  • Patent number: 12177737
    Abstract: Techniques for determining levels of interactions amongst entities in a group are provided. A plurality of mobile electronic devices detect signal data indicating when pairs of devices are proximate to one another. A receiver receives the detected signal data, and a data structure representing a contact network is generated based on the received detected signal data. Based on the contact network, a first metric is generated comprising a quantification of an average number of other entities in the contact network with which an entity in the contact network will have interactions in a predetermined amount of time. Based on the contact network, a second metric is generated comprising a quotient comprising of a size of a component of the contact network divided by an overall network size of the contact network. Based on the first and second metric, a level of interaction amongst entities in the group is determined.

  • Publication number: 20240419694
    Abstract: A system for automatically generating responses to user queries includes one or more processors, operable when executing instructions to: receive a query from a user, determine a first set of similarity scores between the query and a plurality of stored queries stored in a data store, and determine whether a first similarity score of the first set of similarity scores meets a first threshold. In accordance with a determination that the first similarity score meets the first threshold, the processors are further operable to obtain a set of case information for the current case; retrieve case information for at least one precedent case; determine a second set of similarity scores between the current case and the at least one precedent case; determine whether a second similarity score of the second set of similarity scores meets a second threshold; and generate a response to the query.

  • Patent number: 12079578
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems, methods, and products that generate semantic resolutions of wireless signals. An analytic server may train a plurality of inductive classifiers generate a respective set of deduction rules. For example, the analytic server may train a first inductive classifier to mine a first set of deduction rules matching service set identifiers (SSIDs) with business entities. As another example, the analytic server may train a second inductive classifier to mine a second set of deduction rules matching proximal groupings of wireless signals (also referred to as hyperclusters) with business entities. Upon receiving an unresolved wireless signal, the analytic server may apply at least one of the first and second set of deduction rules to assign a semantic meaning to the wireless signal.

  • Publication number: 20240289119
    Abstract: A system for updating application capabilities across identity and access management (IAM) platforms is provided herein. The system receives data at a central system from a plurality of data sources. The central system identifies deployed application capabilities based on data from a first data source and identifies target application capabilities from a second data source.

  • Patent number: 12072861
    Abstract: Described herein is a regulatory parser that downloads and efficiently processes regulatory documents. The regulatory documents may be from different sources and may have different formats. The regulatory parser parses all of the text in the regulatory documents and converts into a predetermined, single format for downstream applications. The text is organized and stored in a structured tree, organized into one or more hierarchies with nodes storing segments of text from a regulatory document. In some embodiments, each node in the regulatory tree may represent a segment of text. Partitioning the text of a regulatory document into segments of text may make the storage and querying of the regulatory documents more manageable. The organization and structure of the structured tree may reduce the times and resources needed for accessing and searching for a regulatory citation. The structured tree may allow a user to manipulate a regulatory document or text.

  • Patent number: 11929066
    Abstract: Described are systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program product embodiments for automatically processing intent-based spoken language for SLU. The disclosed solution uses a scale-free network structured conversational knowledge graph that stores nodes representative of actions, objects, and intent names and edges representative of relationships between the nodes. For all phrases (including a sentence) from the same intent, the system calculates a mean feature vector using a Universal Sentence Embedding (USE) model as a feature element. The system also employs a multi-step intent detection strategy. A graph query technique may be used to match all potential intent nodes from the trained knowledge graph. The system may compute a covariance matrix between the feature element of an input phrase and feature elements of all potential intents. The major component of the covariance matrix along with the maximum covariance may be used to determine the final intent.
