  • Publication number: 20240071112
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system include a processor(s) that map a physical environment by utilizing one or more image capture devices to scan aspects of the physical environment. The mapping identifies contamination levels and features associated with objects in the environment. The processor(s) utilizes unsupervised learning and supervised learning to identify activities engaged in by a user in the environment. The processor(s) determines that a trigger event has occurred. The processor(s) identify an activity engaged in by the user and determine if a user interface utilized by the program code to display results is visible to the user. If the processor(s) determines that the interface is not visible, the processor(s) selects an alert mechanism to alert the user to the trigger event and alerts the user to the trigger event with the selected alert mechanism.

  • Patent number: 11874844
    Abstract: From a set of natural language text documents, a concept tree is constructed. For a node in the concept tree a polarity of the subset represented by the node is scored. A second set of natural language text documents is added to the subset, the adding resulting in a modified subset of natural language text documents having a polarity score within a predefined neutral polarity score range. From the modified subset, a bin of sentences is selected according to a sentence selection parameter, a sentence in the bin of sentences being extracted from a selected document in the modified subset. A sentence having a factuality score below a threshold factuality score is removed from the bin of sentences. From the filtered bin of sentences a new natural language text document corresponding to the filtered bin of sentences is generated using a transformer deep learning narration generation model.

  • Patent number: 11868420
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for faceted search queries through interactive graphical objects. A text search query corresponding to a faceted search is received from a user, which is then parsed for keywords. Attributes associated with the keywords are then extracted and used to generate a graphical representation corresponding to the results associated with the text search query. Further user input to refine the query is provided through manipulation of the graphical representation by the user (such as dragging a leg of a table to change the length of legs on a table) corresponding to modification of one or more facets of the faceted search, narrowing the available search results corresponding to the faceted search.

  • Patent number: 11868503
    Abstract: An embodiment associates a user's post data that with a category from a predefined list of categories based on the post content. The embodiment analyzes, using machine learning, the post data for potentially sensitive content and generates a first sensitive data indicator identifying potentially sensitive information in the post data and an associated first confidence value. The embodiment generates explanatory data identifying a feature that contributed to the post data being identified as potentially sensitive, and generates a modified version of the post data that modifies the feature. The embodiment analyzes the modified post data for potentially sensitive content and generates a second sensitive data indicator and a second confidence value indicating that the post data is more likely to contain sensitive data than the modified post data. The embodiment alerts the user regarding the potentially sensitive data and recommends changing the post based on the modified feature value.
