  • Patent number: 12265536
    Abstract: The proposed systems and methods provide a fixed set of intelligent, general APIs to manage access to enterprise data stored in a cloud-based data lake. These systems and methods allow a fixed set of APIs to respond to all queries regarding the stored enterprise data by using a cached reference table that locates the container and document in which the requested data is held. The proposed systems and methods provide a framework for a minimal API service code with the capacity for responding to dynamic queries while maintaining stringent privacy control protections.

  • Patent number: 12266345
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to ASR and is particularly directed to automatic, efficient, and intelligent detection of transcription bias in ASR models. Contrary to a tradition approach to the testing of ASR bias, the example implementations disclosed herein do not require actual test speeches and corresponding ground-truth texts. Instead, test speeches may be machine-generated from a pre-constructed reference textual passage according short speech samples of speakers using a neural voice cloning technology. The reference passage may be constructed according to a particular target domain of the ASR model being tested. Bias of the ASR model in various aspects may be identified by analyzing transcribed text from the machine-generated speeches and the reference textual passage. The underlying principles for bias detection may be applied to evaluation of general transcription effectiveness and accuracy of the ASR model.

  • Patent number: 12259943
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media that support optimization of communications transmitted over a plurality of communication mediums. Historical communications data may be analyzed to identify clusters of users and a model may be constructed based on the clusters. Candidate sequences of communications over a period of time (e.g., sequences of communication successfully triggering events) are identified using metrics (e.g., probabilities, attribution penalties, etc.) derived from the model or other information. The candidate sequences of communications may be determined at a group or cluster level and then tuned or optimized (e.g., using transition sequences, harmonization, entity priors, etc.) for individual users to produce optimized sequences of communications. The optimized sequences of communications may then be transmitted to individual users according to each user's optimized sequence of communications.

  • Patent number: 12253860
    Abstract: Embodiments provide systems, method, and computer-readable storage media for performing robotic tasks in a distributed and coordinated manner. A fleet of robots may use a sequence of messages to appoint supervisors for a set of tasks, where the supervisor robots are responsible for ensuring that their supervised tasks are completed by other robots of the fleet. The supervisors may solicit requests from other robots to perform available tasks and select a robot to perform an available task. Once a robot is appointed, the supervisor and the worker may use messaging sequences to monitor the status of the task and participating robots (e.g., the supervisor and the worker). The monitoring may enable the supervisor to detect a failed worker and enable other robots to detect a failed supervisor.

  • Patent number: 12254383
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media that support detection and mitigation of defects occurring in outputs of a process. A modelling engine creates and trains models to identify defects occurring in outputs of a process or system. A set of causation rules may be created and trained to identify causes of different defects identifiable via the models and a set of control rules may be created and trained to generate control data that may mitigate the causes of identified defects. A process monitoring device incorporating the trained models and rules may then be used to monitor the process and detect defects using the models. Once a defect is detected, the rules may be applied to determine the cause of the defect and then control data may be generated to modify the process such that further occurrences of the defect are reduced or eliminated.

  • Patent number: 12248601
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media that support secure training of machine learning (ML) models that preserves privacy in untrusted environments using distributed executable file packages. The executable file packages may include files, libraries, scripts, and the like that enable a cloud service provider configured to provide ML model training based on non-encrypted data to also support homomorphic encryption of data and ML model training with one or more clients, particularly for a diagnosis prediction model trained using medical data. Because the training is based on encrypted client data, private client data such as patient medical data may be used to train the diagnosis prediction model without exposing the client data to the cloud service provider or others. Using homomorphic encryption enables training of the diagnosis prediction model using encrypted data without requiring decryption prior to training.

  • Patent number: 12242958
    Abstract: A system for issue prediction based on multidimensional data analysis includes a model generator that receives a resolved data item relating to a service issue. The resolved data item includes different attributes corresponding to multiple data dimensions and adjusts a population of attributes based on a statistical data model and a deep learning data model operating independent of each other. The statistical data model operates on the attributes for providing a predictive feature and the deep learning data model operates on the attributes for providing a predictive label based on performance metrics related to the data dimensions. The predictive feature and the predictive label collectively define training data. The model generator also trains a classification model based on the training data for predicting a potential issue related to an unresolved data item. The trained data model provides a trigger based on the potential issue being related to the performance metrics.

  • Publication number: 20250068741
    Abstract: An Artificial Intelligence (AI) based filter apparatus includes an input filter and an output filter protecting a generative AI model and preventing restricted content from being transmitted to user devices. When a user query is received, the input filter determines if the user query can be transmitted to the generative AI model by generating an input risk score for the received user query. If the user query is transmitted and a model query response is received from the generative AI model, the output filter determines an output risk score based on which the model query response may be transmitted to the user. The input filter and the output filter each include a pre-trained language model as a base with additional layers trained to estimate the corresponding risk scores.
