  • Patent number: 11023530
    Abstract: Systems and methods for prioritizing interview questions, including predicting answers to questions in a candidate question set using a neural network model, and generating a ranking for each of the questions in the candidate question set by determining answer confidence, completeness, and ambiguity for each of the answers, and incorporating user preferences using a personalized preference matrix. A top ranked question is automatically selected and presented to the user, and the personalized preference matrix is iteratively adjusted for subsequent ranking of questions based on an answer to the top ranked question by the user to reduce computational resources expended.

  • Publication number: 20210089528
    Abstract: A system, program product, and method for use with an artificial intelligence (AI) platform to dynamically amend a knowledge base responsive to query evaluating and processing. A received or detected query is subject to natural language processing to identify, annotate, and map one or more query tokens against a knowledge base. The query tokens are evaluated against the knowledge base to identify one or more query tokens absent from the knowledge base and leverage a neural network to predict a probability relationship between the query tokens absent from the knowledge base and one or more tokens populated in the knowledge base. The natural language (NL) query is translated to a structured query language (SQL) and the SQL query is executed and evaluated, and the knowledge base is selectively and dynamically amended subject to the SQL evaluation.

  • Patent number: 10935951
    Abstract: In an electrical power outlet device, a processor and a memory are configured to execute an application within the outlet device, which computes a pattern of usage of the outlet device. A set of sensors in the outlet device includes a first sensor that is usable to detect an event in an environment in which the outlet device is supplying power. The environment includes elements that are not participating in an electrical circuit that receives power from the outlet device and the event is usable by the application to alter the pattern of usage. An autonomous modification of an operation of the outlet device is performed in response to the pattern of usage, the event, or both. The operation changes a power supplying state of the outlet device without using an external switching apparatus or an external logic implemented outside the outlet device.

  • Publication number: 20210058370
    Abstract: A method provides for controlling compliance remediation that includes performing compliance inspection runs by account nodes for multiple accounts. Inspection results of the inspection runs from each account node are aggregated by an account cognitive policy advisory (CPA) service. The inspection results from each account are aggregated. It is determined whether remediations are required by analyzing the inspection results combined with a current compliance mode of a server. Upon a determination that the current compliance mode of the server is a first mode, the account CPA service determines whether a policy fingerprint has changed. Upon a change to the policy fingerprint, compliance enforcement runs on the account nodes are temporarily suspended.
