  • Publication number: 20240144007
    Abstract: A method of contrastive learning comprises: determining, based on a model construction criterion, a first encoder for a first modality and a second encoder for a second modality; constructing a first contrastive learning model, the first contrastive learning model comprising the first encoder and a third encoder for the second modality, and a model capacity of the third encoder being greater than a model capacity of the second encoder; performing pre-training of the first contrastive learning model based on a first training dataset for the first modality and the second modality; and providing the pre-trained first encoder in the pre-trained first contrastive learning model for a downstream task. Because only the model capacity of one encoder is increased in the pre-training stage, model performance may be improved without increasing model training overhead during downstream task fine-tuning and model running overhead during model application.

In a method, a plurality of sample sets for training the contrastive learning model are obtained, and the plurality of sample sets comprises a first sample set and a second sample set. A first target sample set is selected from the first sample set and the second sample set according to a predetermined rule. A first set of samples are determined based on the first target sample set according to a predefined batch size. The contrastive learning model is trained using the first set of samples. In this way, on the one hand, performance degradation of the contrastive learning model due to sample set bias may be avoided; on the other hand, a forgetting problem in the training process may be alleviated.

  • Patent number: 11973772
    Abstract: Conventional email filtering services are not suitable for recognizing sophisticated malicious emails, and therefore may allow sophisticated malicious emails to reach inboxes by mistake. Introduced here are threat detection platforms designed to take an integrative approach to detecting security threats. For example, after receiving input indicative of an approval from an individual to access past email received by employees of an enterprise, a threat detection platform can download past emails to build a machine learning (ML) model that understands the norms of communication with internal contacts (e.g., other employees) and/or external contacts (e.g., vendors). By applying the ML model to incoming email, the threat detection platform can identify security threats in real time in a targeted manner.

    Abstract: A digital assistant supported on devices such as smartphones, tablets, personal computers, game consoles, etc. includes an extensibility client that exposes an interface and service that enables third party applications to be integrated with the digital assistant so the application user experiences are rendered using the native voice of the digital assistant. Specific voice inputs associated with a given application may be registered by developers using a manifest that is loaded when the application is launched on the device so that voice inputs from the device user can be mapped by the digital assistant extensibility client to the appropriate application as input events for consumption. In typical implementations, the manifest is arranged as a declarative document that streamlines application development and provides a seamless user experience by enabling customization of third party applications to integrate the digital assistant's voice and behaviors within the user experience of the application's domain.
