  • Patent number: 11809988
    Abstract: An artificial intelligence (AI) system that includes a processor configured to execute modules of the AI system. The modules comprise a feature extractor, an adversarial noise generator, a compressor and a classifier. The feature extractor is trained to process input data to extract features of the input data for classification of the input data. The adversarial noise generator is trained to generate noise data for distribution of features of the input data such that a misclassification rate of corrupted features that include the extracted features corrupted with the generated noise data is greater than a misclassification rate of the extracted features. The compressor is configured to compress the extracted features. The compressed features are closer to the extracted features than to the corrupted features. The classifier is trained to classify the compressed features.

  • Patent number: 11794255
    Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) metal object manufacturing apparatus is operated to form sloping surfaces having a slope angle of more than 45° from a line that is perpendicular to the structure on which the layer forming the slope surface is formed. The angle corresponds to a step-out distance from the perpendicular line and a maximum individual step-out distance determined from empirically derived data. Multiple passes of an ejection head of the apparatus can be performed within a layer to form a sloped edge and the mass of the sloped structure is distributed within the sloped edge so the edge is formed without defects.

  • Patent number: 11797956
    Abstract: Disclosed are example methods, systems, and devices for integrating payment API services provided by a service provider computing system with a client application. The client application running on a user device may allow a user to make payments and/or to submit payments for approval and may communicate payment information to a client computing system. If a payment is submitted for approval via the client application, the client computing system may make API calls to the service provider computing system to, for example, submit, view, and/or cancel payments. Payments may be approved by a second user using a second device. The service provider computing system initiates fund transfers for approved payments. Payments may be submitted within the operating environment of the client application without use of an application or website of the service provider.

  • Patent number: 11798029
    Abstract: Off-policy evaluation of a new “target” policy is performed using historical data gathered based on a previous “logging” policy to estimate the performance of the target policy. An estimator may be used, wherein either a quality-based estimator or a quality-agnostic estimator is used to weight the difference between an observed reward in the historical data and an estimated reward generated by the target policy. A quality-agnostic estimator may be used to evaluate an importance weight according to a threshold. In such examples, when the importance weight exceeds the threshold, the quality-agnostic estimator clips the importance weight at the threshold, thereby providing an fixed upper bound irrespective of the quality of the reward predictor. In other examples, a quality-based estimator is used, in which an upper bound incorporates the quality of the reward predictor in order to modify an importance weight used by the estimator.
