  • Patent number: 11734549
    Abstract: A compiler receives a description of a machine learning network (MLN) and generates a computer program that implements the MLN on a machine learning accelerator (MLA). To implement the MLN, the compiler generates compute instructions that implement computations of the MLN on different processing units (Tiles), and data transfer instructions that transfer data used in the computations. The compiler may statically schedule at least a portion of the instructions for execution by the Tiles according to fixed timing. The compiler may initially implement data transfers between non-adjacent Tiles (or external memories) by implementing a sequence of transfers through one or more intermediate Tiles (or external memories) in accordance with a set of default routing rules that dictates the data path. The computer program may then be simulated to identify routing conflicts. When routing conflicts are detected, the compiler updates the computer program in a manner that avoids the conflicts.

  • Patent number: 11727451
    Abstract: A network system provides interventions to providers to reduce the likelihood that its users will experience safety incidents. The providers provide service to the users such as transportation. Providers who are safe and have positive interpersonal behavior may be perceived by users as high quality providers. However, other providers may be more prone to cause safety incidents. A machine learning model is trained using features derived from service received by users of the network system. Randomized experiments and trained models predict the effectiveness of various interventions on a provider based on characteristics of the provider and the feedback received for the provider. As interventions are sent to providers, the change in feedback can indicate whether the intervention was effective. By providing messages proactively, the network system may prevent future safety incidents from occurring.

  • Patent number: 11645652
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described herein for the direct sharing and use of transaction data separately from transaction authorization processes. Transaction metadata associated with a transaction may be received and validated. Authorization information corresponding to the transaction may be received. The degree to which the transaction metadata is tested may be based on a predicted time of receipt of the authorization information. The transaction metadata and authorization information may be correlated. A computing device may determine whether to authorize the financial transaction based on the authorization information and the correlated transaction metadata. All or portions of the transaction metadata may be provided to one or more users after the transaction has been authorized or denied.

  • Patent number: 11622237
    Abstract: An improved system and method for defining an event based upon an object location and a user-defined zone and managing the conveyance of object location event information among computing devices where object location events are defined in terms of a condition based upon a relationship between user-defined zone information and object location information. One or more location information sources are associated with an object to provide the object location information. One or more user-defined zones are defined on a map and one or more object location events are defined. The occurrence of an object location event produces object location event information that is conveyed to users based on user identification codes. Accessibility to object location information, zone information, and object location event information is based upon an object location information access code, a zone information access code, and an object location event information access code, respectively.

  • Patent number: 11558387
    Abstract: Examples of techniques for validation of approver identifiers in a cloud computing environment are described herein. An aspect includes receiving, by a processor, a template that defines a plurality of actions to be performed by the processor. Another aspect includes determining for a first action of the plurality of actions whether the template specifies a first user identifier under which to run the first action. Another aspect includes, based on determining that the template specifies the first user identifier, determining whether the template specifies a second user identifier to approve running of the first action under the first user identifier. Another aspect includes, based on determining that the template specifies the second user identifier to approve running of the first action under the first user identifier, validating whether the second user identifier has permission to approve the running of the first action under the first user identifier.

  • Patent number: 11546380
    Abstract: A system and method for creating and implementing data processing workflows using a distributed computational graph comprising modules that represent various stages within a data processing workflow. Each module represents one or more data processing steps, with some of the modules representing data processing performed by a cloud-based service and containing code for interfacing with the application programming interface (API) of that cloud-based service. A series of modules and their interconnections specify the workflow. Data is processed according to the workflow by implementing the data processing step represented by each module, some of which may access cloud-based data processing services. The result is that users can create complex data processing workflows that utilize cloud-based services to process data without having to know how to access the cloud-based data processing services, or even know that they exist.

  • Patent number: 11538281
    Abstract: Examples provide analyzing motion data. Worker specific sensor data is received and both a task and at least one worker movement based on the received worker specific sensor data are identified. At least one task threshold parameter associated with the identified task and ergometric data for a worker related to the identified task is retrieved and at least one worker specific task parameter based on the received worker specific sensor data is generated. The at least one task threshold parameter is compared with the at least one worker specific task parameter and the at least one worker movement is compared with the ergometric data for the worker related to the identified task. Worker specific task data is generated based on the comparison and a change for future worker movement is identified based on the comparison.

  • Patent number: 11538117
    Abstract: An intermediate computer hosts a tax return preparation application and generates an interview screen presented to a preparer through a display of the preparer computing device executing a browser. In response, the preparer acquires images of tax documents to begin preparation of an electronic tax return, e.g., by sequentially taking photographs of tax documents using a camera of a mobile communication device, which transmits the images or results of image processing such as Optical Character Recognition(OCR) to the intermediate computer. The intermediate computer, as necessary, performs OCR processing and automatically populates a plurality of electronic tax forms with the first electronic tax data and the second electronic tax data. The electronic tax return may be completed by tax document imaging and manual corrections to OCR results as necessary, in contrast to traditional tax return preparation applications structured according to a pre-determined and programmed sequence of interview screens.
