  • Patent number: 11658660
    Abstract: A device comprises first and second qubits, and a qubit coupler coupled between the first and second qubits. The second qubit comprises first and second modes with the first mode configured to store data. The qubit coupler comprises first and second modes, and operates in a first state or second state. In the first state, the first qubit is exchange coupled to the first mode of the qubit coupler, and the second mode of the second qubit is exchange coupled to the second mode of the qubit coupler, to suppress interaction between the first and second qubits. In the second state, the first qubit and the first mode of the second qubit are exchange coupled to both the first and second modes the qubit coupler, to enable interaction between the first and second qubits for an entanglement gate operation in response to a control signal applied to the qubit coupler.

  • Patent number: 11650987
    Abstract: From a first attribute-value pair in a record, new data is created including a first token. Using a first model and using a processor and a memory, each token is vectorized into new data including a corresponding vector. From the record, a target row is selected, wherein a target attribute-value pair in the target row includes a value for which a semantic similarity computation is to be performed. Using a similarity measure, a set of most similar rows to the target row is determined, wherein each row in the set of most similar rows to the target row has a corresponding similarity measure above a threshold similarity measure and wherein each row in the set of most similar rows includes the target attribute. The set of most similar rows is used to compute a response to a database query.

  • Patent number: 11651281
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a system, program product, and method for generating an enhanced feature catalog for a predictive model. The embodiments disclosed herein include capturing predictive model design time information including training data lineage metadata to determine the features of the training data, model design time measurements, and model design time metadata. Once the predictive model is built, the training data lineage metadata is used to capture the features that will be maintained within a feature catalog. The model design time measurements and model design time metadata provide further correlation between the predictive model and the features. Runtime metrics on the predictive model create additional correlations between the captured data and metadata with the features in the feature catalog to expeditiously identify the relevant features of the predictive model.
