Patent number: 11947926Abstract: In an approach for discourse-level text optimization, a processor receives an initial text in a first language. A processor applies one or more operators to modify the initial text. A processor evaluates the modified text using a scoring function. A processor determines whether a score generated from the scoring function on the modified text is above a predefined threshold. In response to determining the score is above the predefined threshold, a processor outputs the modified text.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2020Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Akihiro Kishimoto, Beat Buesser, Bei Chen, Yufang Hou

Patent number: 11933619Abstract: In an approach for recommending a safe path for people to navigate an environment, a processor generates a contact graph for a user in a group of users in an area, based on a pre-defined distance measurement between the user and another user in a same timestamp during a pre-defined time period. A processor builds a profile for the user based on the contact graph, the profile including a probability model corresponding to the contact graph to estimate an infection probability for the user. A processor calculates an initial route for the user from a first location to a second location in the area. A processor analyzes an infection risk for the user based on the profile and other users within a pre-defined distance to the user in the initial route. A processor updates the initial route based on the analysis to minimize the risk to be infected.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Radu Marinescu, Akihiro Kishimoto

Patent number: 11705247Abstract: In an approach to predictive contact tracing, a computer receives a query associated with contact tracing of a person with an infection. A computer retrieves timestamped location data associated with the person over a period of time. Based on the retrieved data, a computer creates a contact graph associated with the person, where the contact graph depicts one or more other people that were in contact with the person over the period of time. A computer retrieves medical data associated with the person and the one or more other people that were in contact with the person over the period of time. Based on the retrieved data, a computer builds a probabilistic model. A computer runs the probabilistic model to provide a prediction of a probability of infection of the one or more other people over the period of time as a result of being in contact with the person.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2020Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Radu Marinescu, Akihiro Kishimoto
