  • Patent number: 12242780
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for using agents at a data lake to assist training, testing, and deploying a model for predicting one or more outputs from specified input to the model, using agents at the data lake. The agents identify at the data lake: hardware resources, a first portion of model input data for training and testing the model, a training language, and a first software resource. A first execution of the first software resource is triggered to split the first portion of the model input data into training input data and testing input data. A first portion of the hardware resources is identified for training and testing the model. A second software resource stored at the data lake is identified for optimizing the model in accordance with an optimization algorithm. Training the model at the data lake is triggered.

Based on the analyzing indicating that the one or more predefined conditions are satisfied, one or more code segments of the computer code including the idiom are replaced with replacement code to provide revised computer code.

  • Patent number: 12236194
    Abstract: A method of this disclosure may include performing a named entity recognition on text information related to requirements for a wireframe by a first artificial intelligence (AI) model, so as to extract entities and relations of the entities from the text information. The method may further comprise inputting the extracted entities and relations to a second AI model to generate the wireframe, wherein the second AI model is trained so that a difference between resultant relations of the entities of the generated wireframe and the extracted relations of the entities from the first AI model is decreased.

  • Patent number: 12236317
    Abstract: One or more systems, devices, computer program products and/or computer-implemented methods of use provided herein relate to analysis of qubit coherence parameters of a physical qubit layout of a quantum computer. A system can comprise a pulse component for transmitting signals to a qubit, a readout component for receiving signals form the qubit, a memory that stores computer executable component, and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components are executable to cause the pulse component to generate a first pulse to drive the qubit, cause the pulse component to generate a second pulse comprising an Autler-Townes off-resonant tone, and determine a probability relative to the qubit, in view of a shift of the qubit to a shifted frequency caused by the second pulse.

  • Patent number: 12236920
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for generating augmented reality sessions based on eye behavior of a user is provided. The method detects a set of eye characteristics of a user. In response to detecting the set of eye characteristics, presentation of an augmented reality session is initiated using an augmented reality device. The method detects a change to at least one eye characteristic of the set of eye characteristics of the user. In response to detecting the change, the method determines the change to the at least one eye characteristic indicates a reduced cognitive state of the user. The augmented reality state being presented to the user is modified in response to determining the change indicates the reduced cognitive state.
