  • Patent number: 11842324
    Abstract: A method for extracting a dam emergency event based on a dual attention mechanism is provided. The method includes: performing data preprocessing, building a dependency graph, building a dual attention network, and filling a document-level argument. The performing data preprocessing includes labeling a dam emergency corpus and encoding sentences. Building a dependency graph includes assisting a model to mine a syntactic relation based on a dependency. Building a dual attention network includes weighing and fusing an attention network based on a graph transformer network (GTN) and capturing key semantic information in the sentence. Filling a document-level argument includes filling a document-level argument by detecting a key sentence and ordering a semantic similarity. The method introduces a dependency and overcomes the long-range dependency problem based on the dual attention mechanism, thus achieving high identification accuracy and reducing a lot of labor costs.

  • Patent number: 11763319
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods capable of establishing a communication session between a customer and an analyst. The contents of the communication session are analyzed to make recommendations of goods and services to the customer. Otherwise, the communication session may be redirected from one channel, for example, chatting to another channel, for example, voice call, to another analyst. The customer's information and the communication session details are retained, and provided to another analyst before the customer is redirected. Such systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products use real-time machine learning scoring algorithm to determine which analyst the customers should be transferred to, and thereby saving a lot of time for both the analysts and the customers, and significantly reduce misroutes by eliminating human errors.

  • Patent number: 11579155
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems are disclosed for analyzing quality control (QC) strategies that are applied to testing processes an analyte in order to meet an acceptable level of probability of patient harm that could result from incorrect test results. The measure of patient harm takes into account severity of patient harm, as well as its occurrence. Methods include calculating, based on the parameters of the QC strategies and the test apparatus, an expected number of incorrect final results E(Nuf) due to a test system failure. The value of E(Nuf) can be used as part of a calculation of a predicted level of probability patient harm. The ratio of the acceptable level of probability of patient harm to the predicted level of probability patient harm can determine the adequacy of the QC strategies.

  • Patent number: 11055725
    Abstract: A system and method for temporal feasibility analyses that links a service requirement to a source capable of providing a service. In embodiments, the service requirement is received from a requestor, wherein the service requirement defines a type of service, location, and a request to provide the service within a predetermined time period. A repository of sources is analyzed to determine qualified sources that provide service to a region that includes the service location and have a response status greater than a predefined threshold, where the response status indicates a probability of the source being available to provide the service within the time period. A request is sent to each qualified source to provide the service, and responses are then received from at least one of the qualified sources in response to sending the request.

  • Patent number: 11004164
    Abstract: An online system allows third-party systems to provide content for distribution to users. The online system allows trademark owners to search for content items that are likely to violate trademarks. The online system receives proof of the trademark registration from trademark owner's devices. The online system receives a search request for content items that are likely to violate a trademark. The online system ranks the content items that are likely to violate the input trademark based on various factors. One of the factors used for ranking the content items is a score generated by a machine learning based model that indicates a likelihood of violation of trademarks by a content item. The online system controls the rate of distribution of content items of a content provider based on information indicating whether the content provider violates trademarks, for example, by blocking distribution of content items by specific content providers.
