  • Publication number: 20200410324
    Abstract: A transitive closure data structure is constructed for a pair of features represented in a vector space corresponding to an input dataset. The data structure includes a set of entries corresponding to a set of all possible paths between a first feature in the pair and a second feature in the pair in a graph of the vector space. The data structure is reduced by removing a subset of the set of entries such that only a single entry corresponding to a single path remains in the transitive closure data structure. A feature cross is formed from a cluster of features remaining in a reduced ontology graph resulting from the reducing the transitive closure data structure. A layer is configured in a neural network to represent the feature cross, which causes the neural network to produce a prediction that is within a defined accuracy relative to the dataset.

  • Publication number: 20200387761
    Abstract: In an approach for predictive forecasting of food allocation, a first data is received from one or more sensors. The amount and condition of available food is determined from the first data. The number and location of people is determined from the first data. The received data is modified to create a second data. One or more food requirements for the people are predicted based on the number and location of people and the second data. An optimal food allocation for the people is predicted based on the amount and condition of food available and the one or more food requirements. The optimal food allocation is reported.

  • Publication number: 20200372977
    Abstract: Techniques for probabilistic analysis of chemicals are provided. An indication of a proposed chemical composition is received. A predicted toxicity score is generated for the proposed chemical composition by performing probabilistic analysis on the proposed chemical composition. The probabilistic analysis includes identifying, based on a knowledge graph, at least one similar composition that is structurally similar to the proposed chemical composition. The analysis also includes identifying a set of chemical reactions that include the at least one similar composition, and determining one or more products of the identified set of chemical reactions. The probabilistic analysis further includes determining a toxicity of at least one of the one or more products. Finally, the predicted toxicity score is returned.

  • Publication number: 20200082813
    Abstract: Identifying private information and preventing privacy violations is provided by a process that evaluates digital information obtained by an organization as part of a digital information stream from a user. The evaluating identifies a user utterance, including keyword(s), entity/ies, and intent(s), and applies natural language understanding to the digital information to ascertain a contextual understanding for the user utterance. The process selects training set(s) of historical information from available training sets that includes vocabulary used in varying contexts. The process compares the identified user utterance to an ontology based on the selected training set(s), and determines a confidence level that the digital information includes digital private information. The process also flags for the organization an action to take with respect to handling of the digital information. The flagging is based on the determined confidence level that the digital information includes digital private information.

  • Patent number: 10102240
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention manage event metrics as a function of service management analytics. In response to determining that a version of record associated with a service level management agreement should be saved (versioned), aspects capture the presence of reference attributes of the record, and summarize and aggregate values of organizing dimensions of the reference attributes of each of a plurality of records that includes the versioned record. Aspects generate a snapshot that comprises a subset of the summarized and aggregated, final values of the organizing dimensions of the reference attributes that are selected as having values that are associated with an event occurrence, and attach the summarized and aggregated values of the organizing dimensions of to the snapshot.

  • Publication number: 20180107722
    Abstract: A method and system for managing queries in business intelligence platforms. It is determined that at least one requirement to complete a first query exceeds a threshold and in response, a redacted report failing to exceed the threshold is generated. The first query requests data from at least one business intelligence content from a first geographical region. In response to detecting a rejection, by a user, of the redacted report after the user had been prompted, to accept or reject the redacted report: (i) the first query is converted to a second query configured to be used by an Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) program from a second geographical region; and (ii) a report responsive to the first query is generated.

  • Patent number: 8904551
    Abstract: A method, system and program product for using access-control lists to control access to categorized computer files. Two or more computer files are each associated with one of a set of possible classifications that fall within a single category and an access-control list associates a user with a subset of these classifications. In response to the user's request for access to one of these files, where the request specifies the requested file but does not specify the category of the requested file, the processor identifies the requested file's category based on that file's associated classifications, checks the access-control list to determine that the user is authorized to access files of the identified category, and then grants the requesting user access to the requested file.
