Patent number: 11556569Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for visualizing a machine learning model are provided. A confusion matrix and model performance metric data are received from a classification model. For each data point in the confusion matrix, a corresponding pixel is generated. The pixels are grouped into clusters. Each cluster represents a label in the confusion matrix. A centroid is generated for each cluster. Using the model performance metric data, a misclassification indicator arrow is generated for each misclassified data point. The misclassification indicator arrow indicates both the predicted class and the actual class. The clusters, the centroids, and the misclassification indicator arrow are displayed as a graphical visualization of the machine learning model.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2020Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ellen R. Kolsto, Mark Marrara, Joel Russell Huffman, Stefan A. G. Van Der Stockt

Publication number: 20220391572Abstract: Systems, computer-implemented methods, and computer program products to facilitate generation of a visualization scheme of noise in a quantum circuit are provided. According to an embodiment, a system can comprise a processor that executes computer executable components stored in memory. The computer executable components can comprise a calculation component that can calculate a noise state of a layer in a quantum circuit. The computer executable components can further comprise a visualization component that can render a visual representation of the noise state at the layer in the quantum circuit.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2021Publication date: December 8, 2022Inventors: Joel Russell Huffman, Ellen R.

Patent number: 11106710Abstract: A user session for a client device may be initiated by a computerized answering system. Answers to one or more questions may be provided via a network for presentation in a user interface of a display of the client device, where the presentation of the answers may be based on a default profile. User interaction with one or more of the answers presented in the user interface of the display of the client device is monitored during the user session. A first user profile is selected from a plurality of user profiles in response to determining attributes of the user interaction correspond to attributes of the first user profile. The user interface of the display of the client device is modified to change from presenting the answers based on the default profile to presenting the answers based on the first user profile.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2018Date of Patent: August 31, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: John B. Gordon, Scott H. Isensee, Mark Marrara, William G. O'Keeffe, Cale Vardy

Patent number: 10061842Abstract: A question is received in a computerized answering system via an input device. A plurality of classes corresponding to the question are retrieved from a memory device. One or more answers to the question are generated by a processor. Each answer is associated with a confidence value. The confidence values associated with the answers are compared with thresholds associated with the plurality of classes. The answers are classified by the processor into the plurality of classes based on the comparing. The answers are presented via a display device in accordance with the classification of the answers. A user response to at least one of the answers is detected. At least one of the plurality of classes is adjusted based on the user response.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2014Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: John B.

Patent number: 9734261Abstract: Context data is determined for a web page. The context data includes textual data that describes subject matter displayed on the web page. A client query is retrieved from a client-retrieved instance of the web page. An identifier associated with the web page capable of distinguishing the web page from other web pages is determined. In response to receiving the client query, a plurality of queries are retrieved from a database. Whether one or more of the retrieved queries correlate the determined web page context and the received client query is determined. A set of one or more queries from the plurality of queries is selected based on the selected set of queries each having been determined to correlate the web page context data and the client query. The selected set of the plurality of the queries is sent to the client-retrieved instance of the web page.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2016Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kevin B.
