scored sentiment. Using a natural language generation transformer model executing on the processor, a document in the weighted set of documents is weighted according to the weighted interaction type and the weighted scored sentiment.
