  • Patent number: 11875277
    Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein relate to learning and applying contextual patient similarities. Multiple template similarity functions (118) may be provided (602). Each template similarity function may compare a respective subset of features of a query entity feature vector with a corresponding subset of features of a candidate entity feature vector. A composite similarity function (120) may be provided (604) as a weighted combination of respective outputs of the template similarity functions. A plurality of labeled entity vectors may be provided (606) as context training data. An approximation function may be applied (608) to approximate a first context label for each respective labeled entity vector. A first context specific composite similarity function may be trained (610) based on the composite similarity function by learning first context weights for the template similarity functions using a first loss function based on output of application of the approximation function to the first context training data.

  • Patent number: 11868913
    Abstract: System, apparatus and method may permit users to collaboratively engage in inference on a computer and visualize structure of that inference, and provide a formal verification system for informal argumentation and inference. The system and method may generate and allow for modification of graphical structures that represent sequences of structured rational argumentation; and automatically monitor, compute and represent ratings or scores of nodes within the structure; indicate whether a node is supported by a chain of argumentation that has not been validly rebutted. The graphical structures may be displayed to bring into focus contentious and significant underlying points within an argument, and simulate the effects of alternative resolutions of these contentious points. The graphical displays may provide a transparent verification to other users of the state of what can be demonstrated and refuted, allow discovery of weak or missing points in a logical argument, and allow rational inference by users.

  • Patent number: 11847573
    Abstract: A system coordinates services between users and providers. The system trains a computer model to predict a user state of a user using data about past services. The prediction is based on data associated with a request submitted by a user. Request data can include current data about the user's behavior and information about the service that is independent of the particular user behavior or characteristics. The user behavior may be compared against the user's prior behavior to determine differences in the user behavior for this request and normal behavior of prior requests. The system can alter the parameters of a service based on the prediction about the state of the user requesting the service.

  • Patent number: 11842253
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media related to: training an encoder model that can be utilized to determine semantic similarity of a natural language textual string to each of one or more additional natural language textual strings (directly and/or indirectly); and/or using a trained encoder model to determine one or more responsive actions to perform in response to a natural language query. The encoder model is a machine learning model, such as a neural network model. In some implementations of training the encoder model, the encoder model is trained as part of a larger network architecture trained based on one or more tasks that are distinct from a “semantic textual similarity” task for which the encoder model can be used.

  • Patent number: 11829892
    Abstract: Techniques for detecting and correcting anomalies in computer-based reasoning systems are provided herein. The techniques can include obtaining current context data and determining a contextually-determined action based on the obtained context data and a reasoning model. The reasoning model may have been determined based on one or more sets of training data. The techniques may cause performance of the contextually-determined action and, potentially, receiving an indication that performing the contextually-determined action in the current context resulted in an anomaly. The techniques include determining a portion of the reasoning model that caused the determination of the contextually-determined action based on the obtained context data and causing removal of the portion of the model that caused the determination of the contextually-determined action, to produce a corrected reasoning model.

  • Patent number: 11720808
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for streamlining machine learning. During operation, the system determines a resource overhead for a baseline version of a machine learning model that uses a set of features to produce entity rankings and a number of features to be removed to lower the resource overhead to a target resource overhead. Next, the system calculates importance scores for the features, wherein each importance score represents an impact of a corresponding feature on the entity rankings. The system then identifies a first subset of the features to be removed as the number of features with lowest importance scores and trains a simplified version of the machine learning model using a second subset of the features that excludes the first subset of the features. Finally, the system executes the simplified version to produce new entity rankings.

  • Patent number: 11715023
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a concept for training one or more model parameters of a predictive parking difficulty model for different locations based on collected telemetry data. A ground truth ranking related to subjective parking difficulties at the different locations is obtained based on pairwise comparison of parking difficulties between pairs of the different locations by one or more humans. A prediction loss between a model ranking of the different locations obtained by the predictive parking difficulty model and the ground truth ranking is determined. The one or more model parameters are adjusted to minimize the prediction loss between the model ranking and the ground truth ranking.
