Patent number: 11449677Abstract: Embodiments relate to a system, program product, and method for use with an intelligent computer platform and cognitive processing and associated distribution. The embodiments support a mechanism for dynamically sharing critical and non-critical information responsive to a classification model, such that only relevant information or part of the information is shared. As the classification model is subject to modification, the dynamic sharing mechanism is dynamically updated to reflect such modification. Similarly, as an associated document or file is subject to modification, dynamic processing of the document or file takes place responsive to the classification model. The dynamic classification and document processing employ NLP and ML models to support the associated functionality.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2018Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Vittorio Castelli, Shikhar Kwatra, Florian Pinel, Sushain Pandit

Patent number: 11363094Abstract: In an approach for efficient data processing in a mesh network of computing devices, a processor receives data to be processed in the mesh network. A processor distributes a set of computational units to a set of computing devices in the mesh network. A processor creates a computational plan to construct a computational pipeline of the set of computational units. The computational plan considers cost and performance trade-offs by considering limitation of hardware resources, processing speed, accuracy and application requirements. A processor executes the computational plan by sending data to assigned computational units.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2020Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Russell Patrick Bobbitt, Florian Pinel, Peter Alan Coldicott

Patent number: 11354607Abstract: An iterative process for cognitive assessment of generated work products relies on a variety of assessors providing different granularities such as coarse, medium and fine, in combination with user guidance. A cognitive system generates candidates based on soft constraints such as user preferences. The candidates are analyzed using first assessors to compute preliminary scores which are ranked and presented to a user. Based on user selection/adjustment, the system generates a final work product which is analyzed using second assessors, and presents the final work product and final scores to the user. There may be multiple iterations of the user adjustment and refined presentation of final work products. The invention may be consummated by receiving confirmation of the final work product from the user, and taking some action such as electronically completing a purchase of a product or electronically reserving a third-party service.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2018Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Donna K. Byron, Carmine DiMascio, Christian Ewen, Florian Pinel
