  • Publication number: 20240155732
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating real-time location-based notifications are described. In some aspects, the system processes, using a first machine learning model, a real-time video stream to determine a measure of significance of an event depicted in the real-time video stream. The system determines whether the user was present at the event. Based on determining that the user was present at the event, the system processes a user profile for the user and the measure of significance of the event to determine whether to generate for the user a cryptographic token associated with the event. Based on determining to generate for the user the cryptographic token associated with the event, the system generates a notification to the user including information for accessing the cryptographic token for the user.

  • Patent number: 11975417
    Abstract: A tool for chamfering cleaved tips of optical fibers. The tool including conical bores of relatively smooth and hard material terminate at a cylindrical bore that is slightly larger than the fiber core maximum diameter and a fiber centering bore that is slightly larger than the fiber coating maximum diameter. The tool provided such that when a cleaved fiber tip is inserted into the centering bore the sharp edge falls upon the chamfering surface that, when rotated relative to the fiber, gently grinds the edge to the chamfer angle. Chamfering cannot occur on the core face due to the absence of tool surface at this dimension.

  • Publication number: 20240119303
    Abstract: In some aspects, a computing system may use a surrogate machine learning model to detect whether a production or other machine learning model has a tendency to generate different output depending on which subpopulation a particular sample belongs to. The surrogate machine learning model may be trained using features/outputs that are not included in the data used by the production model. For example, by using demographic information in lieu of the original labels of a dataset that was used to train a production model, a surrogate model may be used to detect whether the production model is able to discern one or more characteristics associated with but not present in a sample using other features of the dataset. Output of the surrogate machine learning model may be clustered to detect whether certain subpopulations are treated differently by the production model.

  • Publication number: 20240112052
    Abstract: In some aspects, a computing system may aggregating multiple counterfactual samples so that machine learning explanations can be generated for sub-populations. In addition, methods and systems described herein use machine learning and counterfactual samples to determine text to use in an explanation for a model's prediction. A computing system may also train machine learning models to not only determine whether a request to perform an action should be accepted, but also to generate output that is consistent with output generated by previous machine learning models. Further, a computing system may generate counterfactual samples based on user preferences. A computing system may obtain preferences and then apply a penalty or adjustment parameter such that when a counterfactual sample is created, the computing system is forced to change one or more features indicated by the preferences to create the counterfactual sample.

  • Publication number: 20240045941
    Abstract: In some implementations, a server may receive, from a user device, one or more credentials associated with a user. Accordingly, the server may transmit, to the user device, instructions for generating a user interface including a plurality of visual components based on authenticating the user with the one or more credentials. The server may detect, during a first interval, a lack of interaction with the user interface. Accordingly, the server may remove one of the plurality of visual components from the user interface based on the lack of interaction. Additionally, the server may detect, during a second interval, one or more interactions with the user interface and may update a similarity score associated with the user based on properties associated with the one or more interactions. Accordingly, the server may restore the visual component to the user interface based on the updated similarity score satisfying a similarity threshold.

  • Publication number: 20240037427
    Abstract: A computing system may generate a first set of importance metrics (e.g., scores or values) for a model. The importance metrics may be generated using an explainable artificial intelligence technique, and an individual importance metric may indicate how influential a corresponding feature is for a decision made by a model. The computing system may determine an important feature and create a modified dataset by removing the important feature from the dataset. The computing system may train the model on the modified dataset and evaluate the performance of the model to determine the effect of removing the feature (e.g., which may indicate how important the feature is to output generated by the model). This process may be repeated for additional features and additional performance metrics may be obtained.
