  • Publication number: 20210241200
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing organizational or corporate structures, including the employee roles or activities administered by human resources. A portion of the role datasets received within human resource records may be used to generate role tokens comprising unique datasets that have been truncated and deduped. Such tokens may be extracted based on assigned prioritization scores, and further assigned training labels representing categorical levels. Predictive labels may be assigned to a remaining portion of the extracted tokens via a logistic regression classifier, and a model organizational dataset may be generated based on the assigned training labels and the assigned predictive labels. The prediction certainty of the role tokens in the model organizational dataset may be used to map the identified role tokens to the roles represented in the human resource records.

  • Publication number: 20210232613
    Abstract: A domain-specific question answering system receives an end-user's question, identifies relevant information from domain-specific documents, composes a natural-language based response including the relevant information to be provided to the end-user. A knowledge base includes a domain-specific ontology and is built from data structures configured to preserve the hierarchy of the informational elements within the domain-specific documents. The question received from the end-user is analyzed to extract the features and the key phrases which are used to identify the relevant data structures. A pre-trained model that is further trained on domain-specific data is used to identify the sentences that include information responsive to the question. A response to the end-user's question is composed from the sentences. The question answering system also enables validation of the answers provided to the users' questions.

  • Patent number: 11075757
    Abstract: A system may receive a request to perform a token exchange between a first account and a second account. A selected token for the token exchange may be associated with the first account. A hash of the selected token may be stored on a furnisher blockchain of a first distributed ledger. The system may generate a new token and a hash of the new token. The system may generate a shielded exchange instruction, the shielded exchange instruction comprising the hash of the new token and a zero-knowledge proof, wherein the zero-knowledge proof is indicative of the selected token being associated with the first account. The system may submit the shielded exchange instruction to a distributed ledger technology platform to cause execution of a furnisher smart contract and a receiver smart contract. Each of the smart contracts are configured to separately verify the zero-knowledge proof and update corresponding blockchains to consummate and record the token exchange.

  • Patent number: 11074775
    Abstract: A system may facilitate distributed ledger technology (DLT) record based (for example, blockchain-based) voting. A voter may distribute vote-value to answers using committed tokens that bind the voter to a particular vote-value without divulging the particular vote value while in a cryptographic form. The voter may distribute committed tokens to multiple answers. In some cases, the distribution of the committed tokens to multiple answers may frustrate attempts to determine the one or more targets to which the voter delivers a non-null vote-value.

  • Patent number: 11075959
    Abstract: A system includes a security controller located within a central-zone in communication with a provisioned agent operating on an edge-zone device. The security controller may implement controller-blind security control on the edge-zone device by making security authorization determinations using a secure-operation confidence analysis performed by the provisioned agent. The provisioned agent, operating within the edge-zone, may have access to un-sanitized data, which may be unavailable to the security controller in the central-zone. The security controller may provide condition-descriptors via a secure-operation confidence assignment matrix. Using the condition-descriptors, the provisioned agent determine feedback, which may include a secure-operation confidence coefficient, based on the un-sanitized data to which the security controller is blind.
