Patent number: 11070673Abstract: A device configured to obtain at least a portion of a phone call and to identify a voice signal associated with a person on the phone call. The device is further configured to generate metadata for the phone call and a transcript for the phone call. The device is further configured to input the transcript and the metadata into a machine learning model and to receive a call profile from the machine learning model. The call profile includes a first call classification for the phone call. The device is further configured to identify a call log associated with the phone call that includes a second call classification for the phone call. The device is further configured to determine that the first call classification does not match the second call classification, to generate a feedback report that identifies the first call classification, and to output the feedback report.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2020Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Brian E. Lemus, Charles C. Zhou, Bernis N. Smith, Milton Stanley Prime

Patent number: 9792404Abstract: Methods and systems for knowledge pattern search and analysis for selecting microorganisms based on desired metabolic properties or biological behaviors are disclosed in various embodiments of the invention. In one embodiment of the invention, a computer-implemented method for selecting a purpose-specific microorganism first compiles microorganisms' profiles by linking each microorganism's methanogenic, hydrogenic, electrogenic, another metabolic property, and/or another biological behavior to genetic and chemical fingerprints of metabolic and energy-generating biological pathways. Then, based on the compiled profiles of the microorganisms, the computer-implemented method groups the microorganisms into pathway characteristics using machine-learning and pattern recognition performed on a computer system, and subsequently generates a prediction called “discovered characteristics” for a desired metabolic property or a desired biological behavior of at least one microorganism.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2013Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Inventors: Charles C Zhou, Ying Zhao

Patent number: 9323837Abstract: The present invention discloses various embodiments of multiple domain anomaly detection systems and methods. In one embodiment of the invention, a multiple domain anomaly detection system uses a generic learning procedure per domain to create a “normal data profile” for each domain based on observation of data per domain, wherein the normal data profile for each domain can be used to determine and compute domain-specific anomaly data per domain. Then, domain-specific anomaly data per domain can be analyzed together in a cross-domain fusion data analysis using one or more fusion rules. The fusion rules may involve comparison of domain-specific anomaly data from multiple domains to derive a multiple-domain anomaly score meter for a particular cross-domain analysis task. The multiple domain anomaly detection system and its related method may also utilize domain-specific anomaly indicators of each domain to derive a cross-domain anomaly indicator using the fusion rules.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2011Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Inventors: Ying Zhao, Charles C. Zhou, Chetan Kotak

Patent number: 8903756Abstract: One or more systems and methods for knowledge pattern search from networked agents are disclosed in various embodiments of the invention. A system and a related method can utilizes a knowledge pattern discovery process, which involves analyzing historical data, contextualizing, conceptualizing, clustering, and modeling of data to pattern and discover information of interest. This process may involve constructing a pattern-identifying model using a computer system by applying a context-concept-cluster (CCC) data analysis method, and visualizing that information using a computer system interface. In one embodiment of the invention, once the pattern-identifying model is constructed, the real-time data can be gathered using multiple learning agent devices, and then analyzed by the pattern-identifying model to identify various patterns for gains analysis and derivation of an anomalousness score.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2011Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Inventors: Ying Zhao, Charles C.
