  • Publication number: 20240095399
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method may include: receiving, from at least one camera, image data associated with a first user at a public access user computing device; detecting, based on the received image data, by employing a machine learning model trained using a dataset of actions collected from a plurality of previous users, that the first user has moved away from the public access user computing device; automatically encrypting, based upon the detection, a user session associated with the first user, wherein the encrypted user session is configured to be subsequently activated by the first user; and initiating a new generic user session on the public access user computing device for a second user.

  • Publication number: 20240080456
    Abstract: In some embodiments, gaze-tracking-based image downscaling for multi-party video communication may be provided. In some embodiments, a set of gaze locations may be received from a set of receiving devices during concurrent video communication sessions between the receiving devices and a sending device. Different collections of positions may be determined based on the gaze locations, and, for each such collection, a spatial indicator (e.g., a bounded region) may be determined. A first downscaled encoding of the source image (from the sending device) may be generated based on the first spatial indicator, and a second downscaled encoding of the source image may be generated based on the second spatial indicator, etc. The downscaled encodings may then be sent to the respective receiving devices during the concurrent video communication sessions.

  • Publication number: 20230088881
    Abstract: Methods and systems for using a generative adversarial network to generate personalized content in real-time as a user accesses original content. The methods and systems perform the generation through the use of an application programming interface (“API”) layer. Using the API layer, the methods and systems may generate alternative content as a user accesses original content (e.g., a website, video, document, etc.). Upon receiving this original content, the API layer access the generative adversarial network to create personalized alternative content.

  • Publication number: 20230060307
    Abstract: Systems and methods for processing user data are disclosed. A system may include a memory storing instructions and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to perform operations. The operations may include receiving, from a sensor, first user data associated with a client device; receiving, from a filter model, feature data corresponding to the first user data, the feature data comprising at least one of workflow information, system messages, or email addresses; training a meta-model to predict the first user data based on the feature data; generating a meta-model output based on the filter model and the feature data; updating the filter model based on the meta-model output; and transmitting the updated filter model to the client device.

  • Patent number: 11423236
    Abstract: A method for identifying phrases in a text document having a similar discourse to a candidate phrase includes separating text in a document file into a plurality of phrases and generating a plurality of embedding vectors in a textual embedding space by inputting the plurality of phrases into an embedding engine. A mapping of each embedding vector in the textual embedding space is generated with each corresponding phrase and a document location of each corresponding phrase in the document file. A candidate phrase is received by a user and a candidate embedding vector is generated using the embedding engine. Similarity scores are computed based on the plurality of embedding space distances between the candidate phrase embedding vector location and each respective location of each embedding vector in the textual embedding space. A listing of phrases with the highest similarity scores are outputted with respective document locations in the text.

  • Publication number: 20220255929
    Abstract: A system configured to execute instructions to perform steps of a method for preventing unauthorized network access is disclosed. The system may receive an authorization request from a first user device and determine a device fingerprint. The system may store the device fingerprint as an authorization fingerprint. The system may receive a login request from a second user device. When the authorization fingerprint matches the device fingerprint, the system may authorize the login request from the second user device. In some embodiments, the system may determine a device state and temporal identifier and create a first device hash to be stored as an authorization hash. The system may receive a login request and cause the first user device to create one or more second device hashes. If at least one second device hash is a match, the system may authorize the login request from the second user device.
