  • Patent number: 11615272
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for scrubbing anomalies from an expanding dataset. In an embodiment, a data sanitization system may determine whether data is anomalous to a set of data stored on a first blockchain. The data sanitization system may perform this determination using a first machine learning algorithm trained using the set of data. Upon determining that data is anomalous, the data sanitization system may publish the data in a second blockchain different from the first blockchain. The data sanitization system may monitor data of the second blockchain and apply a second machine learning algorithm to this data to identify a pattern of anomalous data. In response to identifying the pattern, the data sanitization system may publish the anomalous data of the second blockchain to the first blockchain.

  • Patent number: 11615255
    Abstract: Machine classifiers in accordance with embodiments of the invention capture long-term temporal dependencies in the dialogue data better than the existing RNN-based architectures. Additionally, machine classifiers may model the joint distribution of the context and response as opposed to the conditional distribution of the response given the context as employed in sequence-to-sequence frameworks. Machine classifiers in accordance with embodiments further append random paddings before and/or after the input data to reduce the syntactic redundancy in the input data, thereby improving the performance of the machine classifiers for a variety of dialogue-related tasks. The random padding of the input data may further provide regularization during the training of the machine classifier and/or reduce exposure bias. In a variety of embodiments, the input data may be encoded based on subword tokenization.

  • Patent number: 11614553
    Abstract: A fiber optic cable positioned along a casing string in a wellbore may be calibrated by exciting a tube wave in the wellbore and detecting, by the fiber optic cable, a reflected tube wave. The reflected tube wave may correspond to a reflection of the tube wave off an obstacle within the wellbore. The obstacle may have a known location such that a reference point along the fiber optic cable may be associated with the known location of the obstacle for calibrating the fiber optic cable. Downhole applications utilizing data collected by the calibrated fiber optic cable, including location data, may weight the data collected based at least in part on an uncertainty value associated with a particular calibrated location along the length of the fiber optic cable.
